MONTHLY NEWS AND UPDATES FOR THE FOODSERVICE INDUSTRY CANADIANS ARE FLOCKING TO NEW CHICKEN CHAIN L.A.-based hot-chicken chain opens first Canadian location DAVE’S HOT CHICKEN, the L.A.- based fast-casual chain, known for its Nashville hot chicken, opened its firstever Canadian location in Toronto in January. The timing is fortuitous, as consumers stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic have increasingly chosen to order chicken from foodservice locations over other food options. The fast-casual concept specializes in hot chicken tenders and sliders, offered at seven spice levels, ranging from ‘No Heat’ to ‘Reaper’ (which requires a signed waiver for those FOODSERVICEANDHOSPITALITY.COM who dare), and a variety of sides, including house-made kale slaw, creamy mac’n’cheese and crispy french fries. The Toronto location’s menu features items unique to Canada, with locally sourced craft beers and classic Dave’s Hot Chicken staples shaped around Canadian cuisine. The restaurant initially opened offering takeout and is available for online ALL HAIL THE QUEEN Another popular global fried-chicken chain is coming to Mississauga, Ont. ChickQueen is the Canadian master franchise of the Chicking family, which is currently operating in more than 20 countries with more than 180 locations. ChickQueen is a fully Halal quickservice concept known for its fresh chicken marinated in a trademarked blend of herbs and spices and served either fried or grilled. The menu boasts items such buckets of chicken, burgers, wraps, and chicken wings. ordering and delivery. Obelysk Food Ltd., which has extensive experience in the Canadian food-and-beverage and fast-casual industries, has signed a franchise deal with the brand to open 30 locations across Canada. “We were devoted customers before we got the opportunity to introduce the brand to the Canadian market,” says Blair Bitove, director of Business Development, Obelysk. “In just a few years, Dave’s Hot Chicken has established a cult and celebrity following across the U.S. with its craveable menu offerings and unique combinations of spices. We look forward to continuing that momentum across Canada and watching Canadians flock to the brand.” Co-founder and chef Dave Kopushyan, along with his three best friends, originated Dave’s Hot Chicken in early 2017. Kopushyan, a classically trained chef and selfdescribed spice freak, was inspired by the unique, flavourful spice of Nashville hot chicken and set out to create his own version. The brand is heralded as one of the fastest-growing restaurant concepts in history, with more than 200 locations under contract across the U.S. since it began franchising in 2019, with plans to expand across Canada. FH HOME-GROWN CONCEPT Toronto-based Paramount Fine Foods launched a fried-chicken concept last September. Krispo Chicken, operated out of Paramount’s location at 1585 The Queensway in Toronto, is a fast-casual restaurant focused on quality, local, farmfresh ingredients.
