The other day, on March 2, 2026, my mother, Chad, and I decided to go out for an early dinner instead of cooking at home. Since we were already in Pikeville, Kentucky, running an errand, we stopped by Applebee’s Grill + Bar. I noticed a new item on the menu I wanted to try, and Chad was curious about it too—the O-M-Cheese Burger. The O-M-Cheese Burger is served in a sizzling skillet of molten queso and a blend of cheddar cheeses. The all-beef burger is topped with American cheese, Applewood-smoked bacon, and spicy honey mustard, with fries on the side. Before our burgers arrived, Chad ordered some appetizers for the table: Brew Pub Pretzels & Beer Cheese Dip and Spinach & Artichoke Dip (a free appetizer, a $25 deal for two O-M-Cheese Burgers). I decided to skip the appetizers, so I wouldn’t get too full before my burger arrived. For a drink, I ordered a Sugar-Free Red Bull. Normally, I prefer Monster Energy Zero, but since Applebee’s didn’t have it, Red Bull was the next best option. The O-M-Cheese Burger is priced at $11.99, but the Pikeville location was offering a deal: two O-M-Cheese Burgers and one free appetizer for $25. Chad and I decided to take advantage of that offer. Keep in mind that the O-M-Cheese Burger is a…
Subway has launched new items on their menu and calls them series. You can choose from a few different items in the series. Under that series, there are a few, but for Deli Heroes, it has #99 Grand Slam Ham, #15 Titan Turkey, #17 Garlic Roast Beef, and #30 The Beast. Another is Cheesesteaks, which has #1 The Philly, #33 Teriyaki Blitz, #2 The Outlaw, and # The Monster. Another one is Italianos, which has #23 The Hotshot Italiano, #18 The Ultimate B.M.T., #4 Supreme Meats, #6 The Boss, and #5 Bella Mozza. Another is Chicken has #16 All-Pro Sweet Onion Teriyaki, #20 Elite Chicken & Bacon Ranch, #8 The Great Garlic, and #9 The Champ. Another last is Clubs, which has the #19 Pickleball Club, #10 All-American Club, and #11 Subway Club. If you ask me what is up with these series, numbers, and names, it is sports such as NFL players customized subs; they tell Subway what they would like to have for their sandwich, and then what would they name it? Then, put them on their menu as a series and let the customers have a taste of them, especially if they wonder how their favorite players like their sandwich at Subway. You can check out what these have, such as toppings, what kind of bread, and…
I am a big fan of Pizza Hut restaurants; who doesn’t love Pizza Hut?! They launched a few new items for their menu not too long ago, and one of them is called Melts. What is it, and what do I think of them? I will share that here, along with a review! At first, I admit that I was so confused with the name of the new item they had put on their menu because the look of it and how they described the food item didn’t exactly give me a clear image of what it was until I looked into it more. If the people over at Pizza Hut and some people come to me to tell me that they resisted ordering that item named Melts or that they are struggling to sell them, then it is no wonder. Because I resisted ordering melts for a while because, again, I was unsure of the food item; if you hear a pizza restaurant telling you that the new item on their menu is called melts, tell me, what does it sound like? Almost like a cheese stick, cheesy, or something that has to do with cheese being melted. Maybe macaroni and cheese? Perhaps it’s the cheese itself but seasoned? Ohh! Maybe it’s deep-fried cheese (which I realized is cheese…
