For delicious French crêpes, colourful mini-donut hotspot Little Lucy’s, and no-fuss Mexican joint Wild Taco. Four Brothers Venezuelan churns out killer arepas, Tommy Want Wingy fries up a number of the finest wings in town, and Burro Cheese Kitchen dishes out some next-level grilled cheese sandwiches. How about with an added Snickers™ bar, wrapped in a tortilla and deep-fried to golden brown? It’s hot, it’s crispy and it’s oozing with chocolatey goodness.

Arby’s rolled out its LTO Venison Sandwich final year to honor hunters in more than a dozen markets. The sandwich includes a thick-cut venison steak and crispy onions topped with a juniper berry sauce on a toasted specialty roll. The venison—grass-fed red deer from New Zealand—is marinated in salt, pepper, and garlic; sous-vide for 3.5 hours to medium; and then seared shortly to lock in flavor. The juniper berry sauce is a Cabernet steak sauce infused with juniper berries. The quick-serve industry’s first major black-bean burger, Wendy’s patty was made from peppers, grains, corn, carrots, and a mix of spices, and was then topped with pepper jack cheese and parmesan ranch sauce on a multigrain bun. Alas, the Black Bean Burger was solely a check in a couple of markets, and the corporate does not have plans to convey it back.
