Flatbreads are growing to be pretty popular in the fast food business. Quizno’s, Dunkin Donut’s, and Subway have all deuted their own versions and now Long John Silver’s has come out with their own rendition: the Ultimate Flatbread. It comes two ways, either with shrimp or fish. The crispy fried seafood is stuffed into a pita and is accompanied by cheese, shredded lettuce, and a mysterious orange sauce, similar to the flat bread sandwiches that Jack in the Box came out with a few back.

Just caught a commercial for these bad boys. Footlong Hot Dogs from Wienerschnitzel. You can snag these in three styles: Chili Cheese Dog, Stadium Dog and BBQ Bacon Dog. Chili Cheese has famous Wienerschnitzel chili and two slices of American cheese. The Stadium Dog has classic fixins: Lots of relish, diced onion, ketchup and mustard. BBQ Bacon comes with BBQ sauce, strips of bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Available for a limited time only.

Save water, and live like a “baller”. These eco-friendly pollution-free reusable base rocks are mighty easy to use. Throw them in the freezer for an hour, take them out, throw them in your drink and it’ll keep your liquid chill just like your ice would…except your content levels won’t be out of whack during the consumption period (I know how that messed with some people’s thought process). You can pick up a 10 pack of rocks and get a sexy-sleek carrying pouch over at the Mocha shop. Now, you can literally keep your drank “on the rocks”.

According to Alaskan news outlet ADN, “Sunshine Express is a sparkling, tricked-out kitchen on wheels currently parked at Old Seward Highway and 56th Avenue, between Dowling and International Airport roads.” These guys were apparently boasting a three pound hamburger, and the word is, next time this kitchen rolls around, we may be graced with an even larger, 4 lb. burger! Stay tuned!

Unfortunately, it’s not all fun and games in the food world. Aspiring chef Andrew Lee recently passed away in his sleep after a crazy chili sauce cook off between himself and his girlfriend’s brother. The chillies were grown especially for Andrew, specifically for this home event. Following the event, Andrew complained of itching before going to bed…and sure enough, woke up unconscious the following morning.  He was pronounced dead a few hours later. Our condolences to Andrew’s family and all those effected. Food can’t always be a game, but, eat on! (Thx MailOnline)

KROQ 106.7, Southern California’s premiere rock radio station (and where I get my daily fix of Kevin and Bean on my morning commute) is putting on a mighty interesting contest for the local Orange County cities. In collaboration with Del Taco restaurants in the area, KROQ is giving away their new stickers and holding various food related contests. On the back of one sticker will be a code that can be entered via the KROQ website for the possibility of winning FREE access to KROQ concerts all year (2009) and a brand new motor vehicle!

Five years ago Hardee’s made a splash by introducing 1/3 lb. and 1/2 lb 100% Black Angus Beef Thickburgers. Now, after raising the bar for the quality of a fast-food hamburger, Hardee’s is introducing their signature Thickburger in a smaller package. It’s the perfect fit for burger lovers who crave big taste but don’t have such a big appetite.

The Little Thickburger is made with a quarter pound, charbroiled, 100% Angus Black Angus Beef Patty, and available in two styles, both of which are served on a grilled sesame seed bun:

• with all the fixins, topped with fresh diced red onions, whole lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, dill pickles, cheese and condiments
• or old school with cheese, diced onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard

The Little Thickburgers start at $1.99 and are available at all locations. Hardee’s has also rolled out a line of ads showing off the Little Thickburger side-by-side with its big brother, the Original 1/3 lb. Thickburger. Keep reading to check ‘em out.

The title of this post and the simple picture speaks so loudly, I was severely tempted to not even post a blurb about it like i’m doing now. All I’ll mention is that you can pick it up at participating Hardee’s restaurants for roughly $2.99. (Thx Hardee’s, FastFoodFever)
