- Former New Kid on the Block and current Wahlburgers star Donnie Wahlberg left a $1,000 tip at a Waffle House in Indianapolis. (The real question is, how did he order his hash browns?)
- McDonald’s new chicken tenders are apparently so popular that it’s temporarily run out of them. The chain promises they’ll return to menus on December 28.
- Jewelry made from dried sardines and Swarovski crystals is the perfect gift for the oily fish lover in your life.
- Midlevel chain Red Robin is taking a cue from Olive Garden and launching a $99 prepaid dining pass. Instead of bottomless pasta bowls, purchasers will get a $15 gift card delivered every month (for a savings of 45 percent).
- Venison-slinging fast-food chain Arby’s is buying Buffalo Wild Wings for more than $2 billion.
- Starbucks just unveiled its latest holiday cup, which is red and probably still not Christmas-y enough for some folks. The coffee giant also just launched Spotify gift cards featuring Lady Gaga, Chance the Rapper, and Metallica; a portion of the sales price goes to charity.
- Someone invented a car holder for fast-food dipping sauces, which seems... questionable. Please don’t dip and drive.
- Pizza Hut UK will now offer vegan cheese at every location.
