Sabra to open 'Whirled Peas,' a pop-up restaurant aiming to expand hummus usage beyond dips

Sabra is opening its own restaurant for a few weeks, with a rotating menu from well-known chefs, as it tries to expand consumption of the chickpea dip. The restaurant is named Whirled Peas, a spin on the main ingredient, the process of making hummus—which blends chickpeas with tahini, oil, and herbs—and world peace. The pop-up restaurant is taking over the West Village space occupied by Einat Admony’s couscous-centric restaurant Kish-Kash with its own decor and menu showcasing dishes from different cultures. It’s Sabra’s biggest experiential marketing push to date.

The company has been promoting dishes such... Continue reading at 'Advertising Age'
