The line between dinner and dessert has been blurred in the past, but some recent fast food offerings that blend sweet and savory are creating a lot of buzz.
"Replacing buns with the unconventional is the new norm," Foodbeast said of one fast food chain's latest offering — Jack in the Box's "Big Waffle Stack."
From a Krispy Kreme meat sandwich to a sweet pizza, here are some attempts at combining sweet and savory flavors. While some are appealing, others are disconcerting.
The Krispy Kreme Sloppy Joe
San Diego restaurant Chicken Charlie's announced on its Facebook page that it is offering a Krispy Kreme Sloppy Joe at the San Diego County Fair.
The fair lasts through July 4, so there's still time to visit and try the sandwich, which includes sloppy joe meat and cheddar cheese between two halves of a glazed donut.
Taco Bell's Waffle Taco
Taco Bell is testing an 89-cent Waffle Taco at three Southern California locations.
The sausage patty and scrambled eggs are folded into a waffle and served with a packet of syrup. Whether or not it stays a menu item or expands to other locations remains to be seen.
Reviews so far have been harsh.
