California’s Hummus Republic Headed to Las Vegas | Eater Vegas

"A build-your-own Mediterranean fast-casual concept founded in 2014 and already a big hit at its two Los Angeles outposts, it emphasizes mostly plant-based choices while still offering chicken and steak for omnivores. Patrons can create pitas, bowls, or salads with up to three hummus, dips, and spreads—examples include tzatziki, olive hummus, and a zesty feta dip—then add proteins such as falafel or vegan beef, unlimited toppings, and homemade dressings. Other menu highlights include a vegan “earth Burger” with sweet potato fries and a tahini shake available in chocolate, beet, and spinach-mint varieties. The brand is rapidly franchising: a debut in Philadelphia is slated within weeks, and it has promised two Las Vegas locations and one in Reno, though exact Nevada sites and a timetable have not been announced." - Bradley Martin
