Chick-fil-A launching delivery kitchen in Nashville with 'hundreds of menu options'
Little Blue Menu is expected to open in Atlanta in 2022
Chick-fil-A is preparing to launch a delivery kitchen concept, which will allow customers to order from several virtual restaurants at one time.
Little Blue Menu — named after the menus at Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy’s original restaurant — will debut in Nashville this fall as a pilot program, according to Chick-fil-A’s recent announcement.
Little Blue Menu customers in Nashville will be able to order from three new virtual restaurants as well as Chick-fil-A.

According to the announcement, the three new virtual restaurants are called Flock & Farm, Garden Day, and Outfox Wings. Customers are expected to have "hundreds of menu options" from the four restaurants.
Though Chick-fil-A didn’t specify in its announcement what all those restaurants offer, the company did say that Flock & Farm’s menu has oven-roasted chicken and marinades made fresh in-house.
"The flavor profiles are fantastic," L.J. Yankosky, senior director of the beyond the restaurant team at Chick-fil-A, said in a statement. "The culinary team that developed the virtual restaurants is world-class, and the ingenuity they harnessed for each menu does not disappoint."
