It turns out that Dunn Brothers does have a bunch of pumpkin items for the season, although last week we said they didn’t seem to.
So do Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, Cinnaholic, Dairy Queen, IHOP, Juice it up!, Next Level Burger and Veggie Grill by Next Level, Paris Baguette, Perkins Restaurant & Bakery, Playa Bowls, and Salata Salad Kitchen.
But pumpkin’s not the only thing going on these days. Taylor Swift is on tour, and Ruby Slipper has a cocktail flight in her honor.
And its Oktoberfest, too. You might think that would start in October, but it doesn’t, and the occasion is being marked by, Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and Burgerville, but not by World of Beer (which, if memory serves, didn’t do anything for Oktoberfest last year, either), but it does have new items loosely associated with football.
Also, Sizzler has announced the return of Cheese Toast Month. Why not?
Taco Bell’s Baja Blast Gelato has been much anticipated in some circles, and their wait is over. Others apparently greatly missed &Pizza’s Farmer’s Daughter pie, which is returning next week.
Bruster’s Real Ice Cream has apple treats, and HTeaO has a drink called the Dirty Chai Apple Crisp.
Voodoo Doughnut has a Dirty Chai Doughnut
Krispy Kreme is celebrating the 65th anniversary of Barbie, and Handel’s has ice cream inspired by the PB&J
There are new sauces at Old Chicago and Panda Express, and a new wing seasoning at Golden Chick.
McDonald’s is trying out smaller McFlurry treats in smaller packaging, and 7-Eleven has a new Slurpee that combines Coca-Cola and Oreo cookies.
There are a bunch of new items from Dave & Buster’s, Wings Etc., Fogo de Chão, and Mendocino Farms, and Naf Naf Grill has new meatballs.
Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes has new fries and shakes, but apparently no new burgers.
The fries, incidentally, are made with sweet potatoes and come with vanilla ice cream, which is interesting, particularly since you can get regular fries basically as part of a sundae at Friendly’s.
Wayback Burgers does have a new burger, fries, and shake.
Moe’s Southwest Grill is letting customers add Cheez-Its to whatever they want for free, and Huddle House has waffle tacos.
Layne’s Chicken Fingers now has chicken wraps, Beyond Juicery & Eatery has breakfast burritos, and The Flying Biscuit Café has a burger bowl.
There are all sorts of new drinks at Krak Boba, and Velvet Taco’s Weekly Taco Feature has fried green tomatoes and shrimp.
