ATHENS, Ga., Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Saucy Southern chicken restaurant Zaxby's® is putting its own spin on an all-time classic: the Philly cheesesteak. For their Philly, Zaxby's is ditching the beef and instead featuring Zaxby's signature fried or grilled chicken, savory garlic aioli, and a combination of melted American cheese, grilled peppers and onions served on a toasted hoagie roll.

Key Points: 
  • "Philadelphia and I have a decades long history," said Dolph Lundgren, star of the new advertisements.
  • After all, the mere existence of the saucy new Fried Chicken Philly is fuel for some spirited debate about the reign of the Philly cheesesteak.
  • Undeterred, Zaxby's has brought the Fried Chicken Philly to the City of Brotherly Love via a series of boastful billboards, only in Philadelphia.
  • "This sandwich and campaign poses a provocative question: could we as Zaxby's take an iconic sandwich and make it better?"
