While [grain and veggie bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-bowls1) may be the hottest dish at some restaurants, [Bojangles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bojangles-breakfast-bowl) is offering a more carnivore-centric take on the phenomenon with its new Pulled Pork Bowl. Instead of quinoa and spouts, this hearty bowl is made with a savory blend of pulled pork and pinto beans.

The new Pulled Pork Bowl is a pipping hot dish that consists of Bojangles’ Cajun Pinto beans drenched in a special Sweet-n-Smoky sauce. On top of the beans sits a hefty portion of BBQ pulled pork and a scoop of creamy coleslaw. The bowl also comes with one of the chain's signature scratch-made buttermilk biscuits to round out the meal.

For those looking for a way to keep warm this winter, Bojangles's savory Pulled Pork Bowl is a delicious solution.
