This week on Nation's Restaurant News, the top story was “KFC puts its Country Fried Steak in the value spotlight.” KFC is leveraging consumer trends toward comfort food by shining a spotlight on its Country Fried Steak, which rolled out to the broader system earlier this month. For a limited time, the chicken chain is offering a Country Fried Steak Meal for $4.99, including crispy fried steak covered in white gravy, gravy-covered mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and a warm biscuit. Last week, it broke out an even bigger gun — offering its signature Mexican Pizza for $1 on July 28 only. The Mexican Pizza is one of the chain’s best-selling items.
