Vegan fast-casual chain Native Foods has announced the launch of The French Dip, its first limited-time offer of 2022. The new 100% plant-based offering arrives in the form of a classic French Dip sandwich featuring a baguette bun, roast-beef style seitan, plant-based provolone, and homemade horseradish aioli. In addition, the sandwich will be served with au jus dipping sauce.
According to the company, The French Dip will only be available from January 14 to 28, where it will be served at all Native Foods locations throughout the country. As is the case with the brand's other plant-based burgers and sandwiches, customers will have the option to pair the French Dip with any gluten-free side. These include seasoned fries, sweet potato fries, a side salad, or steamed kale.
