From The Club
There’s definitely something for everyone in this roundup of new winter menu offerings! Shake Shack never fails to amaze me with their limited-edition shakes. All three of them sound amazing, but I’m trying the Thai Iced Tea Shake first. On the pastry front, both Tim Hortons and TOUS les JOURS are also doing well. Tim Hortons gets a plus point, though, for offering everyday value and convenience. It’s now super easy to decide what to have for breakfast with their new Tims Pairings!
