Old-school rap icon Fat Joe has teamed up with American fast-serve restaurant White Castle to launch 'Joenuary,' a limited-time burger range that will be sold throughout the entire month of January.
"Im here to destroy your New Year's resolution," quips Fat Joe in a new Instagram post promoting the specialty menu, which will consist of four Joe-themed items: the Sloppy Joe Slider, the Smoky Joe Slider, the Spicey Joe Slider, and Sloppy Joe Fries. In addition, White Castle has announced that 'Joenuary' will be packed with surprise content, including Fat Joe trivia, poetry, and jokes.
“White Castle was a big part of my childhood. I always enjoyed eating their Sliders with my friends and family, so it’s a full-circle moment to partner with them all these years later in an unprecedented way," said Fat Joe in a recent press release.
