Chick-fil-A Rolling Out New Meatless Chicken Sandwich

Chick-fil-A Rolling Out New Meatless Chicken Sandwich

Chick-fil-A is the latest establishment to offer meat alternatives for its customers!

According to reports, the popular fast-food restaurant Chick-fil-A has plans to be more inclusive this year. A meatless “cauliflower sandwich” is being tested in three cities beginning next week. This new menu item is the chicken chain’s first-ever plant-based sandwich, which will imitate Chick-fil-A’s famous fried chicken sandwich. It’s important to note that, despite the sandwich being made from a “tender filet cut” of cauliflower that’s marinated and breaded in the chain’s seasoning, Chick-fil-A isn’t necessarily labeling their new addition as vegan-friendly because milk and eggs are used, seemingly during the breading process. The plant-based chicken alternative is pressure cooked and served on a buttery bun with pickles.

The company also disclosed to people with strict dietary restrictions that its restaurants don’t have “vegetarian-only preparation surfaces.”

If you’re still interested in giving Chick-fil-A’s cauliflower sandwich a try, it will be available on Feb. 13 for a limited time in three cities: Denver; Charleston, South Carolina; and the Greensboro-Triad region in North Carolina. The starting price is $6.59, but it varies by market, according to a company spokesperson.

It seems like plant-based meat options are becoming more popular. Burger King sells a vegan-friendly Impossible Whopper. In addition, the food chain has expanded into testing plant-based chicken sandwiches. Kevin Hart has also thrown his hat into the world of vegan/vegetarian food options. As previously reported, last year the comedian opened a 100% plant-based fast-food restaurant in California called Hart House.

In a previously released statement about his company, he said,

“I am THRILLED to announce that I have collaborated with an All-Star team of partners and industry leaders to create an industry-changing restaurant call “Hart House” (@MyHartHouse)! This thing is going to be HUGE! We’re going to serve delicious, sustainable food, that delivers “Can’t-Believe-It” Flavor in every bite!!! We’ll be opening our first few locations in the LA area, but we will be expanding quickly. Stay tuned for more!! #HartHouse#EatYourHartOut”
