You have all heard me rave about Zoës Kitchen pretty much continuously over the past couple of years. They are my favorite lunch spot, as well as Ali’s. Her request for her birthday was to “go to Zoës with AJ and Gramamma.”
So that’s what we did.
A few days later, I had the opportunity to go to a tasting for their newly expanded menu (don’t tell Ali – she was at home asleep). It was so much fun!!
The new menu includes one of mine and Chris’ favorite appetizers, Hummus, which can be ordered by itself or on a Hummus Salad Plate:
The Hummus was perfect – very fresh (they make it on site), flavorful, but not at all oily.
They have a couple of new side items as well, one of which is on the above plate, their tomato-cucumber salad. It has Tomatoes, Cucumbers, White Beans, Tomatoes, and Onions tossed in a flavorful dressing, and is a wonderful addition to their already amazing salad choices.
The other new side item are the white beans, braised and warm. They were filling and tasty.
They also introduced a Club Pita, which includes grilled chicken, ham, swiss, lettuce and tomato. I didn’t get to try this, but it sounds awesome!
And, in an effort to offer more of a selection of “Guy Food”, they have added Steak Roll-Ups to the menu:
They were delicious!! The steak was very tender and easy to eat (I never eat fajitas or anything with large pieces of meat in a sandwich because I have a pet peeve about pieces of steak coming out of sandwiches and falling all over my face when I bite into them, but that didn’t happen AT ALL with these wraps, MUCH to my relief!!). They are super juicy from being cooked with swiss cheese and mushrooms, and come with a yogurt dipping sauce, which was a perfect match for the sandwiches.
The last new item on their menu are their House Baked Chocolate Chip Chunk Cookies.
After sampling everything else, I was going to save my cookie for Ali and Chris, but when they brought them out, they were still hot.
And soft.
And gooey.
And chocolatey.
And the size of my hand.
If you would like to try their new menu for yourself, they gave me ten free meal cards for the Steak Roll-Ups with your choice of side item!

I need a steak roll-up.
I have never eaten at Zoe's but I did see it by the picture place. It looks so yummy and I love Hummus. The steak wraps look so good. Thanks for bringing this to us.
I’m starving after reading about your trip to Zoës and it’s only mid-morning! I didn’t know there’s one of those establishments in Montgomery, AL until now. In fact I’d never heard of them before. I’m not physically able to go out to eat but I’ll tell folks who are that they should visit it.
I've heard GREAT things about their new menu items! Sounds like C and I may be making a trip to Zoe's for lunch fairly soon….and speaking of, we do too!

Didn't I tell you not to blog about food. This is so not fair. Zoës needs to come to Utah. The food looks delicious. I think I can smell it.
Just GUESS where I picked up dinner from on Friday! The steak roll-ups are heavenly. (So are the chicken roll-ups, just for the record.)
I could literally eat at Zoe's EVERY day. Not joking. Love it!
