In-N-Out Goes Deep In The Hearts Of Texans

In-N-Out Burger expanding to Texas.

The ongoing Great Fast Food Expansion is one that takes a surprising amount of time. Texas didn’t have In-N-Out Burger. How could that have happened? Or rather, not have had happened. Regardless, it seems like every state should have access to the best fast food. But, I suppose these things take time. After all, California still doesn’t have White Castle (not that that is a bad thing), and those east of Vegas have no idea what Roberto’s is (which is a bad thing).

In any event, the Lone Star State looks to be getting at least eight restaurants in the coming months. Texas, which at times thinks it is its own country, probably doesn’t know how to speak the language yet. Here’s how it’s done, Texans; just say this: “Double-double, animal style, add chilies, fries well-done.” Enjoy, and welcome to In-N-Outland.

The burger chain, Jack in the Box, has now hit the road and can be found rolling along the streets of Southern California. There happen to be a lot of parking lots in Southern California, so hopefully this news doesn’t squeeze out the little guys. In any event, just like drive-ins were an icon of previous generations, it looks like food trucks have hit the mainstream.

Denny’s Calls Out ‘Man v. Food’ Star Adam Richman

Denny's Calls Out 'Man v. Food' Star Adam Richman

In a fun piece of marketing, Denny’s throws itself into the ring with Man v. Food host Adam Richman, calling him out to fill up at the iconic diner. For the price of a press release, Denny’s gets to hype its menu via Twitter and Facebook. Plus, if the Travel Channel actually accepts the challenge, Denny’s will donate money to a worthy cause. Even if it is a prearranged bit of hype, the idea is pretty good–and makes me wonder how much it would really cost to fill up on biscuits and gravy. And french fries. And Grand Slams. And…

Introducing FOMZ, Zero Gravity Fruit In A Can

FOMZ, Zero Gravity Fruit in a Can

There are never-ending options when it comes to mixers. This is a good thing, as a little squirt of this or a dash of that can change the entire complexion of an alcoholic beverage. Usually however, those mixers don’t come in foam form. Enter FOMZ, a new foamy alternative to traditional mixers. The innovative edible contains no alcohol on its own, so it can also be used for virgin beverages. Using nitrous oxide as a propellant, the foamy goodness comes out of the can similar to how a whipped cream canister operates. Just point and squeeze.

Press release and in-action video after the jump.
