Anyway you slice it, sandwiches are booming.
They're the biggest category at the top restaurant chains, with twice as many menu items as salads or burgers.1 Here's why:
- Patrons are less likely to cut back on dining out at lunch than dinner
- Sandwiches fit on-the-go lifestyles perfectly
- The popularity of premium sandwiches keeps going up—18% in the last year2
Bold flavor is in
We know bold better than anyone. Put some bite into house ingredients like mayo or ranch dressing, or fire up chicken with:
- Frank's® RedHot®, America's #1 hot sauce brand3
- French's® Bold 'n Spicy Brown Mustard
- Cattlemen's® Kentucky Sweet & Bold™ BBQ Sauce
