ONE RECENT WEEKEND, in a Manhattan warehouse whose lighting wasn’t doing anyone any favors, I nearly knocked over a tub of M&M’s while trying on a $27 jacket. I passed a rack of Spider-Man costumes en route to fishing a pair of jeans out of a towering stack. While other fashion editors were attending runway shows in Milan, blowing air kisses and clinking Champagne coupes, I was pawing at six-packs of T-shirts beside a fridge filled with breaded chicken fingers.

Chick-fil-A is offering a twist on its classic filet with the honey pepper pimento chicken sandwich. The seasonal offering is complemented with a new caramel crumble shake, so I tried both. I was skeptical of the sandwich, which was better than I expected, but the original's still the best. Get the inside scoop on today’s biggest stories in business, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley — delivered daily. My skepticism was further heightened at the notion of putting pimento cheese – which is typically served in a cold sandwich – on top of a piping hot filet of fried chicken.

The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, available in restaurants August 28, takes a hand-breaded chicken filet and pairs it with a pimento cheese spread, pickled jalapeños, and a bun drizzled with honey. "We wanted to create a standout sandwich that would deliver a unique spin for our guests, without losing the classic taste of the Original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich," Stuart Tracy, Chick-fil-A Chef and creator behind the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, said in a statement.

Chick-fil-A is adding a new spin on its iconic chicken sandwich to menus for a limited time. Starting Aug. 28, customers can buy the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich at the chicken chain's restaurants nationwide, while supplies last. But the limited release of the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich shows how the chain is shifting its menu strategy as it expands nationwide. The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich was a project five years in the making, according to Stuart Tracy, Chick-fil-A's principal culinary lead. The chain tested the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich in 2020 in Asheville, North Carolina, and upstate South Carolina.

[1/7] Nadine, a 43-year-old tourist from the U.S., wearing a sumo wrestler costume, tries to spar against former sumo wrestler Towanoyama on the sumo ring before tourists from abroad, at Yokozuna Tonkatsu Dosukoi Tanaka in Tokyo, Japan June 30, 2023. Beneath its vaulted roof is a sumo ring and 14 tables where patrons pay 11,000 yen ($76) to eat breaded pork cutlets before watching - and joining - the action. Another former sumo wrestler, Yasuhiro Tanaka, started the restaurant after founding a company to give ex-wrestlers a second career as actors in commercials and movies. "But no, it was really, really amazing." "As sumo wrestlers, we couldn't really play around at all," said Tanaka, 47, who admitted he wasn't a particularly strong competitor.

☆ Salmonella in Breaded Raw Chicken Is Target of USDA Crackdown

The USDA’s move is part of a broader effort to contain salmonella, a cause of foodborne disease. Photo: NIH/Universal Images Group/Getty ImagesWASHINGTON—The Agriculture Department proposed new rules Tuesday aimed at minimizing salmonella outbreaks from some breaded chicken products, a move the industry said could significantly affect availability and price. Part of a broader effort to contain salmonella, the new proposal takes aim at breaded, stuffed raw chicken products, such as frozen chicken cordon bleu. Because these products are often prebrowned, consumers might mistakenly think they are cooked, leading to consumption of undercooked chicken, the USDA said.

☆ Buffalo Wild Wings joked that its 'hamburgers contain no ham' after being sued over its boneless wings – which aren't actually wings

A customer filed a lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings over its boneless wings not actually being wings. The chain admitted that its boneless wings are all white meat and its hamburgers "contain no ham." Boneless wings are typically made from chunks of chicken breast meat. Buffalo Wild Wings, which has more than 1,200 restaurants worldwide, responded to the lawsuit with a sarcastic tweet on Monday. Buffalo Wild Wings' menu says that the boneless wings are made from "juicy all-white chicken" which is marinated in spices and then breaded.

☆ Chick-fil-A will test a cauliflower sandwich in its first plant-based pilot
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-09 | by ( Amelia Lucas | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Chick-fil-A is making its cauliflower sandwich the same way as its original chicken sandwich. Chick-fil-A will test its first plant-based entree: a cauliflower sandwich. The new sandwich closely resembles its famous chicken sandwich, but uses breaded and pressure-cooked cauliflower in place of meat. Chick-fil-A said it's been working on a plant-based sandwich for nearly four years, right around when chains like Dunkin' and Restaurant Brands International's Burger King were putting Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods substitutes on their menus. Buffalo Wild Wings and countless bars serve fried cauliflower smothered in buffalo sauce as an alternative to chicken wings.

☆ Chick-fil-A just unveiled a fried cauliflower sandwich that took 4 years to develop — and it's nothing like the plant-based fast food at rivals like McDonald's

Plant-based meat sales growth has flattened over the last several months. But, Chick-fil-A is debuting a cauliflower sandwich in three US markets next week. Next week, the Atlanta-based fried chicken chain plans to introduce its first plant-based meal, the Chick-fil-A Cauliflower Sandwich. Chick-fil-A's vegetable sandwich test also comes as demand for plant-based meats has slowed, prompting layoffs at Impossible Foods. "We explored every corner of the plant-based space in search of the perfect centerpiece for our plant-forward entrée," Stuart Tracy, culinary developer of the cauliflower sandwich, said in a statement.

☆ Chicken prices are finally falling and it's triggering a resurgence of fast-food chicken sandwich wars

Executives at Burger King and McDonald's praised sales growth driven by chicken menu items. On November 15, Popeyes released its new Blackened Chicken Sandwich, which is not breaded and is seasoned with Cajun and Creole spices. The sandwich chain is explicitly promoting the new sandwich as "reigniting the chicken sandwich wars," which started with the 2019 release of the Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich. The chain further took advantage of reduced chicken prices with a BOGO chicken sandwich deal over Black Friday weekend. Chicken, including the spicy chicken sandwich and McNuggets, has been a "strong growth driver" for McDonald's, CEO Chris Kempczinski told investors in October.
