Calling it the chain's "biggest and boldest burger yet," McDonald's Big Arch Burger will arrive at participating locations nationwide starting March 3, 2026, for a limited time. The Big Arch features two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of melted white cheddar cheese, both crispy and slivered onions, lettuce, pickles, and Big Arch Sauce, served on a toasted sesame-and-poppy-seeded bun. The key highlight of the burger is the new Big Arch Sauce, which McDonald's describes as "a tangy, creamy sauce with a perfect balance of mustard, pickle, and sweet tomato flavors. While it's not yet March 3, 2026, the Big Arch is already available at some locations, including my local McDonald's, where it costs $8.59 (versus $7.29 for a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese). That makes it the priciest burger on the menu, although the Double Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese comes in a close second at $8.49. The Big Arch comes in at 1020 calories (versus 740 calories for the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese and 850 for the Double Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese), which is the most calories in McDonald's burger lineup. The new sauce, crispy onions, and an extra slice of cheese appear to make up the difference. Photo via McDonald's. Read more at Brand Eating!  ( 15 min )

The Twister wrap is back on the menu at participating KFC restaurants nationwide. It's been a while since KFC last offered the Twister, but the fried chicken chain tested its return in 2024. This time around, you can get a Classic Twister or a new Spicy Twister, with or without bacon. The Classic Twister features two Original Recipe chicken tenders, lettuce, diced tomato, and Pepper Mayo, wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. The Spicy Twister is much the same but swaps out Pepper Mayo for spicy Zinger Sauce. Opting for bacon costs extra and nets you two slices of hickory-smoked bacon. Prices vary, but both the Classic Twister and Spicy Twister cost $4.99 near me in Los Angeles. Adding bacon tacks on $2. KFC also continues to offer its Nashville Hot sauce, which returned last month and is available on the fast-food chain's fried chicken, tenders, and chicken sandwiches. Finally, KFC adds a limited-time $20 8-piece Build-A-Bucket deal. For the price, you get eight Original Recipe chicken tenders or dark meat fried chicken, plus a choice of four individual sides, four dipping sauces, and four buttermilk biscuits. Photo via KFC.
