Visually, I think this is a bit disgusting. We’re looking at two burger patties topped with an extremely oversized layer of cheddar cheese. Game changer? I’m going to guess, no. I’ll let you guys decide though! (PicThx TIWYF)

In the spirit of the season where food establishments everywhere bring to the plate entrees featuring new fish items, Panda Express is no exception. With the introduction of a new Honey Walnut Shrimp, we get to taste afresh tempura shrimp that’s wok-tossed in a gourmet honey sauce and further topped with glazed walnuts. Advertised as a nice combination of “sweet and crispy”. Can’t lie, does sound pretty tempting!

We knew it was in testing, but now the day has come, Taco Bell has officially dropped a fish alternative onto their menu in the form of the Pacific Shrimp Taco. Comes in a soft flour tortilla with six shrimp marinated in a mix of spices, topped with crisp shredded lettuce, Fiesta Salsa and Avocado Ranch Sauce. Of course, just in time for Lent season, and when consumed only adds 180 calories, 7 grams of fat, 21 grams of carbs, 660 mg of sodium and 8 grams of protein to your diet. If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think!

I call this particular creation “fan art” because it has no where near the poignancy of its original inspiration we posted about a few weeks ago, but it definitely is a valiant effort and a reasonably interesting jump-off with some new additions. While the website that posted this one is in a language I don’t speak or read, the only information I can pull is from the pictures. If you don’t remember, the original was made from handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in a bacon weave and accented with hot dogs as the body parts. This new recreation of the original seems to be complete with potato and zucchini wedges and meatballs for garnish, in case there’s not enough meat in the turtle the first time around. Kudos!

With a suggested retail price of $2.99, Dunkin’ Donuts became the first national quick service restaurant chain to serve a breakfast sandwich featuring waffles during spring of last year.  Now, for a limited time, DD is bringing back the oven-toasted sandwich which features scrambled eggs, sausage and American cheese between two maple-infused waffles.
