2022 was an fascinating yr. The nation just about opened again up however provide chain points and different elements result in a notable sputtering of the everyday movement of latest quick meals gadgets. Nonetheless, listed here are the high 5 new quick meals gadgets I attempted in 2022 (in alphabetical order):
– Popeyes Blackened Hen Sandwich – I actually like their Blackened Tenders so getting the identical taste in a thicker, juicy filet served on a bun is likely to be even a little bit higher.
– Popeyes Wildberry Beignets – I like beignets typically (as a result of they’re mainly fresh-fried donuts) however they don’t seem to be too handy to get round right here (Disneyland is not all that shut), so I am fairly satisfied at any time when Popeyes provides them (new selection or not).
– Taco Bell Loaded Truff Nacho Fries – I didn’t anticipate to love these as a lot as I did. The one new factor was the Truff sauce however it added a great deal of nuance and complexity to an in any other case very acquainted set of elements.
– Wendy’s French Toast Sticks – These hit my examine bins for French toast: Crisp on the surface and moist and custardy on the within. It sounds easy however it’s not all that straightforward to realize.
– Wendy’s Garlic Fries – Whereas my specific batch was hit a bit too heavy with the salt gun, the garlic and herb sauce was tasty and the feel of the fries held up.
