    KFC Tests New Handheld Pot Pie
    KFC is testing a new Handheld Pot Pie that's basically a hand-held version of the chain's regular Pot Pie. The Handheld Pot Pie is being tested for a limited time at select locations in several states, including South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Rhode Island. It is priced at around $3.99 (the price varies with location) and, like its bigger Pot Pie brother, it is filled with fried chicken, diced potatoes, peas, carrots, and "savory" sauce, but with a flaky hand-held crust instead of a traditional pot pie crust in a pie tin. It's also available in a combo meal with Secret Recipe Fries and a drink for $7.99 Photo via KFC. Read more at Brand Eating!  ( 15 min )

    Domino's Offers $6.99 Large 2-Topping Pizza Carryout Deal
    This week, Domino's is offering a limited-time deal where you can get large 2-topping pizzas for $6.99 each when ordering for carryout through Sunday, February 1 2026, at participating locations nationwide. The limited-time deal is available with several crust options, including Hand Tossed, Crunchy Thin, or New York Style crust. You can also get Parmesan Stuffed Crust for an extra charge (note that the crust only comes in medium). The deal makes for a $1 savings (and one extra topping) over Domino's long-running $7.99 large one-topping carryout deal. The deal may be slightly higher in some areas (it costs $7.99 here in Los Angeles). Photo via Domino's. Read more at Brand Eating!  ( 15 min )
    Review: Taco Bell - Salted Caramel Churros
    Taco Bell's Salted Caramel Churros feature mini churros with a creamy filling, dusted with salted caramel sugar. These come three to an order and cost me $2.29. Out of the bag, these looked pretty pale and disappointingly small. You can easily eat each one in a single bite. The churros were light and crispy with a bit of chew under the crust. The filling is the same cream cheese icing that you find in Taco Bell's Cinnabon Delights.  The salted caramel sugar was salty but lacked much of a caramel flavor. It seemed to be the same stuff they used for the Dulce del Leche Cinnamon Delights last year. I wouldn't have thought they were caramel-flavored at all if I didn't already know. Overall, Taco Bell's Salted Caramel Churros were a miss for me. There's not all that much to nom on, and the main flavor is the creamy filling that you can already get from Cinnabon Delights. They had me missing when Taco Bell still offered a regular churro. Read more at Brand Eating!  ( 16 min )
