    Review: Little Caesars - Detroit-Style Slices-N-Stix
    Little Caesars' new Detroit-Style Slices-N-Stix features two slices of Detroit-Style Deep Dish Pepperoni pizza, four pieces of Italian Cheese Bread, and Crazy Sauce for dipping. It's $4.99 in most areas, but it cost me $5.99 here in Los Angeles. This is basically the Detroit-Style version of Little Caesars' regular Slices-N-Stix. It's the same size as half of the chain's Detroit-Style Pizza. I prefer this over the regular Slices-N-Stix, as, even though the crust is thicker, there's more cheese and texture to it. There's a nice contrast between the crispy edges and soft crumb. Mine was underbaked, though; it was soft and pale along the bottom rather than crisp. The size makes for a hearty meal (or two light meals) with a nice variety between the cheese sticks and pizza. There's not a lot of pepperoni, but the flavor was there. I prefer ranch for dipping the cheese sticks, as the Crazy Sauce makes them taste more like pizza. They give a generous amount of Crazy Sauce, though. There's a fresh tang and light seasoned flavor to it. Overall, Little Caesars' Detroit-Style Slices-N-Stix hit the spot for a nice lunch. I'm a fan of Little Caesars' Detroit-Style Pizza and its Italian Cheese Bread, so getting the two in one affordable meal with little in the way of leftovers is a no-brainer for me.

    Sea Dog and Fish 'n Chips Return to Wienerschnitzel
    The Sea Dog and Fish 'n Chips are back at Wienerschnitzel in time for the 2026 Lenten/seafood season. The Sea Dog (pictured) is like a hot dog but with a fish filet instead of a frankfurter.

Prices vary, but it costs $4.99 at my local Wienerschnitzel in Los Angeles. Wienerschnitzel's Fish 'n Chips features two or four battered and deep-fried fish filets accompanied by French fries and tartar sauce. A two-piece order costs $6.59 near me, while a four-piece order costs $11.99. Both seasonal Lent-friendly items are now available for a limited time. Photo via Wienerschnitzel.

    2026 Super Bowl Deals and Specials
    The Super Bowl is coming up this Sunday, February 8, 2026, and in case you're looking to save some money on food for your game day spread, here's a list of 2026 Super Bowl deals and specials (as well as some day-after-the-Super-Bowl deals): - 7-Eleven - On February 8 and February 9, 2026, 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards members can buy a whole pizza and get another for $3.

    Jimmy John's Launches New Meal Diamond Meal
    Jimmy John's has partnered with Hellmann's to launch the new Meal Diamond Deal for a limited time at participating locations nationwide through February 22, 2026. The Meal Diamond Deal features a Ham & Three Cheese Melt, chips, and a regular fountain drink for a price that varies by location. A Meal Diamond Meal with a regular-sized sub costs $12.69 near me in Los Angeles (it's $21.99 with a Giant sub). A Ham & Three Cheese Melt is a sub featuring double ham, cheddar, parmesan, and provolone, served on toasted French bread. It normally costs $11.69 near me, which means the deal nets you chips and a drink for $1. That's the same as a "make a sandwich a combo for $1" deal that Jimmy John's has been offering since last month (prices may vary by location). The name of the meal requires some explanation: During this year's Super Bowl, Hellmann's will be airing a commercial starring comedian Andy Samberg as "Meal Diamond," a riff on musical artist Neil Diamond, singing "Sweet Sandwich Time," a parody of Neil Diamond's hit song, "Sweet Caroline." You can view the longform version of the ad below (a shortened 30-second spot will air during the game): Photo via Jimmy John's. Read more at Brand Eating!  ( 15 min )
