There's More Than Turkey in Store for This November

Well, we made it to the first week of November, and you know what that means: November New Menu Items! Am I the only one who hears applause after that?Anyhow, November is looking like more than just a prelude to Thanksgiving right now. Restaurants are dropping bold new items with flavors like BBQ and chipotle to break up the cranberry coated monotony of turkey season.Let's see what's on deck...

November New Menu Items

Boston Market

Boston Market makes the list this month with a bevy of flavorful new items. Offers include a Chicken Chipotle slider, featuring pulled rotisserie chicken with ranch dressing, chipotle sauce and pepper Jack cheese. A BBQ Meatloaf slider with sliced meat loaf, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, and Cheddar cheese. And finally, a Cheeseburger Mac bowl made with mac & cheese, pico de gallo, Cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce, and meat loaf. That's comfort with a twist!

California Pizza Kitchen

Our friends at California Pizza Kitchen are making a plant-based upgrade we're super excited to see. The new BBQ “Don’t Call Me Chicken” Pizza is topped with tangy barbecue sauce, smoked Gouda cheese, red onions, cilantro and Chicketts, a plant-based chicken substitute by Worthington Food Service made mostly of wheat gluten and soy protein isolate. I won't call you chicken, but I may call you dinner...

Donatos

Coming in strong, Donatos isn't holding anything back with a bold pair of new pizzas. The Pepperoni Bacon Duo features red sauce, smoked provolone cheese, roasted garlic, pepperoni, julienne Canadian bacon, hardwood smoked bacon, Romano cheese and Italian seasoning. The similar, yet feistier, Chipotle Bacon Duo Pizza comes with red sauce, smoked provolone cheese, julienne Canadian bacon, chipotle seasoned bacon, Asiago cheese, Romano cheese and Italian seasoning. If you can't decide, just get both of them. We won't judge...Also, Donatos has partnered with fan favorite burger restaurant Red Robin! At certain locations you can now order hot and fresh Donatos pizzas alongside savory burgers and thick-cut steak fries. That's a win!

The Salad House

The Salad House breaks onto our list for the first time with a punny new item. Their Crispy Mutha Clucka Sandwich comes stacked with a fried chicken fillet, barbecue sauce, iceberg lettuce, fried onions, Cheddar cheese and ranch dressing. Additionally, they're offering a Warm Teriyaki Bowl made with brown rice and sautéed spinach in a bowl with teriyaki glazed shrimp, red peppers, carrots, broccoli, onions and celery. I'm in for the food pun alone!
