As part of its month-long Baconfest promotion, Wendy’s has served up the new Bacon Jalapeno Cheeseburger and Jalapeno Bacon Cheese Fries. Although, to be honest, with the way Wendy’s slings its Applewood-smoked bacon onto its products, it seems like it’s ALWAYS Baconfest to Wendy’s.

The cheeseburger features a 1/4 lb. of fresh beef topped with pickled jalapenos, Applewood-smoked bacon slices, American cheese, crispy fried onions, a savory cheese sauce, and a smoky jalapeno sauce. It’s also available as a Double and Triple. The spicy cheeseburger has 750 calories, 49 grams of fat, 17 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 gram of trans fat, 120 milligrams of cholesterol, 1650 milligrams of sodium, 44 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 36 grams of protein.

Wendy’s Jalapeno Bacon Cheese Fries are just the shredded cheddar, Applewood-smoked bacon, cheddar cheese sauce, and natural cut sea salt fries you’d find with the chain’s Baconator Fries, but with jalapenos. The side has 570 calories, 36 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 45 milligrams of cholesterol, 1310 milligrams of sodium, 47 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, and 15 grams of protein.

Do fast food chains know the U.S. is in the middle of the hottest months of the year? I’m not sure they do because they keep releasing products that can burn out mouths. So far it’s been Sonic Reaper pepper slushes, Taco Bell Reaper pepper sauce coated fries, and now Panda Express’ Sichuan Hot Chicken.

The menu item features breaded all-white meat chicken tossed in a spicy, Sichuan-inspired sauce and topped with a sprinkle of a spice blend. The entree first made its appearance as a test item late last year.

Sichuan Hot Chicken is available for a limited time at participating locations.

A serving has 400 calories 26 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 45 milligrams of cholesterol, 910 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 19 grams of protein.

Krispy Kreme is turning 82 years old and I imagine it will celebrating the occasion by dining on the early bird specials at an Olive Garden. Okay, maybe not, but I know for sure it’s honoring its birthday with the new Original Filled Birthday Batter Doughnut.

The treat features an Original Glazed Doughnut filled with birthday cake batter that’s dipped in strawberry icing and topped with party sprinkles. It is available for one week beginning today, Monday, July 15 until Sunday, July 21 at participating locations. Click here to see a list of participating shops.

It appears this summer is shaping up to be the fast food coming out party for one of the world’s hottest peppers — the Carolina Reaper.

Sonic has its Reaper Spicy Margarita and now Taco Bell has Steak Reaper Ranch Fries, available as loaded fries or in a burrito form.

Steak Reaper Ranch Fries Supreme features marinated grilled steak, nacho cheese sauce, reduced fat sour cream, tomatoes, and reaper ranch sauce on a serving of Nacho Fries. The burrito version has everything the loaded fries has except it’s all wrapped in a tortilla.

Steak Reaper Ranch Fries Supreme has 470 calories, 29 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 950 milligrams of sodium, 39 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar, and 12 grams of protein.

The burrito has 490 calories, 24 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 1060 milligrams of sodium, 53 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 16 grams of protein.

Both are available for a limited time at participating locations.

Burger King is now selling tacos nationwide. That is not typo. And, it’s selling them for $1 each. That is also not a typo.

BK’s Crispy Taco features a crunchy tortilla stuffed with seasoned beef, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, and a savory taco sauce. They’re similar to what Jack in the Box offers in that the whole thing is deep fried. Yes, that sounds awful and I wasn’t a fan of Jack’s tacos at first, but I have joined the cult of Jack in the Box taco fans.

The taco has 170 calories, 9 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 360 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 1 gram of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

Technically, it’s not a new product. It appears it’s been available at some West Coast locations for a while.

Burger King’s Crispy Tacos are available for a limited time. Price and participation may vary.
