From The Club
What a great lineup of limited-time menu releases! Flavor-wise, these are all top-tier, but I’ll be having that Bacon & Cheese Crazy Puffs from Little Caesars first. Also, that Hardee’s x Ruffles collab looks real interesting, I just wish it would be available in more markets. Also, if we’re talking about authentic Mexican food experience, that Birria Taco is a must-have, I tried it once, and that’s one of my biggest regrets…to try it just once!
