  Because of my Popeyes post this morning a few people asked me if I had any updates about ALBAIK opening in Kuwait. ALBAIK is a very popular Saudi fried chicken concept and from what I’ve been told, they’re planning to open in Kuwait next year with the first two locations in Al Khiran and Aswaq Qurain and Avenues Mall. They also have plans to open two more locations in the north but they haven’t decided where yet.

  soon in Kafian.

  V-Thru   is an app similar to Carriage and Deliveroo but instead of it being a food delivery service, it’s a virtual drive-thru service that allows you to pick up food from restaurants that don’t have a drive-thru. I originally refused to use the app since it required me to sign up and register before I could explore it and I   Love  apps that force me to sign up and hand over my personal information without letting me explore first. But eventually I had to cave in since I needed to experience the app for work purposes and now I kinda like it. Before the pandemic anytime I wanted to pick up food I’d just go down to a restaurant, order my food and then pick it up and head back to my car. Some places even allowed me to call ahead of time so they could prepare my food that way I wouldn’t have to wait for long at the restaurant. But now with the pandemic, I prefer not leaving my car, touching restaurant door handles or using Knet machines which is why I’m liking V-Thru...

  Lucky Manca came to life in a very organic process. The owner, Awce, used to make cookies, brownies, and other simple comfort treats for his friends and family. After a lot of encouragement, he took his first step and launched a home business with one product, a box of mini brownies. Eventually, his home business gained so much popularity that demand outgrew his abilities. So, he put the concept on hold, rebuilt it as an official business with a team and large kitchen, and relaunched last month. With the relaunch, he also expanded the menu to include brownies, cookies, and his special chocolate crunch. Awce also introduced limited items from the test kitchen like the crack cheesecake which is on the menu right now. Lucky Manca also have an item on the menu called the Lucky Trio. It’s a box that contains all three of their main items which makes it a great dessert to take to gatherings. If you want to try them out, they’re available on  @bilbayt ,  @itslocals ,  @de...

  According to a source familiar with the project, Popeyes, the popular fried chicken chain, is opening their first location in Kuwait at the end of this month. I sadly don’t have an exact date, it was hard enough to get just this info from them. Tanmiah, the Saudi food company that owns and operates Popeyes in Saudi Arabia are opening two branches to begin with, one in Divonne Complex in Abu al-Hasaniyah, and the other in Sky Mall in Dhajeej. Popeyes used to operate in Kuwait until they closed down back in 2014, so it’s been nearly a decade since they were last here. The new Instagram account isn’t live yet, but I’ll update this post once it is.

Westcoast, Quarter-Pounder, and Little Cheeseburger: that’s all it takes to build a solid burger menu. Limited options, classic flavors and superior quality is what makes people queue for nearly an hour to grab our burgers! What started off as a temporary pop-up, has enjoyed so much success that we decided to roll it out as a full fledged, permanent brand! BBT is more than just a burger spot, we have entered the world of merchandise full throttle and are excited to see the all encompassing brand that BBT is becoming.

 Patti & More has been around long before smashed burgers became a TikTok trend, and they’ve now launched a new burger that pokes fun at the whole truffle burger craze.

You’re going to have to discover it for yourself (although the pictures might spoil the surprise The new ‘Not Truffle Burger’ is available via delivery, pick-up & V-thru.

  I’ve been a fan of A’s Chicken   since 2014 , so when they approached me for this promoted post, I knew it would be an easy writeup. I can’t remember how I first heard about them, but I do know their taouk sandwiches were what got me hooked initially. Since then they’ve kept improving, first with a major rebrand followed by an updated and expanded menu as well as more delivery locations. What I like the most about A’s Chicken is that I can have them when I’m trying to eat clean, but also on my cheat days, and that’s because they have both grilled and fried chicken options. They have grilled chicken and taouk platters, but you can also get the taouk sandwich which is what I usually order. If you’re craving fried chicken, then they have fried bone-in chicken, fried chicken sandwiches, and fried chicken wraps, popcorn and wings. I don’t eat bone-in chicken, but my wife and best friend both love the A’s Chicken one, and it’s become their weekly goto option since the boycott...
