## Story

CAVA is testing a new Braised Beef protein at participating restaurants in Philadelphia and Atlanta.

The beef is slow-cooked and seasoned with a baharat spice blend before being braised with tomato, garlic, and onion. CAVA will use the market test to evaluate the item for a potential nationwide rollout.

The test follows several recent menu additions from the Mediterranean fast-casual chain, including the nationwide launch of Glazed Salmon. CAVA also recently introduced seasonal Strawberry Ginger Juice and limited-time Harissa BBQ Pita Chips.
