Now, what are the Hot Harissa Chips? Well, they’re these spicy snackables, which are the leveled-up version of CAVA’s pita chips with the iconic punch-packing flavor of the brand’s harissa. If you want to double down on spice and flavor, you can pair the chips with CAVA’s Harissa Avocado Bowl or the Steak + Harissa Bowl. You can also enjoy them with all the available dips and spreads of their own or as an alternative utensil for any CAVA bowl of your choice. 

Also, CAVA is dancing to the new season with the release of their first-ever music video of the early 2000s anthem, “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.” It was videoed, choreographed, directed, and produced by LA-based movement artist, choreographer, and filmmaker Erin Murray! Don’t miss out on CAVA’s new season anthem while enjoying some Hot Harissa Chips on the side. To beat the heat from its spiciness, you can add CAVA’s seasonal Strawberry Citrus Juice, which is made in-house!

Whew! That’s a whole lot of deals and new releases for the next few days! I bet we’ll never run out of lunch or dinner ideas. I guess I’m pretty excited about Applebee’s offer as a Buffalo chicken wing lover. I could just imagine getting 20 pieces of free Boneless Wings! 😋Also, I’m intrigued with Zaxbys’ Sauce Boss Box since I wanted to test Sauce Boss’ confidence over the brand’s sauce offerings.
