Ethnic breakfast sandwiches combine portability with global flavors

Ethnic breakfast sandwiches offer a triple play: adventurous flavor combinations, craveablity and portability. These three elements seem to drive sales any time of day, and food service professionals indicate that the breakfast sandwiches they inhabit play particularly well on all-day breakfast menus.

Street food’s popularity is continuing to skyrocket, and it’s easy to see what makes this type of food a crowd favorite. Quick and convenient, street food often provides a simple, accessible way for customers to experience unique ethnic cuisines.

The chain says the promotion will end prematurely because of the dwindling supplies.

A group of operators is offering a free breakfast item to anyone who brings in a receipt for Taco Bell breakfast. The objective is to show Taco Bell customers they have a better option.

A third-party service also figures into a new catering initiative for the Mexican chain.

Vowing to serve cage-free eggs only by 2025, the chain will beat competitor Denny’s to the punch by one year.

The slip comes as the chain plans a new flagship restaurant and broader expansion efforts.

Taco Bell's newfound qualms about social media is just one example of restaurants wondering if the status quo is such a hot way to go.
