]]> St. Patrick’s Day is being celebrated on March 17, and the world’s leading fast food chains couldn’t resist joining in the fun. They’re honoring the patron saint of Ireland with countless delicious special deals, and here are five that will bring the Luck of the Irish to your life.

Burger King

Burger King prepared a special deal for their customers on March 17 – a free order of onion rings with a purchase of at least $1, which can be activated through the Burger King app.

McDonald’s

St. Patrick’s Day at McDonald’s would be incomplete without their iconic festive drink, Shamrock Shake, a mint-flavored milkshake that’s been around for decades.

Dairy Queen

Dairy Queen is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with the launch of Mint Oreo Blizzard – a delicious soft serve filled with Oreo cookie pieces and a cool mint topping.

Panera

Panera is putting a twist on its beloved Mac & Cheese bread bowls by introducing a shamrock green version on March 17, with a festive name “the Pot of Gold”.

Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme prepared one of the best St. Patrick’s Day deals we’ve seen this year. They’re putting a unique spin on the beloved Irish holiday with four new flavors – the Pot of Gold Doughnut, Over the Rainbow Doughnut, Choco-Shenanigans Doughnut, and St. Patty’s Swirl Doughnut.

]]> More people are trying to embrace a vegan lifestyle as the years go by, and the major fast-food chains are keeping up with this trend. You can find plant-based options at pretty much every fast-food franchise these days, and we’re here to help you decide if eating them is a good idea.

Cooking Process

Despite containing plant-based ingredients, vegan fast foods usually aren’t that healthy because the cooking process still involves deep-frying, thus upping their calorie, fat, and sodium content.

Cross-Contamination

Cross-contamination is one of the biggest problems concerning vegan fast food. Unless it’s prepared separately from other foods, it’s highly likely it will come into contact with non-vegan ingredients.

Limited Offering

Fast-food restaurants are still new players in the plant-based game. You won’t have too many vegan options to choose from, so it’s best to go to restaurants that specialize in authentic plant-based cuisine.

Animal Cruelty

If you’re “vegan for the animals,” you might want to avoid vegan fast food for ethical reasons. Despite offering plant-based options, major fast-food chains still significantly contribute to animal cruelty.

Sending Good Message

Vegan fast food might have its downsides, but it’s not all that bad. Its rising popularity may inspire fast-food restaurants to offer more vegan options and introduce better practices during the preparation process.

]]> Are you someone who eats a lot of fast food? We don’t blame you because it’s pretty common around our society, and it is pretty addicting as well. We’re sure that you’ve been told once or twice how unhealthy fast food is, but have you ever wondered why it’s so unhealthy? Here’s why fast food is so bad for you and why you shouldn’t eat it as much.

Calories and Fat

The first thing that needs to be mentioned is how fast food is loaded with calories, unhealthy fats, and sugar. The combination of these three things makes fast food one of the most unhealthy things you can eat. Too many calories can lead to weight gain, and too much sugar will raise your cholesterol. All of these things combined can lead to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and much more.

Not Many Nutrients

Fast food isn’t just unhealthy because of what it has—it’s unhealthy for what it doesn’t have either. There’s a shockingly low nutrient density when it comes to fast food, sorely lacking in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Processed Ingredients

To make matters even worse, if possible, there are so many processed ingredients in fast food, from preservatives to artificial flavors and colors.

Taco Bell

The home of convenient Mexican fusion cuisine, Taco Bell actually has its fair share of gluten-free options. In addition to the scrumptious Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco, you can also try some of its Power Menu Bowls and Crunchy Tacos.

Chick-fil-A

What’s great about this fried chicken establishment is that it offers an array of gluten-free options. These include the Grilled Chicken Filet on a Gluten-Free Bun, providing you with the chicken and all the toppings you would normally enjoy.

McDonald’s

If you have a sweet tooth, then McDonald’s is home to numerous gluten-free desserts. This includes the world-famous McFlurry with M&M’s.

]]> Cheeseburgers are almost as American as the 4th of July, so it’s no surprise that there’s a National Cheeseburger Day! The auspicious holiday falls on September 18, with the day first being acknowledged ten years ago. 

The cheeseburger has come a long way from its experimental origins in Pasadena, California. Back in 1924, 16-year-old Lionel Sternberger was working at his father’s sandwich shop called The Rite Spot. It was there that he decided to try putting a slice of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger. The rest, as they say, is history!

These days, cheeseburgers have a variety of toppings and cheeses, and even come in double and triple versions! If all this talk has gotten your palate salivating, you’ll be pleased to know that well-known fast food chains are celebrating National Cheeseburger Day this year by offering specials. 

Wayback Burger

Having recently expanded to Japan, Wayback Burger is not forgetting its American roots. Those purchasing a classic burger through the app on September 18 will qualify for a “buy one, get one free”.

Smashburger

Smashburger is also embracing the “buy one, get one free” vibe. The chain is offering the deal to customers who use the promo code BOGO22 online and in-store. 

McDonald’s

No one makes more famous cheeseburgers than McDonald’s. You can get a free cheeseburger through the McDonald’s app with just a $1 minimum purchase.

]]> Listen, we get it. You might want to eat healthily, but you aren’t ready to give up Taco Bell. This delicious fast food option is addicting, but it isn’t always the best option for those that are looking to avoid unhealthy foods.

Fortunately, it isn’t impossible to eat healthy at the Bell! Here are some tips that will help you do so.

Order Your Food “Fresco-Style”

Fresco-style is a must-know for those that don’t want to break their diet at Taco Bell. Ordering any menu item fresco-style will take away fatty toppings like sour cream and cheese and replace them with healthy, veg-based pico de gallo.

