From The Club
I am so ready to hop into spring with all these new menu releases! There’s actually something for everyone, but new items with refreshing flavors are more prominent. Can we talk about Dutch Bros‘ new drinks for a moment? All of them sound delicious, especially that Iced Brownie Batter Mocha. 🤤 I would also love to try Applebee’s new Hot Honey Glazed Chicken & Bacon Skillet and I’m praying (hard) that it’s not too spicy, lol!
