As my colleague Mark Fisher reported today on DaytonDailyNews.com, Wayback Burgers will open a restaurant inside the Mall at Fairfield Commons in late fall.

Wayback Burgers will occupy 955 square feet at the center of the mall's food court, according to Kristie Miller, marketing director at the Mall at Fairfield Commons."

Mark passed the crickets and Slim Jim sticks news on to us.

The Connecticut-based chain released Oreo Mud Pie Cricket Protein Milkshake and Jerky Milkshake with a Slim Jim Snack Stick.

Sounds gross, but it might very well be good for you.

The cricket milkshake has 24 grams of protein. The jerky milkshake contains two Slim Jim Snack Sticks and 20 grams of protein.

Umm, yummy.

Crickets are one thing, but the rest of the eatery's food looks delicious.
