Wingstop Hot Honey Trio
Wingstop is expanding its popular hot honey offerings with a trio of new flavors: Hot Honey Rub, Saucy Sriracha Hot Honey, and Sweet Garlic Hot Honey. “Hot Honey fans are passionate, and we wanted to give them more ways to indulge,” said Michael Skipworth, President and CEO of Wingstop. “Here’s our official apology – we’re sorry that choosing your favorite hot honey just got harder. The good news is, at Wingstop, you don’t have to choose.”
Jack In the Box Chicken Supreme
Jack In the Box is bringing back a fan favorite: the Chicken Supreme, originally launched in 1980 and discontinued in 2004. One Redditor described it as having a “wheaty bun, Swiss cheese, Monterey jack cheese, onion mayo, lettuce, tomato, chicken.”
Sonic All-American Smasher
Sonic’s new All-American Smasher features two Angus beef patties seared for crispy edges, topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, and mayo on a potato bun. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is partnering with Sonic to promote the new burger.
