The growing fast-casual restaurant concept honeygrow is testing out a new Pesto Chicken Stir-Fry dish at select locations in Philadelphia.

Though honeygrow has locations in several major U.S. cities, the brand is testing out its new Pesto Chicken Stir-Fry in Philly before considering a wider release. The new dish features a base of freshly made egg white noodles [stir-fried](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stirfry-kits) with roasted chicken, grape tomatoes, snow peas, and baby corn. The whole thing is then tossed with a new basil pesto sauce and topped with shaved parmesan.

Along with the new Pesto Chicken Stir-Fry, honeygrow is also testing a new Noodle Soup in Philadelphia for just a limited time only. This tasty and warming new soup comes in Chicken Miso and [Shrimp Miso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-garlic-shrimp-scampi) varieties.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Stir-fry Innovation:** Restaurants can explore creating new stir-fry dishes with unique and unexpected ingredients beyond the traditional Asian cuisine staples.
- **Limited Time Offer Menus:** Fast-casual restaurants can test out new menu items and flavors at select locations for a limited time before considering a wider release, in order to gauge customer demand and prevent potential losses in revenue.
- **Noodle Soup Varieties:** Fast-casual restaurants can innovate on noodle soup by testing out unique and flavorful varieties that can cater to diverse customer preferences and dietary restrictions.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fast-casual Restaurants:** Fast-casual restaurants can differentiate themselves from competitors and attract new customers by offering innovative and unique dishes that are not available at traditional fast food chains.
- **Food Service and Delivery:** Food service and delivery companies can expand their menu offerings and provide customers with more diverse and convenient food options that cater to different dietary preferences and restrictions.
- **Food and Beverage Manufacturing:** Food and beverage manufacturing companies can innovate on ready-to-eat meals by offering unique and flavorful meal options that cater to different tastes and dietary restrictions.
