KFC to sell Beyond Meat's plant-based 'fried chicken' in the southern US

Consumers stand in line at an Atlanta-based KFC throughout the day to be among the first to try Beyond Fried Chicken, a plant-based chicken made in partnership with Beyond Meat, on Tuesday Aug. 27, 2019. (Beyond Meat said on Wednesday it will supply plant-based "fried chicken" to several KFC stores in Tennessee and North Carolina, after a test conducted last year showed strong consumer demand. While those companies have rolled out imitation pork or beef patties, Yum Brand's KFC is the first to launch plant-based "chicken." The product is 80 calories per piece and looks a bit like a fried chicken nugget, with a sinewy texture designed to feel like chicken. It will be available next month in dozens of stores in and around Nashville, Tennessee, and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Taco Bell's parent is buying Habit Burger as a way to break into the fast-casual industry

Yum Brands' $375 million acquisition of Habit Restaurants gives the owner of Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut an opportunity to break into the fast-casual industry at a time when fast-food restaurants are struggling. Habit operates Habit Burger Grill, a premium burger chain founded in 1969 with nearly 280 locations, including several in China. While the overall fast-casual industry has seen its traffic growth slow in recent years, it is still outpacing that of fast-food restaurants. Visits to U.S. fast-casual restaurants increased by 3% in the year ended November 2019, according to data from The NPD Group's Crest service. Habit will be Yum's first fast-casual restaurant acquisition since it went public more than two decades ago under the name Tricon Global Restaurants.

KFC tests chicken and donuts sandwich

KFC is testing a chicken sandwich held together by donuts in place of a bun. Customers have two options: a chicken and doughnut basket meal for $5.49, which includes chicken tenders or bone-chicken plus a doughnut; or a chicken sandwich for $5.99, featuring a fried chicken patty between two doughnut buns -- the much more exciting option. Or maybe they're just trying to capitalize on some of the chicken sandwich craze. If weird fried chicken sandwich combinations are your thing, KFC also created a Cheetos chicken sandwich over the summer. So this might not be the last of the chicken sandwich game we see from KFC.
