Chain Links: Cajun Grilled Onions
No secret to me, chain restaurants have been loving Manhattan lately. I can’t say I’m too excited by self-service yogurt (Menchie’s) or more burgers (Elevation Burger and Counter) but I am looking forward to Peruvian chef, Gastón Acurio’s La Mar Cebichería even if it’s going to be a flashy behemoth.

Localizing a menu doesn’t always have to involve border crossing. Smashburger’s first Louisiana location will attempt to cater to regional tastes. What exactly makes a burger Cajun? “American cheese, applewood smoked bacon, Cajun grilled onions, remoulade sauce, lettuce and tomato on an egg bun,” it would seem. [Fast Casual]
One hundred UK KFC’s went halal last year, and not everyone has been happy. Bacon-lovers went as far as creating a Facebook page, “No Halal at Colne KFC.” Five locations have gone back to serving pork and killing chickens like they used to. [Daily Mail]
