For a limited time, starting on Monday, July 2, Dunkin’ Donuts will offer the next evolution in donut eating — Donut Fries.
The snack features individual pieces of buttery croissant style donut dough that’s tossed in cinnamon sugar and served warm with just the right amount of crisp. Sadly, no donut dipping sauce is included. An order of Donut Fries comes with five pieces and will be sold at a special price of $2.
Five Donut Fries have 240 calories, 14 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 220 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.
In less exciting Dunkin’ Donuts news, it’s also releasing on July 2 a Brown Sugar Cold Brew Coffee, the Chocolate Coconutty Donut (coconut creme filling, chocolate icing, and topped with shortbread cookie pieces), and the Shark Bite Donut (white icing and shark-shaped sprinkles).

Budweiser is the King of Beers, but it’s also become the King of Partnering Up With Fast Food Chains To Offer A Special Burger.
About two years ago, the beer brand teamed up with Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. to offer the Budweiser Beer Cheese Bacon Burger. And now it’s joined Burger King to unleash the American Brewhouse King.
They even remade the classic “Whassup” Budweiser commercial. So get ready for that catchphrase to start ringing in your ear again!
The burger features two flame-grilled beef patties, three half-strips of thick-cut smoked bacon, crispy onions, tavern sauce (which, I guess, is where the Budweiser comes into play), American cheese, and mayonnaise on a sesame seed bun.
Burger King’s American Brewhouse King is available for a limited time at participating restaurants.
It has 1550 calories, 126 grams of fat, 47 grams of saturated fat, 8 grams of trans fat, 805 milligrams of cholesterol, 1820 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 134 grams of protein.

If there’s one thing that’s been consistent with all the flavors KFC has released over the past few years, it’s the pickles.
Nashville Hot…topped with pickles.
Georgia Gold…pickles.
Smoky Mountain BBQ…yup, pickles.
However, with those three, the pickles weren’t the focus. But now the brined vegetable gets to be the headliner with KFC’s new Pickle Fried Chicken.
The main component of the dish is a sauce that’s made with dill, vinegar, onion, garlic, buttermilk, and white and black pepper. Patrons can get it with the chain’s Extra Crispy Chicken or with the Crispy Colonel Sandwich. And, of course, it comes with pickles.
KFC’s Pickle Fried Chicken is available for a very limited time. How limited? According to the chicken chain, each restaurant will receive enough ingredients to make the menu item for just a few weeks.
