Fire-grilled chicken, charred broccoli and a cold, crunchy slaw in one bowl, with a thick slice of grilled Texas toast. Starting at Florida fairs and festivals, then anywhere on the East Coast.

The bowl

One bowl. Chicken or no chicken.

Every cup is built the same way. The only question at the window is whether you want the chicken.

  1. The slaw

    Purple and green cabbage with shredded carrot, tossed cold and crunchy. It sits against the hot food, so every bite has a cool side.

  2. The broccoli

    Florets charred on the grate until the edges catch. Every bowl gets them, chicken or not.

  3. The chicken

    Seasoned, finished over open flame and pecan smoke until the grill marks set, then sliced thick. Leave it off and the bowl is vegan.

  4. The toast

    A thick slice of Texas toast, grill-marked over the fire and standing up in the cup, for scooping up the last of the slaw.

  5. Your call.

    • Charred broccoli

    Prices can vary by event. The toast contains wheat; ask at the window for full allergen details.
The grate

Real fire. Real smoke.

The smoke you smell from three rows over comes off the grate, not out of a bottle. Here's what's under the food.

Chicken sideBroccoli side
Lava rock
Drippings hit hot stone under the grate and turn straight into smoke under the food.
Pecan wood
Dry pecan chips smolder under the grate all day, topped up every 30 to 45 minutes.
Two sides
Broccoli and chicken cook on separate sides with separate tongs, so the bowl without chicken stays vegan.
No liquid smoke
Not in the slaw, not on the chicken, not anywhere.
