CAVA recently ran its first-ever Guest Custom Contest and now three of those custom bowls have made it to the brand's digital menu.
The Guest Custom Contest aimed to highlight the creativity of CAVA customers and encourage guests to experiment with CAVA's wide range of offerings. Now, three creative guests will have their creations available for everyone to try. From May 20th until June 2nd, customers can order Jonathan’s custom bowl, Chloe's custom bowl, or Nat's customer bowl from the digital menu. Jonathan’s custom bowl features tasty toppings like braised lamb, two scoops tzatziki, and a yogurt dill dressing, while Chloe’s go-to bowl features roasted eggplant, chicken, and saffron basmati rice. Finally, Nat’s “scientifically-proven” best custom bowl features half grilled chicken and half roasted veggies, along with tasty toppers like fiery broccoli.
