From quick-service to upscale, restaurants are giving menus a seasonal refresh

Taste Tracker: Domino’s does dips while Mod Pizza dips into cake; Fleming’s focuses on filets; fajitas and tacos mash up at Fuzzy’s; fresh takes on burgers, sandwiches, smoothies, mac and cheese, nuggets and more.

The burger giant will conduct an operations test of its Beyond Meat McPlant sandwich at eight restaurants around the country starting Nov. 3.

Global flavors trend at Firehouse, Ledo Pizza and Cava; Newk’s, Sweetgreen and Dog Haus play up plants; Toasted Yolk and Eggs Up Grill go big on breakfast; and Krispy Kreme and Eureka get spooky.

The fast casual is adding a new Buffalo Cauliflower side dish and a Curry Cauliflower bowl to its autumnal offerings.

The chain was the first to bring Stuffed Crust Pizza to consumers, with more than 40 variations launching in the years since. Innovation continues at R&D headquarters around the world.

Plant-based dishes, cocktails, mac and cheese and hearty hot sandwiches are all trending, while several operators scare up spooky LTOs for Halloween.

The QSR is rolling out its meatless version Monday, along with a spicier take on the chain’s original chicken nuggets.

The burger giant is testing its Beyond Meat plant-based burger across the pond and plans to take it throughout the market next year.

For all the focus on alternative meats and vegetarian lifestyles, there’s little evidence to suggest people are actually consuming less meat, says RB’s The Bottom Line.
