All things food—trendy or just downright delicious—are great. But sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the new food out there. To help you stay in the know, we’ve compiled a menu of five awesome things in food news that you need to be eating (or at least know about) today.
On the Menu
+ Baskin-Robbins is selling Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in ice cream form
+ NYC is getting a museum dedicated to pizza this fall
+ Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s is mixing up Jolly Ranchers in a new milkshake
+ Del Taco is bringing back carnitas, and dropping a new churro
+ New vanilla latte-flavored Mini Wheats are coming soon
Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Is Now an Ice Cream Flavor You Can Get at the Grocery Store
Ice cream is the natural next step after dinner, so why do fancy restaurants always ask if you want a coffee? The only coffee you need post-meal is this new coffee ice cream. Baskin-Robbins is turning three of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee flavors into scoopable frozen goodness. Pick up a 14 oz container of Coffee, Coffee Chocolate Chip, or French Vanilla Coffee ice cream next time you’re at the grocery store.
NYC Is Getting a Museum of Pizza—That Feels Right
New York City, home of some of the best pizza in the world, is getting its own museum dedicated to the pie. Introducing #MoPi. OK, the museum is more of a 6-day pop up, but still! The Museum of Pizza will be, according to its website, “a space to bask in multi-sensory, psychedelic pizza joy.” It will have meant-for-Instagram rooms like a pizza cave, pizza fun house, pizza beach, pizza games, and more. The pop-up will run from Oct. 23 – 28, but you can start getting tickets now.
Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s Are Mixing Up Jolly Rancher Milkshakes
Last November, Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s began testing out a Jolly Rancher Milkshake in Los Angeles and Birmingham, AL. But now, according to Delish, this baby is available nationwide. The milkshake mixes vanilla ice cream with bits of the Jolly Rancher hard candy, and is topped with whipped cream and MORE candy. Although its flavor profile is a bit ridiculous, consider this a muted version compared to OTT freakshakes.
Del Taco Is Bringing Back Carnitas, and a New Caramel Creme Churro
Del Taco is bringing back its carnitas. According to Brand Eating, the braised and shredded pork is available now through the end of the summer. Try it in a Carnitas Combo Burrito, a Carnitas Wet Burrito Plato, a Carnitas Street Taco Plato, an Epic Carnitas Burrito, or on Carnitas Loaded Fries. Right now, you can get two combo burritos for $5. Del Taco is also releasing a new stuffed with caramel creme. Go for the carnitas, or at the least, get a churro to go.
Vanilla Latte Mini Wheats Are Coming Soon
Remember when you used to bite just the frosting off the Frosted Mini Wheats as a kid? Of course you do, because that’s the best part. Well, get ready to do that with new Vanilla Latte Mini Wheats. According to @candyhunting on Instagram, the new cereal will be out soon. Stay tuned for more details, like a more offish launch date.
