New ‘TFC’ Sandwich Will Be Available At All Bay Area, Calif. Restaurants
Curry Up Now, the nation’s largest and fastest growing Indian concept that is best known for its innovative Indianeats, will officially launch its new Tandoori Fried Chicken Sandwich at all Bay Area, Calif. restaurants on National Fried Chicken Day, July 6. The ‘TFC’ Sandwich, which has been in a soft launch phase since mid-June, features 48 hour tandoori-marinated chicken that is fried to crisp perfection and topped with bombay dust aioli, house made pickled onions, and a chutney of curry leaves, pineapple, and jalapeño on a brioche bun. The newest menu item will now be offered as a permanent menu item alongside Curry Up Now’s popular Tikka Masala Burritos, Deconstructed Samosa, Sexy Fries, Naughty Naan, and more.
“Our TFC Sandwich exemplifies what Curry Up Now does best – we take a popular American dish, like the beloved fried chicken sandwich, and infuse it with our own unique, Indian twist to turn it into something that’s unexpected and playful,” said Akash Kapoor, founder and chief executive officer. “It’s no secret that there’s plenty of heated competition when it comes to fried chicken sandwiches, but there’s only one place to get a Tandoori Fried Chicken Sandwich!”
