I am sorry to report this news, but the war is over.
We lost.
Yes, Chick-Fil-A has gone into full capitulation mode, announcing that they are making a new chicken sandwich without the chicken.
Chick-fil-A's newest sandwich ditches chicken for … cauliflower.
The aptly named "Chick-fil-A Cauliflower Sandwich" is being tested in three cities beginning next week, marking the chicken chain's first-ever plant-based sandwich. Imitating the chain's signature fried chicken sandwiches, the new offering uses a "tender filet cut" of cauliflower that's marinated and breaded in the chain's seasoning, then pressure cooked and served on a buttery bun with pickles.
"Guests told us they wanted to add more vegetables into their diets, and they wanted a plant-forward entrée that tasted uniquely Chick-fil-A," said Leslie Neslage, the chain's director of menu and packaging, in a statement.
First off, it's not "aptly named." Chick-Fil-A Cauliflower Sandwich still has Chick-Fil-A in the name!
Second, their guests asked for this?
If this is true, it's only because Chick-Fil-A insisted into expanding outside of the south and going to woke cities.
Now those woke cities have completely destroyed The Lord's Chicken.
Chick-fil-A's new sandwich goes on sale Monday for a limited time in three cities: Denver; Charleston, South Carolina; and the Greensboro-Triad region in North Carolina. The starting price is $6.59, but it varies by market, a company spokesperson told CNN.
The sandwich has been in development for nearly four years and was created in house by the chain's chefs. Stuart Tracy, culinary developer of the cauliflower sandwich, explained in a blog post that the chain considered using "everything from mushrooms to chickpeas to chopped vegetables formed into patties," but it chose cauliflower because it has a "mild flavor."
I am so SICK AND TIRED of cauliflower acting like it belongs everywhere. Cauliflower wings, cauliflower pizza, ENOUGH!
It failed at Cracker Barrel, it failed at every other fast food restaurant and now that it's finally dying out Chick-Fil-A is bowing to this absolute nonsense.
I don't even think the magic of Chick-Fil-A can rescue the idea of a cauliflower meat substitute.
This is such a tragedy.
