"charlie brown" news and stories

From the return of the Jack in the Box Bonus Jack burger to a Foursquare deal from Dunkin' Donuts, here's a round-up of fast-food tidbits from today's Nation's Restaurant News:

C'mon back, Jack: The double cheeseburger with "special sauce" that Jack in the Box debuted in the 1970s is back on the menu. The Bonus Jack returns, alone and in a Jack in the Box $3.99 meal deal with fries and a drink.

Bruegger's Says "Tomato": Back for a limited time only is Bruegger's Bagel Bakery's lunch combo of a Four Cheese Panini and Fire Roasted Tomato Soup. They're also bringing back their Cinnamon Roll bagel for sweets lovers.

Dunkin's Foursquare Deal: Check in from a single Dunkin' Donuts location via Foursquare six times and get a free donut. The program has just been launched at Florida locations.

So Long, Charlie? After 29 of CB Holdings restaurants were closed (which include Charlie Brown's and Bugaboo Creek Steak House), CB has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. However, it's reported the remaining restaurants will stay in business.

Ladies and gentlemen, shut down the Michigan borders. A 450 pound pumpkin has gone missing.

Bill Teer of Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, spent five months growing a great pumpkin of Charlie Brown proportions. It was stolen from his yard during the night last Thursday, as his wife discovered when she left for work at 5:30am. He's offering a $200 reward and hopes someone will find it.

"You can't miss the thing," says Teer. No joke!

We're still waiting for a series of ransom notes with a couple of seeds enclosed in each letter. Truly, we wish Mr. and Mrs. Teer luck and hope it's just someone playing a practical joke. Perhaps a giant jack-o-lantern will appear on their doorstep on Halloween!
