Maggiano’s Little Italy is not screwing around when it comes to its new cocktail lineup, which has dramatic presentations, and premium ingredients.
Does its new lineup mean that smoked cocktails have jumped the shark?
Who knows? But soft-drink specialist Fiiz doesn’t think that Shark Week has, and it’s celebrating the odd holiday with a special beverage.
Speaking of drinks, there are new aguas frescas at Tender Greens and Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, and also new beverages at Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings, Farmer Boys and Mooyah, which is one of two chains to add Nerds candy to its lineup (the other is Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard).
Burger King has a new spicy drink, which is interesting, as part of its whole new Fiery lineup.
Blaze Pizza has its first baked dessert, and there are also new sweet treats at Chip City Cookies, Insomnia Cookies, Wetzel’s Pretzels, and Zaxby’s.
There are new loaded fries at Lion’s Choice and Walk-On’s, and new burgers, besides those at Burger King, at Perkins, Next Level Burger, Farmer Boys, Hooters, Pincho (which also has new fries), and Tender Greens.
Fazoli’s has new manicotti dishes, The Halal Guys have Chicken Wings, and Dog Haus has a new beefy hot dog with jalapeño peppers, and also a burrito.
Roy Rogers has chicken & waffles and Salata has watermelon.
Subway has a new lineup of subs, Toppers Pizza has pies with pickles on them, Potbelly turned one of its salads into a sandwich, and Slutty Vegan has a meatless version of brisket.
Newk’s Eatery and Dig both have seasonal specials, and Velvet Taco’s Weekly Taco Feature is, for the second time, developed with the help of ChatGPT.
