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. It comes as plant-based foods are having a bit of a moment, with meat-like patties such as those from Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods and Meatless Farm Co. expanding distribution. Also, some food marketers best known for products in grocery stores have been expanding their brand reach by opening restaurants. Chobani and Nutella, for example, have their own cafes, and Avocados From Mexico is set to open a Dallas restaurant focused on avocados later this year.  But first, Sabra is looking to give hummus its moment in the spotlight.

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