Could Sanborns, which is kind of like a Mexican Denny’s/Duane Reade mash-up, be coming to Manhattan? [Reuters via Mex in the City]

I was just in Montreal (where peas, french fries and gravy seem to work their way into all fast food) and Mexican cuisine was at the bottom of my to-try list. However, Ontario-based Mucho Burrito thinks there is a US market for a Canadian take on stuff wrapped in a tortilla…which is suspiciously similar to American stuff wrapped in a tortilla. [via Eater]

In a cultural exchange, we get a buttload of banh mi shops and Ho Chi Minh City gets its first Domino’s. Seems fair. Pizza Hut already pioneered Vietnam, though, and they serve tuna melts with pesto mayonnaise and crinkle-cut fries. [QSR.com]
