Would you go to IHOP for brunch? They’re adding beer, wine, and champagne to the menu at a dozen IHOP locations by the end of the year. They hope to eventually offer them at most of their restaurants in the U.S.
Brach’s Is Tweaking Their Turkey Dinner-Flavored Candy Corn
Remember how Brach’s put out those TURKEY DINNER-flavored bags of candy corn last year, with candies that tasted like: Roasted turkey . . . stuffing . . . green beans . . . cranberry sauce . . . ginger glazed carrots . . . and sweet potato pie?
Well apparently it didn’t gross out everyone, because they’re bringing it back . . . with a few tweaks. FOUR of the six flavors will be back: Roasted turkey, stuffing, green beans, and cranberry sauce. But ginger glazed carrots and sweet potato pie have been swapped out for: Apple pie and coffee.
The bags are on their way to stores like Walgreens now . . . more than two months before Thanksgiving . . . so if you’re interested, keep an eye out for it.
Wendy’s Is Opening Delivery-Only Ghost Kitchens

Wendy’s is going to be opening at least 700 DELIVERY-ONLY locations. So they are hopping on the “ghost kitchen” trend, which is a little odd for a fast-food joint.
For now, the delivery-only spots will mostly pop up in urban areas, where there aren’t already a ton of dine-in Wendy’s locations. They’ll be hiring kitchen staff, but third parties like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub will deliver the food.
