PDQ
PDQ, or People Dedicated to Quality,
is opening in July its first location in
New York after a longtime stance in
Florida, with other locations scattered
across the country.
The restaurant will offer dine-in,
drive-thru and catering options as
well as many different sandwiches,
salads and bowls made to order. The
menu features a variety of meats and
menu items free of hormones and
steroids. Its goal is to take away the
harmful additives to add to the flavor
and quality of the food.
There are many different sandwich
options all served on toasted brioche
buns, including popular favorites
such as the pimento crunch and
the grilled hawaiian sandwich
($5.99-$8.99).
