The husband-and-wife team, Deric and Brooklynn Cahill, behind Wicked BOLD Chocolates found the demand for their vegan chocolates so great, that they quickly outgrew their home kitchen and decided to open up a commercial production space with a charcuterie bar concept. Wicked BOLD Vegan Kitchen is set to open in April as the first sober bar in Dallas/Fortworth and the first vegan restaurant in the Flower Mound area.
Guests will be able to build their own vegan charcuterie boards using a selection of products from local, plant-based brands. Naturally, Wicked BOLD Vegan Kitchen will feature Wicked BOLD Chocolates, which promise to be perfect for enjoying with plant-based eats and zero-proof cocktails. The new concept aims to give people who are not vegan a chance to experience plant-based food in a fun way.
