Fast food deals and steals: Hot offers as the weather warms
As the chill of winter transitions to the warmth of spring, several fast-food restaurant chains have announced some hot new menu offerings and deals.
The deals range from a St. Patrick's Day-themed sandwich special to a pizza charcuterie board.
To commemorate St. Patrick's Day, Arby's is offering a free corned beef Reuben sandwich with any purchase of $10 or more.
Inspired by the classic New York sandwich, the corned beef Reuben from Arby's is made with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing on marbled rye bread, the chain said.
The offer is valid through Sunday, March 16.
KFC, for its part, is currently offering a special deal exclusive to its rewards members.
For a limited time, KFC rewards members can get two Mike's Hot Honey chicken sandwiches for $7, the brand said.
The new spicy spin on KFC's original chicken sandwich – a white-meat filet topped with pickles on a brioche bun – was introduced last month.
"Combining KFC's flavorful fried chicken with the bold, sweet heat of Mike's Hot Honey just makes sense," Catherine Tan-Gillespie, KFC's chief marketing and development officer in the United States, said in a statement.
The $7 deal is valid in 47 U.S. states.
KFC said prices are higher in Alaska, California and Hawaii.
Other deals available to all KFC customers for a limited time include a $25 Fan Favorite's Box. It contains four pieces of fried chicken, 12 nuggets, fries, four biscuits and your choice of sauces, including hot honey.
KFC's three-piece tenders and two-piece fried chicken deals come with a side and a biscuit. Prices and participation may vary, the company said.
Pizza Hut has also unveiled its new Pizza Charcuterie for $24.99.
A play on the traditional cheese-filled boards, the Pizza Charcuterie is a customizable spread of different Pizza Hut menu items, according to the company.
The Pizza Charcuterie comes with any two medium pizzas, eight boneless wings, breadsticks and dip.
"We've seen creative charcuterie boards take over social feeds, and we knew it was time to give pizza the spotlight it deserves," Melissa Friebe, Pizza Hut's chief marketing officer, said in a statement.
"Because let's be honest – stacking crackers is cute, but stacking pizza, wings and breadsticks? That's a power move."
Pizza Hut said its charcuteria board could cost more in some locations, including California.

Chipotle is releasing its first new dip in five years
Chipotle (CMG) is tapping into America's seemingly never-ending obsession with ranch dressing. Beginning June 17, the chain is permanently adding Adobo Ranch to its menu. The dip, a variation on classic ranch, is seasoned with adobo pepper, sour cream and other herbs and spices that Chipotle says will give its food a 'craveable kick,' the company announced Monday. The addition of Adobo Ranch is the first time Chipotle has added a new dip in five years. In 2020, the chain rolled out a reformulated queso, which immediately boosted sales. The company is likely hoping for the same success as it deals with a slowdown in consumer spending. Sales fell during the first three months of the year, which Chipotle says is due to customers cutting back restaurant visits over concerns about the economy, echoing other chains' concerns. Chipotle (CMG) shares are down 12% for the year. Ranch, in particular, is popular among younger eaters and has increasingly appeared on more menus in recent years. Taco Bell added a spicy ranch created with Hidden Valley to accompany its crispy chicken nuggets, KFC features five ranch flavors at its new Saucy concept restaurant and Burger King once offered an 8-ounce ranch dipping cup. Chipotle acknowledges that ranch has 'become a cultural phenomenon, especially among Gen Z, who are finding creative ways to enjoy it beyond the traditional salad,' Chris Brand, the company's president and chief brand officer, said in a press release. Ranch also is well-known to consumers, giving them 'permission to experiment,' according to Maeve Webster, president of consulting firm Menu Matters. She adds that it's a sauce everyone is familiar with so 'that fear of wasting money, wasting time, or just generally not enjoying an experience will be mitigated.' Adobo Ranch will be available at Chipotle's US and Canada restaurants, and will be offered to members of its rewards program for free on launch day.
