In other food news, Subway announced four new wraps hitting their menu. The new wraps feature a lavash-style flatbread that will replace the chain’s current tortillas and Artisan Flatbread starting on April 11th. The four next kinds of wrap that have been unveiled include Homestyle Chicken Salad, Honey Mustard Chicken, Cali Caprese, and Turkey, Bacon, and Avocado.

“Wraps have become an afterthought on restaurant menus with uninspiring choices and snack-size portions that leave you wanting more,” said Paul Fabre, Senior Vice President of Culinary and Innovation. “That insight kickstarted the process of revamping Subway’s wraps. We spent over a year creating signature recipes with unique ingredients that bring out the best in our new lavash-style flatbread, and also fuel you up without weighing you down.”
