Favorites include #TheBlueHot with hot fried chicken, lettuce, pickles, blue cheese crumbles, and buttermilk ranch dressing; #Têtes-à-Cluck with rotisserie chicken, french fries, cheddar cheese curds and gravy; #OpenSesame with crispy chicken, crunchy slaw, Asian sesame BBQ, scallions, and mayo; and #CauliFire with battered and fried cauliflower steak, Chickery hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, and buttermilk ranch dressing.
