In-N-Out Just Made Its First Major Menu Change in More Than 15 Years

About Chick-fil-A's New Sandwich

The sandwich build starts with their signature chicken patty, which then gets topped with spreadable pimiento cheese, pickled jalapeños, and a generous drizzle of honey to balance everything out. Obsessed. According to Chick-fil-A, the pimento cheese spread is made in-house. It incorporates only the best – sharp cheddar cheese, green chilis, and red pimiento – to create a concoction that’ll melt gloriously all around the sammie. The fried chicken chain also noted that they’ve never used pickled jalapeños for their entrees, and the new addition is oh-so enticing.

"We wanted to create a standout sandwich that would deliver a unique spin for our guests, without losing the classic taste of the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich uses ingredients and flavors our guests have never experienced at Chick-fil-A before, balancing savory, sweet and spicy elements using the highest quality ingredients," said Stuart Tracy, Chick-fil-A Chef and creator behind the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, in the official announcement. "With our custom-made pimento cheese and specially sourced jalapeños, we hope to deliver a new and exciting sandwich our guests will love.”

Another New Chick-Fil-A Menu Item? The Caramel Crumble Milkshake

The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich isn’t all for fall, though. CFA's channeling the cozy season even further with the introduction of the Caramel Crumble Milkshake. We’re drooling already. Crafted to pair with the new sandwich, the milkshake blends ice cream with butterscotch and caramel flavors and gets finished off with blondie crumbles, whipped cream, and a cherry on top.

Burger King recently announced the addition of new Royal Crispy Wrap to menus nationwide starting August 14, and from what I know so far, it beautifully mimics everything that the Snack Wrap was: crispy chicken layered with tomato, lettuce, and your choice of sauce – all neatly tucked into a tortilla. The only thing BK’s forgetting this go-around is the cheese, but I’ll forgive them.

The new Snack Wrap "dupes" will be available to order in three different flavors. Of the classic, spicy, and honey mustard flavors coming to the menu, I have my gaze set on the spicy one. Each one is affordable at just $3 per wrap, making for the perfect midday pick-me-up or late night snack. These are going to hit hard with a Diet Coke in-hand.

The Royal Crispy Wraps are allegedly only available for a limited time, so get ready to feast before they’re all gone!

Does Burger King have Snack Wraps?

Yes, Burger King will start selling their Royal Crispy Wraps, which are very similar to McDonald’s beloved Snack Wraps, on August 14, 2023.

Why did McDonald's discontinue Snack Wraps?

McDonald’s simply wasn’t selling enough Snack Wraps to keep them on the menu. They were also time-consuming to make in-store, contributing to overall productivity (or lack thereof).

What was in the McDonald's Snack Wrap?

The Snack Wrap from McDonald's was constructed of your choice of grilled or crispy chicken, a cheese blend (shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack), and lettuce. You topped it with your choice of sauce (ranch, honey mustard, or salsa), and got it all wrapped up in a tortilla.

Romantic Silhouettes

Take Romantic Silhouettes, for example. This is a trend we've seen steadily gain traction over the past few years. Think curvy furniture, delicate floral prints, and soft blush hues — when curated thoughtfully, these elements can become timeless staples in your home.

Watch Shea's take on designing your home for 2025!

Western Cowboy

This is a design trend that totally surprised me, but I'm so happy to see it in the mix. Elements like leather furniture, rustic accessories, equestrian art, even wood walls, shown in this office designed by A1000XBetter, are making an impact in 2025 and beyond. But Shea notes that you can take this trend literally or just be inspired by the look. You can also mix it with other styles to personalize it for you. Add romantic pillows or ruffled tablecloths like McGee & Co. x Loeffler Randall Gardenia Ruffle Border Tablecloth – things you love that make it yours vs. based solely on one trend.

Saturated Colors

Shea predicts that rich hues like deep browns, oxblood red, and earthy greens will continue to dominate home decor colors going into 2025. House of Rolison's bathroom brown is an excellent example of this beautiful trend.

Pattern Drenching

Embracing a single pattern and drenching an entire room in it — from walls to pillows, headboards, and curtains — is a surprise trend for 2025. This maximalist approach, which has been quietly gaining traction, draws inspiration from Arts and Crafts designers like William Morris and has been in and out of vogue since the Victorian era.

Embellishments

This is a trend you can easily DIY to add an extra layer of charm to your decor. Think playful details like fringe accents —beautifully shown in McGee & Co.'s Philippa Settee — along with tassels, pleats, ruffles, and rope. It’s all about embracing texture and whimsy, so have fun with it!

Seaside Inspiration

Coastal decor has long been an influence in design and you can be inspired by it in many forms, from shell accents to beach-inspired artwork like McGee & Co.'s Distant Coastline art to textured seagrass baskets and jute rugs. Even the soothing hues of the sea — think soft blues, sandy neutrals, and gentle greens — can inspire your 2025 spaces.
