"When it come to Zappetizers, everyone should try our fresh, fried tater chips. You can really tell the difference between these and regular bagged chips. Some love to pair it with our buffalo chicken dip. I really like the batter fried mushrooms with our dipping sauces. That's a really delicious side." Other Zappetizers include fried white Cheddar bites and onion rings. All of Zaxby's menu offerings are better when paired with one of the restaurants' signature sauces. "We have so many sauces to choose from," Blake said. "We have our classic Zax Sauce, which is a creamy blend of zesty spices and pairs perfectly with our chicken. We have everything from a hot honey mustard to sweet and spicy with ginger and red hot chili pepper. Some people go for the Insane Sauce because they are, well, insane. It's our hottest one. Our BBQ and teriyaki sauce are two favorites, too." Creating memories Blake understands the draw of a fast casual restaurant to folks needing to get in and out in a hurry. You can do that at Zaxby's, but Blake insists they approach dining differently than most in the fast casual restaurant business. "There are two things you think of when you think of fast casual dining," he said. "You think that 'fast' is the priority and that some things could possibly get overlooked in that process, but at Zaxby's it's not. We slice every vegetable fresh for the salads. Everything is really cared for and shown the attention that it deserves." From large catering orders to the drive-thru favorites, Blake said all orders get treated with the same care. "You might just be getting a meal deal," he said. "But a whole lot of people came together and put effort and love into that meal. Whenever I'm in the kitchen it doesn't feel like I'm in a fast food kitchen. It feels like I'm in a true southern kitchen where people are gathering to create memories that will last a lifetime."
