Drake-Backed Restaurant Dave’s Hot Chicken Debuts Cauliflower Sandwich
Dubbed the “Dave’s NOT Chicken.”
Dave’s Hot Chicken is officially introducing its first non-meat option: a Cauliflower sandwich.
Dubbed the “Dave’s NOT Chicken” item, the newest menu option is available as Cauliflower Sliders and Bites — making Dave’s the first national fast casual restaurant to offer this type of menu item. Each slider is packed with a fresh, whole head of cauliflower that’s hand-sliced, seasoned and then fried to order, and uses the same spices that makes Dave’s hot chicken a favorite.
“For years, our fans have been asking us to make a meatless option that has all the flavor, crunch and spice of our Hot Chicken,” said Bill Phelps, Dave’s Hot Chicken’s CEO. “After spending weeks in the test kitchen testing countless different products, just like the founders did back in the parking lot pop-up days, we’ve created a meat-alternative that’s so tasty, even our most dedicated Hot Chicken loyalists will want to try it.”
The Cauliflower Sliders and Bites will be available in over 170 locations across North America, and will be offered for a limited time only.
In 2022, Dave’s Hot Chicken was named America’s fastest-growing restaurant, with an early investment from Drake only increasing its following.
