Chick-fil-A has banned one ingredient from its restaurants
By Sarah Sutton • April 11, 2016
Chick-fil-A continually tweaks its menu to come up with new dishes and cycle out old ones. The company employs six chefs, who work out of its test kitchen in Atlanta, to experiment with new ingredients for potential menu items. Chick-fil-A’s chefs are free to experiment with all kinds of ingredients, except for one: iceberg lettuce. Chick-fil-A vice president of menu strategy and development, David Farmer, has banned iceberg lettuce, which he calls tasteless and nutritionless.
