All things food—trendy or just downright delicious—are great. But sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the food news out there. To help you stay in the know, here are the five new foods that you need to get your hands on today.
Red Lobster Is Now Serving Crispy Lobster & Waffles, and What Was Brunch Like Before This Again?
Chicken and waffles work because of their sweet and salty combo. But what if that fried chicken was substituted for buttery fried lobster? Yes, it's happening. As part of their annual Lobsterfest, Red Lobster is changing the brunch game forever and serving up fried lobster on a waffle version of their cheddar bay biscuit (!!!). You can top it with maple syrup, or keep it savory and ask for a side of butter.
Get the Crispy Lobster and Waffles for around $20 (depending on lobster's market price) starting today for a limited time, along with Red Lobster's other Lobsterfest specials (like lobster mac and cheese, okurrr).
Chrissy Teigen Thinks All Ranch Dressing Needs to Be Made With Buttermilk
The queen has spoken—we need a way to define wtf ranch dressing even is. Chrissy Teigen took to Twitter this past weekend to vent her frustrations over the matter, and I have to say, her points are valid. When ordering at a restaurant or purchasing a new bottle of creamy dressing, you need to know what you're getting into.
Taran Killam, a former cast member of the "Amanda Show" and "Saturday Night Live," responded to her tweet, "But would we then differentiate between 'Ranch' and 'Buttermilk Dressing?'" In which Chrissy responded, "No I think all ranch should be made with buttermilk." And that's that folks. But really, can Hidden Valley just be the set standard?
More Waffles—But This Time With A LOT of Chicken
You know, when creating a chicken and waffle sandwich, you might picture two waffles sandwiching a fried chicken patty. Well, KFC probably thought of that too, and then was like no, we're a chicken company, let's add more chicken.
Starting today in Canada, KFC is serving up a Waffle Double Down. The new menu item includes a Belgian waffle topped with maple syrup and sandwiched by two chicken patty "buns."
It's like an elevated chicken and waffles on the go, and if you think your body (mainly your heart) can handle this baby, we say go for it.
We'll Take a Full Pint of Scoopable Rosé, Please
We're on the brink of rosé season and Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream is taking frozen rosé (aka frosé) to a new level. Meet Jeni's Sorbet frosé flavor. The sorbet is like a scoopable wine and according to the website, is made "sangria-style" with "rosé, pear, strawberry, and watermelon flavors," to give it a refreshing and tart taste. If you don't live near a Jeni's Splended Ice Cream Shop, you can order a pint or five online for $12 today.
Ghirardelli Chocolate Churros Are Coming to Disneyland—Reason #8940 Why It's One of the Happiest Places on Earth
Disney is always upping its own churro game—there were lightsaber churros and recently, rose gold churros. Now, coming soon, there will be coco churros. According to Delish, Disney is collaborating with Ghirardelli to dust churros with chocolate powder, salted cinnamon sugar, and vanilla beans. Oh yeah, and it comes with a Mexican chocolate dipping sauce. Head to Disneyland (the one in Cali) for a taste April 13 - Sept. 3 as part of Pixar Fest.
P.S. There will also be strawberry churros.
