It looks so much like the original chicken sandwich you're going to do a double-take.
On Feb. 13, Chick-fil-A will start testing its brand-new Cauliflower Sandwich in select stores in Denver, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Large pieces ofwill take the place of the chain's signature chicken and will be prepared in almost the exact same manner. The veggie will get the same marinade and will be breaded with the brand's signature seasoning. After that, it will be pressure cooked and served on a toasted bun with two pickle chips.
Chick-fil-A didn't take the development of its first vegetarian sandwich lightly. This prototype has been over four years in the making and the culinary team tested every vegetable imaginable."Our culinary team brainstormed and explored everything from mushrooms to chickpeas to chopped vegetables formed into patties, but we kept coming back to the cauliflower filet," said
, the Chick-fil-A chef who developed the item. Ultimately cauliflower was chosen because it was mild, which made it a great alternative to chicken.This appears to be the perfect choice for its looks as well: it irresistibly resembles the chain's planetarily popular chicken sandwich."Cauliflower is the hero of our new sandwich, and it was inspired by our original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich," said Chick-fil-A's director of menu and packaging Leslie Neslage.
Should the sandwich go national, vegetarians will be thrilled with the new menu option, but vegans will still have to look elsewhere. The chain is quick to include the fact this is a vegetarian-friendly sandwich, not vegan. Both milk and eggs are included in the preparation, plus, the chain does not, as of yet, designate vegetarian-only preparation surfaces.
