Jimmy John’s new Mediterranean menu is perfectly refreshing on a warm day
While some people might long to cruise the coastline and indulge in that flavorful food, the new Jimmy John’s Mediterranean menu brings a taste of those classic ingredients a little closer to home. From hummus to new Jimmy chips, there is an option to appease every craving.
The season often dictates the food on the plate. When the temperatures are sweltering no one is hungry for pot roast and stew. The long, sunny days are paired with bright, light, and refreshing flavors. Just like the farm offers a bounty of fresh food, the table is overflowing with those seasonal vegetables, zesty ingredients, and nuanced dishes.
When Jimmy John’s announced its new Mediterranean menu, the multiple offerings are more than just an one-off food addition. It is designed to capture that sense of adventure that is often associated with summer.
As Jimmy John’s Vice President of Marketing, Kate Carpenter said, “At Jimmy John’s, we want our guests to experience the flavors of the Mediterranean without having to pack their bags. Our new Mediterranean Wraps do just that – they capture the vibrant and refreshing flavors of the warm weather months, helping our guests savor every last bite of summer.”
What items are on the new Jimmy John’s Mediterranean menu?
According to the restaurant brand, the Mediterranean menu features Mediterranean Chicken Wrap, Mediterranean Veggie Wrap, and Pita Jimmy Chips. The food ingredient that unites them all is the Sabra Red Pepper Hummus.
Using the well-known, popular hummus brand is wise choice for Jimmy John’s. It is a flavor reference that guests know and love.
Additionally, it is smart that this Mediterranean menu features wraps. It fits with the theme and it helps to make a complete bite and offers handheld convenience.
The Mediterranean Chicken Wrap features Sabra Red Pepper Hummus, roasted chicken, feta cheese, olive tapenade, crispy cucumbers, thinly sliced onions, tomatoes, lettuce, oregano, basil, oil and vinegar. The olive tapenade is a nice addition. It adds a salt note without becoming overpowering. Also, the crispy cucumbers should bring some needed texture to the wrap.
The Mediterranean Veggie Wrap has all the ingredients above but omits the roast chicken. It is a great option for anyone who prefers a vegetarian option or just wants some variety.
Lastly, the addition of Pita Jimmy Chips with Sabra Red Pepper Hummus is a game changer for the restaurant brand. While many restaurants offer a chip or side dish with their menu, this item could be just a snack for some.
Although the Pita Jimmy Chips are a limited time offer, many guests would happily purchase this item all year long. Maybe if guests get behind this menu item, it will remain for a long time.
The Jimmy John’s Mediterranean is available now for a limited time. Check with local restaurants for availability and pricing.
