FAST FOOD NEWS: The Del Taco from Del Taco

Marvo 1 Comment

Del Taco The Del Taco

Del Taco’s newest menu item is The Del Taco, which, let’s be honest, doesn’t look new. I mean, it looks like a regular taco. But The Del Taco has more seasoned beef and more freshly grated cheddar cheese than the previous taco from Del Taco. The new taco also comes with lettuce and chopped tomatoes in a bigger, crunchier corn shell.

The new taco is available for $1.39 and the chain also offers to substitute seasoned turkey, which has 33 percent less fat than their seasoned beef, at no additional charge.

The Del Taco (crunchy version) has 300 calories, 18 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 70 milligrams of cholesterol, 560 milligrams of sodium, 14 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 19 grams of protein.

Church s Smokehouse Half Chicken

Church’s Chicken is known for its hand-battered, fried chicken. But the chicken chain stepped out of its comfort zone to offer the new Naked Smokehouse Half Chicken.

It features a chicken half with white breast and tender dark meat that’s been marinated in smoky spices. Instead of batter or breading, a spice rub is applied to the chicken’s skin. A half-chicken portion with Church’s signature Honey-Butter Biscuit starts at $3.99. The menu item will be available through July 31 or while supplies last at participating locations.

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

The internet tells me that Sunkist Lemonade used to exist or has been available in other countries. The internet also tells me this reappeared about the same time as Beyonce’s Lemonade. Just kidding. But it would’ve been cool if it did. (Spotted by Christopher G at Food City.)

Boston Market is no stranger to smothering. It’s smothered turkey, smothered beef, and probably smothered its children. (Spotted by Amanda Y at Walmart.)

I’ve never seen Tennessee Pride here on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so I guess I’ll never “Taste the Pride.” (Spotted by Amanda Y at Walmart.)

Should I drink this warm in order to match the temperature of actual bananas foster? (Spotted by Erika V at Mathernes Market.)
