New seasonal sandwiches shake up menus.
Chick-fil-A is adding a honey pepper pimento chicken sandwich to its menus, which features an original Chick-fil-A filet, topped with pimento cheese, mild pickled jalapeños and a sweet honey drizzle, all served on a toasted bun. The chicken chain also added a caramel crumble milkshake, which is made with butterscotch caramel flavors, Chick-fil-A Icedream and blondie crumbles, topped with whipped cream and a cherry.
Sonic Drive-In added a bacon peppercorn ranch grilled cheese to its menus. The new sandwich features a seasoned beef patty, American cheese, hickory smoked bacon and peppercorn ranch, all served on buttered Texas toast.
“Our fans have made it clear how much they love our grilled cheeseburgers, but we wanted to make this comfort-food favorite even more craveable,” said Mackenzie Gibson, vice president of culinary and menu innovation at Sonic. “By adding the flavors of hickory smoked bacon and peppercorn ranch, we created an innovative new burger that can’t be replicated for our price point. It’s a melty, cheesy, delicious burger with a side of tots or fries for under $4 — you can’t beat it.”
Carl’s Jr. introduced the big char chile burger and a salted caramel pretzel shake to its menus, which are available for a limited time. The big char chile burger features a beef patty topped with Santa Fe sauce, pepper jack cheese, a whole charred green chile and iceberg lettuce. The salted caramel pretzel shake is made from a blend of ice cream, milk, caramel syrup and pretzel pieces.
Domino’s Pizza launched a new pepperoni stuffed cheesy bread, which features eight oven-baked breadsticks that have been stuffed with cheese and pepperoni. The cheesy bread is then covered with mozzarella and cheddar cheese and seasoned with a touch of garlic and Parmesan.
Jack in the Box, Inc. is bringing back its Jack’s sauced and loaded potato wedges, which left menus in 2021. The potato wedges are topped with melted shredded cheddar cheese, cheddar cheese sauce, ranch and bacon crumbles. Consumers can also add Jack’s Spicy Good Good Sauce and jalapeños.
