Nashville, Tennessee—McDonald’s Corp. is trying to hook customers in southern test markets, including one in Kentucky, on a new catfish sandwich. The chain is serving its newest sandwich in Bowling Green, Kentucky; Memphis, Chattanooga, and Jackson, Tennessee; Huntsville, Alabama; Jonesboro, Arkansas; and Columbus, Tupelo, Greenville, and Greenwood, Mississippi, said Jane Basten, a marketing specialist for McDonald’s in Nashville. The sandwich consists of a 2.3-ounce catfish patty, lettuce, and tangy sauce served on a homestyle bun. The company will evaluate the sandwich based on sales and supply availability after a six-week ad campaign ends in mid-April. “The advertising will be similar to what we’re doing right now with the grilled steak sandwich,” Basten said. “We will promote it to the fullest and see what happens.” The Catfish Institute, an industry promotion association based in Belzoni, Mississippi, is supplying the catfish. Catfish Institute director Bill Allen said catfish farmers, processors, and marketers are “very excited about this prospect for our industry. This is super good news. “But we don’t want to get our hopes up too much and start thinking this is going to be our salvation, because we already have a viable industry.” Allen said that catfish firms that remember earlier tie-ups with major restaurant chains such as Church’s Fried Chicken are cautiously optimistic about the McDonald’s deal.

A bicyclist filed suit against a truck driver, the trucking company, and the truck owner after being struck while riding with a group of bicyclists along the shoulder of a highway.

The driver who struck the bicyclist on the highway admits he “took his eyes off the road for a very short period of time,” but he denies driving in a careless or negligent manner that breached a duty of care. The driver says the bicyclist was also negligent and assumed risk when he rode his bike on the highway.

According to a police accident report, both the truck driver and the bicyclist were riding eastbound. The driver reached down to get a drink from his cooler. When he looked up, his truck had crossed onto the highway’s shoulder.

“The driver tried to avoid a collision but hit the bicyclist,” according to the accident report. The bicyclist, age 60, was transported to the hospital by helicopter and suffered serious injuries.

The bicyclist seeks damages for loss of income and future income, as well as damages for his injuries. The driver has asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit and award him his legal costs.
