What were the best things we ate this week? Well, not much. Relatively speaking, though our stomachs were full, our review queue was lighter than usual. But that’s okay, there was still plenty we enjoyed chowing down on this week.

That includes a collection of doughnuts we loved eating from 9 to 5, celebrating a chain’s birthday, a delicious chicken sandwich, and one item that really disappointed us.

In case you missed any of our food reviews this week, though, we’ve got a roundup below! And you can click on each link to head to the full review!

Krispy Kreme x Dolly Parton

The new collection is in stores now – and if you head in on Saturday, you might score a free doughnut while wearing your best Dolly outfit (or singing a ditty). We tested three of the four, and found them all to be great. Like the superstar herself, these doughnuts are sweet, a treat, and great to eat. Actually do not eat Dolly Parton, please.

Popeye’s Golden Barbecue Sandwich

Popeye’s has a brand new barbecue sauce, and it is not to be missed. That said? Also don’t skip the cheese, because it enhances the flavor exponentially. Looks like the chain is still winning the chicken sandwich wars with this one!

Burger King Birthday Pie Slice

It’s Burger King’s birthday but you’re getting the treat with this delicious slice of pie. It’s got a cookie-crumb crust, cake bites, sprinkles, and will make it feel like it’s your birthday when you chow down on it.

Wendy’s Cinnabon Pull-Apart

Unfortunately, we had to pull this breakfast item apart in our review because it just is no good. It’s unfortunate, too, because Wendy’s is usually a reliable chain to check out new items from. Not in this case. It’s a rare skip from us.
