Zaxbys brings back a fan favorite — and it's here to stay. What to know
A Zaxbys fan favorite is back for good, and just in time for the chain's 35th birthday.
Handcrafted milkshakes will return to menus permanently at all Zaxbys locations by summer, the Georgia-based chicken chain said in a May 19 news release.
To celebrate, all shakes are half off starting Monday, May 19, through June 1 at participating Zaxbys locations nationwide, the restaurant said. No additional purchase is necessary.
The hand-spun treats are available in four flavors:

'At Zaxbys, we believe every great celebration deserves something sweet — and what better way to mark our 35th birthday than by bringing back our fan-favorite milkshakes,' Patrick Schwing, chief marketing and strategy officer for Zaxbys, said in the release.
The 20 oz. treats start at $4.99 and are slated to be in all restaurants permanently by June, Zaxbys said.
Milkshakes were missing from menus for seven years before Zaxbys tested them exclusively in Macon and surrounding cities in 2024, McClatchy News reported.
At the time, Zaxbys teamed up with Macon's tourism bureau, Visit Macon, to encourage travelers to explore the 'hidden gems, iconic landmarks, and storied history' of the city, about 80 miles southeast from Atlanta.
The handcrafted shakes will rejoin Zaxbys dessert lineup, which includes chocolate chip cookies and fried cheesecake bites, according to the restaurant's website.

Going to Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final? What to know about pregame entertainment
The Stanley Cup Final series between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers has shifted to Sunrise for the next two games of the best-of-7 series on Monday and Thursday. And beyond the entertainment that should take place on the ice — the first two games have been thrillers, with Game 1 going to overtime (4-3 Edmonton win) and Game 2 going to double overtime (5-4 Florida win) — there will be plenty of excitement and entertainment at Amerant Bank Arena leading up to Game 3's 8 p.m. start time on Monday. Another one While there is no concert outside the arena like there was for Games 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup Final last year, the Panthers announced Monday afternoon that DJ Khaled will perform in the arena both pregame and during the first intermission. It's the second consecutive year Khaled has been part of Florida's Stanley Cup Final festivities. He performed outside the arena ahead Game 2 in last season's Cup Final. It's also the second time this postseason the Panthers will have an in-arena performance midgame. Cedric Gervais performed during the first intermission of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference final against the Carolina Hurricanes. Adebayo on the drum Meanwhile, Miami Heat star center Bam Adebayo is scheduled to bang the drum pregame prior to opening faceoff. He's the latest big name from South Florida to get things started before a game this playoffs. The running list of those who have banged the drum this postseason: ▪ First round vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Inter Miami midfielder Banjamin Cremaschi (Game 3) and Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith (Game 4) ▪ Second round vs Toronto Maple Leafs: Boca Raton-based social media personalities A.J. and Big Justice, former Panthers defenseman Keith Yandle (Game 4) and former Marlins catcher Charles Johnson (Game 6) ▪ Eastern Conference final vs Carolina Hurricanes: rapper Trick Daddy (Game 3) and Dolphins defensive lineman Zach Sieler (Game 4) Rally towels take jabs at previous opponents For every home game this postseason, the Panthers have laid out rally towels for fans to wave throughout the game. Each one generally has a theme or saying that fits into messaging the Panthers have had all season. For Game 3 on Monday, the saying is 'Rats Rule,' featuring a rat with a hockey stick and helmet and a Florida crest on its chest in front of a shield. The Panthers have embraced the rat throughout basically the franchise's entire history, going back to the Year of the Rat in 1996 when they went on to reach the Stanley Cup Final for the first time. It's become even more ingrained this year with Florida's aggressive style of play, led by agitators Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand. But look closer at the rat itself and you'll notice the logos of the three teams Florida has knocked out in the playoffs to reach the Cup Final for a third consecutive year. A lightning bolt on the rat's left leg. A maple leaf on the rat's right ear. A hurricane flag on the knob of the stick. They're subtle, but give a reminder of the path Florida has taken in its quest to repeat as champions. Getting to the arena For those parking at Amerant Bank Arena, the parking gates open at 5 p.m. and doors to the arena open at 6:30 p.m. Parking is $75 per car.

Millions Tune In Daily For ABC's Special Coverage Of ‘Diddy' Trial
ABC News Live graphic for its series 'Burden of Proof: The Case Against Diddy' Since its launch in May, ABC's daily show on the trial of music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Burden of Proof: The Case Against Diddy, has drawn an impressive audience of 16 million viewers, based on video starts across YouTube and ABC's streaming platform, ABC News Live. Streaming daily from opening statements through the jury's verdict, the program, hosted by GMA3 co-anchor and senior national correspondent Eva Pilgrim, provides a deep dive into what happens each day in the courtroom--and what it may mean to both the prosecution and the defense. Pilgrim is joined daily by ABC News chief investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky and legal contributor and attorney Brian Buckmire, who has been inside the courtroom. 'Our goal is to keep audiences informed, and the response we've seen proves they're looking for real-time coverage that's clear, accurate and thoughtful," Pilgrim said. 'As we break down each development, we stay grounded in the experiences of the victims and survivors and approach their stories with the sensitivity they deserve.'

(Photo by) Combs is on trial in federal court on charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, and has featured searing testimony from witnesses, including women who have taken the stand to describe graphic sexual encounters with Combs that they said were not consensual. Three women have testified using pseudonyms, but others have not, including Cassie Ventura, an R&B singer and former girlfriend of Combs, who testified for four days about their relationship. Prosecutors say Ventura was sex trafficked and subject to physical abuse, including an assault captured in a surveillance video recorded at a Los Angeles hotel.

"The strong engagement we've seen around our reporting of the case underscores the public's deep interest,' said Seni Tienabeso, vice president of ABC News Live and Specialized Units. 'We are committed to approaching this story with care, recognizing the seriousness of the allegations and the courage of those who have come forward, and our team remains focused on reporting with integrity and respect for all involved.' ABC News' multi-platform approach to covering the trial also includes the podcast Bad Rap: The Case Against Diddy, special episodes of Impact x Nightline, and a weekly series on Hulu, Diddy on Trial: As It Happened, which debuted May 25. Hosted by The View co-host and former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin, the docuseries features a weekly roundtable discussion and re-enactments of testimony and moments inside the courtroom.
