ROY ROGERS ROCKVILLE OPENING POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING 2014(!!)

The planned summer 2013 grand opening of Roy Rogers in Rockville never came to pass. No official explanation has been given, but one real estate source tells me the restaurant may have been held up by a larger property dispute.

Roy Rogers has yet to announce the street address for the new Rockville Pike restaurant. But I believe it is in this retail building on the former site of Century Ford, across from Marlo furniture.

Stay tuned, but it sounds like we're in for a long wait.

HOSTESS ZINGERS REVIEW (VIDEO)

Hostess Zingers are back on shelves (I'm starting to lose track, but I believe I found Zingers at Walmart in Germantown), and I've given them a full review.

These are the Devil's Food variety. I've always been partial to the Vanilla flavor Zingers myself. Zingers don't have the following of Twinkies, but are favorites of diehard Hostess fans. All the more reason to give these new replicas a thorough evaluation.

MCDONALD'S MIGHTY WINGS REVIEW (VIDEO) SEPT. 2013

McDonald's Mighty Wings have begun to arrive in Montgomery County, just in time for football season. Watch my review to see how they rate.

These chicken wings have a crispy coating, and a Cayenne pepper zing. Sauces are just the usual McNuggets choices; I recommend Ranch and Spicy Buffalo.

3 wings will set you back $3.19, minus the additional tax.

The wings are scheduled to roll out at all McDonald's locations over the coming days.
