Fall fair season is upon us and Johnny Rockets is celebrating with the launch of two fair-inspired new dishes: new Funnel Cake Fries and new Pickle Fries.
Just as the names suggest, both of the new dishes are a clever twist on your classic French fry side dish. The new Funnel Cake Fries are essentially a bite-sized version of funnel cake, featuring long strands of fried dough topped with powdered sugar, and served with a side of chocolate sauce for dipping. On the other hand, the new Pickle Fries are a tangy creation that consists of pickle spears fried until golden brown and served with a side of Ranch dipping sauce.
Both the new Funnel Cake Fries and Pickle Fries are seasonal offerings available now through December 31, 2022.
