Cheba Hut "Toasted" Subs

"The Arizona gourmet sub shop that has now gone national actually started at this Cheba Hut location on University & Hardy. The chain — founded in 1998 by Scott Jennings — has been a favorite for ASU students ever since, and everyone else must have liked what he was doing, as there are now 45 locations throughout the country. The self-proclaimed hippie sub shop has a wide array of fun subs, like the Panama Red (a take on the chicken marinara) and Acapulco Gold (Cheba Hut’s take on barbecue chicken). It’s rare to find homemade rice crispy treats, so be sure to grab some of the ones by the register." - Mcconnell Quinn

"Cheba Hut, a stoner-themed sandwich shop, will kick open the doors to its first Dallas location later this month. The restaurant is set to make its debut on Monday, September 21, according to a press release. The chain comes to Dallas by way of Tempe, Arizona, where it was founded in 1998. Diners can look forward to a slew of subs like the White Widow, a grilled chicken and veggie sandwich that’s slathered with ranch and named after an iconic marijuana strain. The sandwiches are available in three sizes — the nug, the pinner, and the blunt — all of which carry through the arguably over-the-top cannabis theme. Cheba Hut’s Dallas outpost will also boast non-alcoholic “Cottonmouth Cures,” a.k.a. sodas and Kool-Aid, and boozy cocktails like the Dirty Hippie, a mix of fresh cucumber, lemonade, and Deep Eddy Vodka. When Cheba Hut opens on September 21, diners can place their takeout orders via Cheba Hut’s website, or order delivery via DoorDash." - Amy McCarthy
