MINNEAPOLIS, June 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Famous Dave's
is pleased to announce a partnership with Beyond Meat and will
be launching a test of plant-based protein menu
items in mid-August. The test will roll out initially
in five locations, four throughout Colorado and one in Minneapolis, MN.
"For 25 years, our menu has included meat alternative options.
In listening to our fans, we see tremendous opportunity to cater to
their evolving palates and look forward to expanding the menu even
further," said Jeff Crivello, CEO of Famous Dave's. "We remain
committed to continued menu innovation and look forward to
exploring delicious plant-based options for our guests."
The Famous Dave's culinary team has gone through months of
testing, experimenting with different recipes and ingredients. The
savory Beyond Meat test menu items will include a BBQ Slider, BBQ
Taco and a BBQ Bowl.
"We've been busy in the test kitchen experimenting with
plant-based meat options, working to find solutions in line with
the quality our Famous Dave's guests have come to expect and we are
extremely happy with the quality of Beyond Meat," said Sylvia Matzke-Hill, Culinary Director. "It's
important that the new items fit in perfectly with the rest of our
award-winning and fan favorites and we believe that the new options
will do just that."
This collaboration between Famous Dave's and Beyond Meat marks a
milestone for the restaurant as the first time that they have
tested plant-based protein options. The test will launch in select
stores with the intention of being deployed throughout the Famous
Dave's network in the fall of 2019.