The Power Menu is Your Friend

The Power Menu is Taco Bell’s attempt to cater to those that are looking to build muscle. It’s great, as it replaces fatty and carb-based toppings and sides like rice and cheese with proteins like beans and lean meats. There are plenty of options on this section of the menu.

Chicken is the Best Protein Option

If you want protein at Taco Bell, we recommend ordering the chicken. Chicken tacos and chicken burritos provide a lean protein-packed punch. Black beans are a good option too, but be sure to avoid the fatty refried beans which are often served.

The newly opened barbeque shop had some questionable items on its menu when it first opened, such as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and pie slices.

McDonald’s is the Biggest Toy Distributor

Thanks to Happy Meals that come with collectible toys, McDonald’s is the world’s largest toy distributor even though they’re primarily a food company.

]]> Have you ever heard of or tried a fast-food restaurant chain called “Jollibee” before?

After starting off in 1975 as a small fast food chain in Quezon City in the Philippines, this fast food joint has gone international and introduced parts of Filipino food to a worldwide audience.

Filipino food is an amalgamation of influences from all over the globe. The Philippines spent thousands of years as a relatively untouched group of islands in Southeast Asia before being occupied by Spain, the United States, and Japan in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The country gained its definitive independence in 1945, but the Spanish, American, and Japanese rules left their mark on the islands and on its cuisine. This fusion is reflected now on Jollibee’s menu.

One of the most popular items on its menu is ChickenJoy, which is the Filipino version of fried chicken. Served with a delicious gravy, this menu item might be the biggest hit at the chain.

A unique main dish offered by Jollibee is its “Jolly Spaghetti,” a crazy mish-mash of pasta, tomato sauce, and diced hot dogs. Looking for a unique dessert? Look no further than the famous Halo-Halo, which consists of ice cream, beans, flan, and fruit jelly.

Jollibee now has outputs across Asia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East, so be sure to give it a try if you have the chance.

This week, the restaurant is updating its menu with a new permanent side dish for the first time since 2016. The meal that met the cut? Mac and cheese.

The company shared a press release talking about their version of this classic comfort food that includes a blend of cheeses: cheddar, parmesan, and Romano. They will bake it fresh every day and serve for lunch and dinner. Mac and cheese became available at Chick-fil-A on August 12th, so you can already order and try it! It’s also on the kid’s menu and available in larger quantities for catering

“We have a very high bar when it comes to adding a menu item,” the company’s executive director Amanda Norris said in a statement, “but the feedback from our customers in the test markets made this decision easy.” It’s not surprising, given the popularity of this classic dish.

McDonald’s is the Biggest Toy Distributor

Thanks to Happy Meals that come with collectible toys, McDonald’s is the world’s largest toy distributor even though they’re primarily a food company.

Happy Meals Were Banned in San Francisco

In 2011, San Francisco prohibited McDonald’s to give out promotional toys with their Happy Meals, which only made the company start charging them 10 cents so they wouldn’t be free.

]]> Have you ever heard of or tried a fast-food restaurant chain called “Jollibee” before?

After starting off in 1975 as a small fast food chain in Quezon City in the Philippines, this fast food joint has gone international and introduced parts of Filipino food to a worldwide audience.

Filipino food is an amalgamation of influences from all over the globe. The Philippines spent thousands of years as a relatively untouched group of islands in Southeast Asia before being occupied by Spain, the United States, and Japan in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The country gained its definitive independence in 1945, but the Spanish, American, and Japanese rules left their mark on the islands and on its cuisine. This fusion is reflected now on Jollibee’s menu.

One of the most popular items on its menu is ChickenJoy, which is the Filipino version of fried chicken. Served with a delicious gravy, this menu item might be the biggest hit at the chain.

A unique main dish offered by Jollibee is its “Jolly Spaghetti,” a crazy mish-mash of pasta, tomato sauce, and diced hot dogs. Looking for a unique dessert? Look no further than the famous Halo-Halo, which consists of ice cream, beans, flan, and fruit jelly.

Jollibee now has outputs across Asia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East, so be sure to give it a try if you have the chance.

]]> The fast-food chain Chick-fil-A worked hard for years to build trust with customers. Among their best features are great customer service and a reliable menu that just got an update.

This week, the restaurant is updating its menu with a new permanent side dish for the first time since 2016. The meal that met the cut? Mac and cheese.

The company shared a press release talking about their version of this classic comfort food that includes a blend of cheeses: cheddar, parmesan, and Romano. They will bake it fresh every day and serve for lunch and dinner. Mac and cheese became available at Chick-fil-A on August 12th, so you can already order and try it! It’s also on the kid’s menu and available in larger quantities for catering

“We have a very high bar when it comes to adding a menu item,” the company’s executive director Amanda Norris said in a statement, “but the feedback from our customers in the test markets made this decision easy.” It’s not surprising, given the popularity of this classic dish.

]]> Picture the scene.

A couple goes out to a restaurant, sit down, receive menus, and decide what to order. They debate about the best option — well, the guy does; the girl says she is not hungry.

The guy orders his food — a classic burger and fries — only for his girlfriend to reach across the table and begin eating his precious golden julienne potatoes.

Sound familiar?

If it does, a restaurant in Arkansas now has your back.

Mama D’s Diner in Little Rock has included an item on its menu entitled “My Girlfriend is Not Hungry”.

For an extra $4.25 you can upgrade whatever you’ve ordered by adding extra fries, wings, or cheese sticks for your spouse.

Other restaurants which offer similar options are Tangled Hickory in Wisconsin, J-DUB in Oregon, The Hop Spot in New York, and One Night Stan’s in Calgary, Canada.

Menu add-ons — saving relationships one fry at a time.
