U.S. restaurants kick off Summer Games with Olympic-themed food and drink specials

Not every fan can travel to France to watch the Olympic athletes compete, but restaurants offer plenty of ways to cheer them on from afar.

There’s a day this summer to celebrate everything from chicken wings to ice cream, caviar, French fries, tequila and even Spam. Why the deluge?

After a successful test in October, Cheesy Street Chalupas roll out Thursday for a limited time.

Taste Tracker: It’s a sweet summer for Chip City, Scooter’s and Rita’s; 7 Brew, Bigbby’s, Dunkin’ and PJ’s target the thirsty; Zaxby's does tacos; and Biscuitville goes all in on Spam.

The fast-food chain’s new Fiery Menu offers five items aimed at spice seekers, with each rated according to its heat level.

Taste Tracker: Beverages make a splash at Juice It Up, Sip Fresh and Snooze; sandwiches soar at Denny’s, Shipley Donuts and Togo’s; Dave’s Hot Chicken and Burgerville shake it up; and more menu moves of the week.

Jalapeño Ranch Nacho Fries make their debut at the Mexican restaurant chain along with a 30-day $10 subscription for rewards members.

Taste Tracker: Popeyes goes all in on boneless; World Burger Tour comes to Hard Rock; Taco Cabana hosts street food fest; Starbucks energizes its beverage lineup; and more menu news of the week.

The fast-food chain bestows a gift on fans with the return of a favorite side.
