San Antonio vegan chain Project Pollo debuts new concept offering real chicken on its menu

Alamo City-based vegan restaurant chain Project Pollo, known for its meat-free take on fried chicken sandos, has added real chicken to the menu at its flagship location. The downtown San Antonio store, now rebranded as Side Chicks, opened its doors Friday, slinging an assortment of real chicken sandos, nuggets and wings alongside the vegan options Project Pollo is known for. The decision to add meat to a previously plant-based menu may seem like a head-scratcher, but Project Pollo owner Lucas Bradbury said he's trying to ensure the business stays viable.
