Burger King has a new deal that requires customers to go to McDonald’s.

On Tuesday, the fast-food chain announced that it is “turning more than 14,000 McDonald’s into Burger King restaurants.”

In fact, Burger King is debuting a McDonald’s-themed deal. If customers go within 600 feet of a McDonald’s location, they can order a Whopper for one cent via the revamped Burger King app.

“If a guest is inside one of these geofenced areas and has the new BK App on their device, the app will unlock the Whopper sandwich for a penny promotion,” Burger King said in a press release. “Once the 1¢ Whopper sandwich order is placed, the user will be ‘detoured’ away from McDonald’s, as the app navigates them to the nearest Burger King restaurant for pick up.”

Midwest bar chain changing name of popular “Crack Fries”




A few days after Munchies writer Hillary Pollack released an essay stating “Snack Foods Are Not Crack, and It’s Not Cute to Compare Them,” because branding comparing “gourmet foods to hard drugs makes light of the real impact of addiction and the War on Drugs,” Hopcat announces that it’s changing the name of Crack Fries. A post on the chain’s website explains:


We chose the name more than 11 years ago as a reference to the addictive quality of the fries and their cracked pepper seasoning, without consideration for those the drug negatively affected. We were wrong.

What's lurking in your stadium food?


ESPN's Outside the Lines reviewed food-safety inspection reports for all 111 North American pro sports venues. Find your stadium and see how it fared.

About the project


ESPN's Outside the Lines reviewed and collected more than 16,000 food-safety inspection reports from health departments that monitor the 111 professional football, baseball, basketball and hockey facilities across North America. The review of routine inspection reports from 2016 and 2017 found that at about 28 percent of the venues, half or more of the food service outlets incurred a high-level violation -- one that poses a potential threat for foodborne illness. Outside the Lines also calculated the average number of high-level violations per inspection at each venue, and compared that to the average for restaurants and other food outlets in the surrounding area, for the 82 venues for which we had community data provided by Hazel Analytics. Find your favorite stadium to determine how many high-level violations were found, how the stadium's inspection results compare to other eateries in the surrounding community, and notable samples of our findings. Read the full story.

KFC assumes you’re interested in purchasing this fried chicken-scented firelog


“Back in my day,” your grandpa begins wheezily, “If we wanted fried chicken-smellin’ fires, we had to throw the chicken on the flames ourselves.”

He’s right, friends, but that hardship ends today, as KFC introduces a firelog that smells like the Colonel’s 11-herbs-and-spices fried chicken, made in partnership with Enviro-Log. For $18.99 (shipping and handling and tax included!), you’ll receive a 5-pound log that can burn for 2.5-3 hours.
