Just in time for National Sandwich Day (November 3), Quiznos is launching a new sub, the A.1. Steak Dip. But do not be confused like I was and assume it’s a sub sandwich that comes with a container of A.1. Steak Sauce for dipping. It is not.

The limited time only sandwich features premium steak topped with A.1. Steak Sauce, mayonnaise, sautéed onions, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese with a side of warm au jus.

A 12-inch sub with au jus has 1060 calories, 38 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 130 milligrams of cholesterol, 3840 milligrams of sodium, 122 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 60 grams of protein.

Last year, White Castle debuted turkey sliders. This year, they’re back, but they’ve gone through a few changes.

They still use patties made with Butterball turkeys and one of them still has a tangy bistro sauce, but the other two varieties from last year have been replaced with a slider that’s topped with apple butter and another one with spicy Dusseldorf mustard. If you’re like me, who doesn’t know what Dusseldorf mustard is, here’s something for you to read.

Now if you want something to accompany those turkey sliders, White Castle is also offering two seasonal sides. The chain’s Loaded Sweet Potato Fries feature fries topped with syrup, marshmallow creme, and cinnamon praline pecans. The Loaded Fried Green Beans are topped with white gravy and crispy onions.

If you’ve tried any of the sliders or sides, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

In August, Sonic introduced the Flavor Funnel, a dessert featuring ice cream mixed with candy or cookies that has a sweet core. For the holiday season, the chain is offering a festive version of the treat — the Holiday Pecan Pie Sonic Blast Flavor Funnel.

This seasonal variety is made up of real ice cream hand-mixed with brown sugar, real pecans, and shortbread cookie pieces that surround a chocolate core.

A small has 1130 calories, 64 grams of fat, 29 grams of saturated fat, 3 grams of trans fat, 145 milligrams of cholesterol, 920 milligrams of sodium, 129 grams of carbohydrates, 81 grams of sugar, 3 grams of fiber, and 14 grams of protein.

Sister chains Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s have rolled out another sandwich with an alcohol-flavored ingredient. This time they’ve teamed up with Anheuser-Busch to offer the Budweiser Beer Cheese Bacon Burger.

It follows the Midnight Moonshine Burger, Redhook Beer Battered Cod Fish Sandwich, and Kentucky Bourbon Burger on what should be called Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s Bar Sandwich Crawl.

The new burger features a charbroiled, grass-fed, all-natural beef patty (or a Black Angus patty) with thick-cut Applewood-smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, and a Budweiser beer cheese sauce on a brioche-style premium bun. The beer-flavored ingredient is a creamy cheddar cheese sauce blended with the classic taste of America’s No. 1 full-flavored lager.

Budweiser Beer Cheese Fries is also being offered at participating locations. It’s made up of fries topped with the same beer cheese sauce and crumbled bacon.

A Carl’s Jr. Budweiser Beer Cheese Bacon Burger with an all-natural patty has 710 calories, 38 grams of fat, 16 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 85 milligrams of cholesterol, 1430 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugar, and 40 grams of protein.

For a very limited time, at very few participating locations in popular hunting markets, Arby’s will be offering a venison sandwich.

It’ll feature a thick-cut venison steak, crispy onions, and a juniper berry sauce on a toasted specialty roll. The venison is marinated in garlic, salt and pepper and then cooked for three hours. The juniper berry sauce is a Cabernet steak sauce infused with juniper berries.

Starting in early November, the Venison Sandwich will be offered at 17 Arby’s location in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia. Restaurant locations and dates available are:
