The beloved Southern fast-food restaurant is stepping into a whole new category.

Chick-fil-A’s hero food is the chicken sandwich.

There are no ifs, ands, or buts about that.

And for that matter, their chicken biscuit is the hero of many a morning meal, too.

“What really matters is we want to have a menu of choice for our customers.

“So it was really born out of a customer need.

They want new flavor, new variety.

In fact, product development testing for this new sandwich began more than four years ago, in 2018.

“We’re more interested in things that are long lasting, evergreen.

“This idea that people want more vegetables in their diet is clearly a more long-lasting thing.”

He continued, “We’re all abouta menu of choice.

We want to meet people where they are.

If you want to eat chicken, greatwe have that in spades.

If you want to try kale for the first time, we have a thing for you.

What Does the New Chick-fil-A Cauliflower Sandwich Taste Like?

In other words, they’re virtually identical, in all but that one significant way.

I found the patty incredibly juicy and actually more tender than the classic chicken filet.

Final verdict:If you’re a flexitarian eater or just vegetable curious, this is something worth trying.

However, this is not a vegetarian-friendly entree.

Due to the cooking environment, Chick-fil-A is not giving the sandwich that label.
