The Double Big Mac originally debuted on menus in 2020, along with the Little Mac. The price of the burger will vary based on individual restaurants.

McDonald’s has sold different versions of the Big Mac in the past.

In 2017 and 2018, it sold the Grand Mac and the Mac Jr.

The Grand Mac used only two patties, but they were larger than a typical piece of meat used on a regular Big Mac. It also had a larger bun.

Customers will need to make a rewards account in the app to redeem the deal.

In November, Del Taco became the first-ever quick-service restaurant to offer beef birria ramen. The ramen debuted alongside beef birria tacos, quesadilla and consomé dip.

“As part of our Del Taco Better Mex brand promise, we wanted to serve this unique Mexican street food experience to our guests with truly authentic flavors in our new Shredded Beef Birria and consomé,” Tim Hackbardt, Del Taco’s chief marketing officer, said in a statement.

More details about how the company will celebrate its 60th anniversary are expected to be released in the near future.

Shake Shack is giving out free food: How to redeem the limited-time deal https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/shake-shack-is-giving-out-free-food-how-to-redeem-the-limited-time-deal/ Thu, 21 Dec 2023 20:47:44 +0000 https://ktla.com/?p=2756173 Shake Shack is giving its customers an early Christmas present with its latest deal.

The burger chain is giving away free chicken sandwiches, bacon cheese fries and milkshakes.

To redeem the deal, customers would need to place an order worth at least $10 at the in-store kiosks or online and enter a promo code to receive their freebie item.

The codes CHICKENLINE, PROPFRY or SHAKESPREAD need to be used to receive a free chicken sandwich, bacon cheese fries or classic shake, respectively.

One freebie can be redeemed per order.

The deal is available nationwide at all Shake Shack locations, excluding those in airports, stadiums arenas, travel plazas and museums.

The deal came to be after Shake Shack partnered with Barstool Sports’ "Pardon My Take" to bet on three NFL games last weekend.

After all the bets paid off, Shake Shack held up its end of the bargain and footed the bill for the free sandwiches, fries and desserts.

Shake Shack ran a similar promotion in November.

In-N-Out adds new drink options to its menus https://ktla.com/news/california/in-n-out-adds-new-drink-options-to-its-menus/ Wed, 20 Dec 2023 18:15:39 +0000 https://ktla.com/?p=2753855 In-N-Out is adding more soft drinks to its beverage lineup.

The Irvine-based chain announced that it added two new drink options to its menus: Lite Pink Lemonade and Cherry Coke.

The new lemonade is made with real lemon juice and is sweetened with stevia leaves and monk fruit.

This is the first time the company has added new items to its menus since 2018, when hot cocoa was added.

On rainy or snowy days, depending on the In-N-Out’s location, the company gives out free cups of hot cocoa to customers 12 years old or younger.

The California-based restaurant makes hot cocoa by combining a chocolate powdery mix from Ghirardelli with hot water.

In-N-Out Burger opened in 1948 as a tiny stand at Francisquito and Garvey avenues in Baldwin Park. Harry and Esther Snyder, the company’s founders, are credited with inventing the world’s first drive-thru with a two-way speaker box that same year.

For years, the restaurants could only be found in the Los Angeles area, but company officials slowly began expanding their footprint in other regions across California and Southwestern states.

As of 2023, the company has 400 locations across the western half of the nation. In January, the company announced that it would open restaurants and a corporate office in Tennessee by 2026.
