I’m trying to think of a better food to throw down while watching your favorite sports team…I’ll get back to you guys when I find one. Until then, KFC comes at you with these awesome Honey BBQ Wings, marinated in peppers, coated in seasoning and then glazed in some tantalizing honey BBQ sauce. Grab 7 of these wings for $3.99 or step your game up to a bucket of 20. To help promote these badboys, KFC is also teaming up with the NFL (as the “Official Wing Sponsor”) to give away a trip to the big game a month or so away, read up more here.

Last month we busted out some news that Sonic would be implementing an awesome new $1 value menu in early January. Can’t get much earlier than January 1st, as the fine folks at Sonic introduce a plethora of new items ready and waiting for you to consume, without breaking your bank. Some of the fine choices you can expect are listed below:

• Small Tots or Fries
• Small Famous Slush or Soft Drink
• Jr. Candy Sundae (M&M’s, Oreo, Butterfinger or Reese’s)
• Vanilla Cone
• Fresh Banana
• Jr. Fritos Chili Cheese Wrap
• Chicken Strip Sandwich
• Jr. Deluxe Burger
• Jr. Breakfast Burrito

Eat on!

It’s always nice to start off the new year with some free food! On January 1st, 2009, any Chick-fil-A purchase between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. will result in you getting a FREE chicken biscuit on your next visit. Chick-fil-A is taking some time out of their year to remind you that their chicken-for-breakfast sandwiches are often imitated, but never duplicated. Find a Chick-fil-A near you, and eat on!

For a limited time only, Jack in the Box is bringing some menu favorites together for your eating pleasure. For $2.99, enjoy two tacos, small order of fries and the Jumbo Jack. Jumbo Deal. Eat on!

Taco Bell went back to the laboratory on this old school restaurant favorite. For a limited time only, the heads over at T-Bell have pumped out this amazing new “Bacon Cheddar Gordita Crunch”. Some of that famous double-decker style taco with southwest cheddar sauce, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese on a toasty warm flat bread. This Gordita spin off comes loaded with sauce, ground beef, lettuce and nice pieces of bacon. If you’re interested in some nutritional makeup, each taco will set you back 600 calories, total 37 grams of fat (12 of which are saturated, 1 of them is trans fat), 1120 mgs of sodium, 40 gms carbohydrates and for the jocks, 27 grams of protein. Eat on!

Ruby Tuesday Inc. has made public the information that it would be closing 40 locations during its third quarter (February), and an addition 30 units during the “next several years”. These closures would total almost 10% of its domestic locations. The closures most likely come from sluggish sales and increased renovation costs in their efforts to rejuvenate their dining experiences. Whenever a restaurant closes, it definitely is a sad day in the Foodbeast world. Regardless, keep your heads up and do your best to eat on.

SPAM. At Burger King. You heard it, the famous canned-meat SPAM. Right now, it’s only at Hawaii Burger King locations, but if you opt for some SPAM in the morning (looks to be only until 10 a.m.), you can get it as part of a SPAM platter with eggs and rice, or as part of a CROISSAN’WICH. Make sure to catch the commercial after the jump:

These guys are awesome, not only cause their food is good, but because they were of the first restaurants to contact us when we first opened, asking to be mentioned on Foodbeast. Sure enough, when we went to go check out one of their locations, we had nothing but good times, good food and good drinks…so when we heard that they were opening up a location a little closer to HQ, in Santa Ana, CA, we had to share the good news! It’s slated to open in the same shopping center as the Chipotle Mexican Grill we just announced minutes ago. See you there when it opens, eat on! (Thx NancyLuna)

In January of 2009, Chipotle will be opening doors to its 15th location in the East Santa Ana strip center. This Chipotle will apparently be opening up next door to a Baja Fresh Mexican Grill, the competition will truly be interesting…but in my opinion, Baja Fresh is a different eatery, offerring many different things…but to each his own, eat on! (Thx NancyLuna)

In the rare initiative to promote a latenight menu, Denny’s has allowed, once again, 4 select bands to be a part of 4 new menu additions to Denny’s latenight menu. I can’t lie, I’m very excited about these menu items. Let’s start with the oh-so-sexy Katy Perry and her addition, the “The Hot N Cold Cherry Chocolate Cappuccino”, consisting of: vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, French vanilla cappuccino and whipped cream with a cherry on top. The dudes from Boys Like Girls were inspired by their single, “The Great Escape” to create “The Great Eggsteak”! This interesting sandwich relooks the classic roast beef sandwich by adding peppers, onions, pepper jack cheese, scrambled egg and spicy mayonnaise all sitting between two sourdough bread buns, served with a side of hash browns. The rock band from my youth, Hoobastank, combined two of their favorite foods for this awesome post-concert meal, the “Hooburrito,” a hybrid BBQ chicken pizza and burrito. The burrito is filled to the brim with crispy chicken strips, pepper jack cheese and onion crispers all wrapped in a warm tortilla, served beside a bed of tortilla chips, cheese sauce and ranch. The final addition comes from the rock group Taking Back Sunday as they present their “Taking Back Sunday’s Melty Grilled Chicken and Sausage Quesadilla,” consisting of chicken breast, sausage, American cheese, grilled peppers and onions, pico de gallo and a cilantro-lime ranch sauce, all piled into a large flour tortilla. Rock out with your cock out after your late-night partying with this hefty new menu, eat on!
