GILBERT, Ariz. — For any foodie fans of chicken dishes, Dave's Hot Chicken in Gilbert has been a popular destination.
Known for its hot chicken sliders and tenders, the fast-growing restaurant chain just announced new, meat-free additions to its menu.
Say hello to new cauliflower options.
On Jan. 8, Dave’s became the first national fast-casual restaurant to offer a cauliflower sandwich. To go along with the new sandwich, restaurant representatives said Dave’s will also offer cauliflower sliders and bites for a limited time.
In celebration of the new cauliflower options, the restaurant will temporarily change its name to "Dave's NOT Chicken." The Gilbert location will also change its exterior signage and have "Instagrammable" backgrounds with the new name.
“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.”
Dave's Hot Chicken was started in 2017 and has now sold the rights to more than 700 franchise locations in the U.S., Middle East and Canada.
