Spice it up: Hot Chicken Blvd promises to bring the heat when it opens Monday, Aug. 5, in the Gateway on the southwest corner of UToledo’s Main Campus at Dorr Street and Secor Road.
Owner Jun Park decided to replace Rice Blvd with a restaurant that serves fried chicken, wings, tenderloins, waffles, salad and fries.
“Hot Chicken Blvd will have something for everyone,” Park said. “Make no mistake: This chicken will be hot.”
Heat levels listed on the menu include two that come with a warning: “Extremely hot” and “Holy!”
Patrons will be able choose from a variety of chicken sandwiches, including Southern, Hawaiian, mac and cheese, or build their own on a brioche bun or waffle.
Diners can select from several dipping sauces to go with their tenderloins and wings: chili mayo, ranch, teriyaki, tangy mustard, barbecue, and Korean hot and sweet.
Or stop by for waffles — including Nutella banana, strawberry and chocolate chip — topped with whipped cream.
“We think the University community will like this menu,” Park said. “We are excited to open and serve up some hot chicken and waffles.”
Hours will be Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
