RESTAURANT MENUS GET INTO THE SUMMER SPIRIT

Chopt takes guests on a U.S. road trip; a burger at Dog Haus has Hawaiian beach vibes; Popeyes debuts another chicken sandwich; corn dogs come back to Golden Chick; and new riffs on pizza.

With the calendar flipping to June, restaurants are turingung their focus to summer menu promotions. Summer flavors and ingredients are showing up more frequently, but there’s also a more lighthearted, whimsical approach to the food and drink selection. Operators are playing up road trips, county fairs, beach vibes and summer’s more carefree days through their menu offerings. And the week wouldn’t be complete without a new chicken sandwich making its debut.
