PNE 2017 New Food Lineup

While eating insects may be common across the world, North American audiences are still new to the “bug-du-jour” scene. If you are feeling adventurous and want to pack some extra crunchy protein in your diet, this burger is for you! Just like the name indicates: the chicken burger is covered in BBQ sauce and crickets. There is also a cordon-blue stuffed burger that is deliciously drenched in myriad cheeses and ham on a brioche bun. This handmade burger may be a safer, more cricket free option for those feeling less brave.

DBL Bacon Mac N’ Cheese Super Footlong Hotdog

A fair favourite, this hotdog is a modern take on a classic choice. With the addition of creamy mac n’ cheese and savoury bacon, this choice is sure to bring delight.
