Here are five recent fast food news bites:

YEE-HAW! Burger King has a inexpensive Rodeo Burger and an equally as inexpensive Rodeo Chicken Sandwich. (via Burger King)

Jack in the Box’s new healthier-for-you breakfast sandwich, the Egg White & Turkey Sandwich, has just 248 calories, six grams of fat, and a tomato. (via Business Wire)

Also, Jack in the Box now has sweet potato fries, but not just any sweet potato fries. We’re talking crisscut sweet potato fries. (via Jack in the Box)

Start your New Year right with 99 cent corn dogs at Wienerschnitzel. Oh wait, did I say, “start your New Year right”? I meant to say break all your New Year’s resolutions to lose weight with 99 cent corn dogs at Wienerschnitzel. (via Wienerschnitzel’s Facebook Page)

Just the words “Krispy Kreme cheesecake doughtnuts” give me a heavy feeling in my stomach. (via Grub Grade)

QUICK REVIEW: Tostitos Fajita Scoops Tortilla Chips

/ / Reviews / 4 Comments

Tostitos Fajita Scoops

Purchased Price: $2.98
Size: 9 oz. bag
Purchased at: Walmart
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Nice smoky aroma. Its garlicky, oniony, and peppery flavor reminds me of a canned chili (I can’t remember what brand). Most flavorful Tostitos I’ve ever had. Shape makes them great for dips. Red peppers in the chip. Some chips have a kick (thanks jalapeño). The Asian in me is excited about the soy sauce used to make them (I can kind of taste it, but it might be my mind thinking it’s there because I know it’s there).
Cons: Not all the chips in the bag have a kick to them. The flavor noticeably diminished as I ate more in one sitting. Being too cheap to buy dip. The exclamation point after Scoops. Shape makes them look like they would make good pasties, but rough corn chip texture would be tough on nipples.

QUICK REVIEW: MorningStar Farms Baja Black Bean Pizza

/ / Reviews / 1 Comment

MorningStar Farms Baja Black Bean Pizza

Purchased Price: $4.49
Size: 5.65 oz.
Purchased at: Safeway
Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Very tasty, thanks to the slightly spicy Baja chile sauce which reminds me of a Taco Bell sauce (not the sauces in packets). Lots of fire-roasted corn, which added flavor, and black beans, which didn’t add flavor. Whole grain crust was mostly crispy, thanks to the crisping tray. Awesome source of fiber and good source of protein. Pizza was six inches in diameter, but was filling to me. 100% vegetarian.
Cons: Pricey. Corn and black beans not arranged to make a smiley face. Should’ve had more tomatoes. Waiting 16-17 minutes for a small pizza in a conventional oven (thank goodness for the crisping tray). Cheese didn’t have much flavor. I’m surprised it doesn’t have any of the fake meat MorningStar Farms produces.
