VISIT MIDTOWN YOGA BB’S CRISPY CHICKEN Expertly-crafted chicken sandwiches and flavorful sides from the mind of chef Ashley Christensen are coming to locations across the Triangle! We have one true love at BB’s: the crispy chicken sandwich. Inspired by the fried chicken recipe that chef Ashley Christensen has perfected over the course of her career cooking in the South, the BB’s crispy chicken sandwich is simple but delicious, with high-quality, fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Each sandwich starts with a golden-brown, shatteringly crispy fried chicken breast on a locally-made fresh brioche bun with a swipe of mayo. Choose from our different sandwiches, including five signature offerings and four hot list selections, which build on this crispy chicken foundation. Each one is designed to highlight chef Ashley’s favorite fried chicken pairings, from punchy pickles to chile-spiced heat. Add magically seasoned sides, housemade sauces, dunkers, shakes, and more to complete your meal! VISIT BB'S CRISPY CHICKEN GRIT BOX 45 minutes. 6 Rounds. 0 Experience Necessary.

Joe wanted to take the experience of joy and health that he receives from physical activity and share that gift with the world through CARV’s virtual platform. The CARV Fitness program includes produced on demand workouts, twice weekly live workouts, weekly live yin yoga to recover, and a monthly live cook along with the best chefs from all over the US. All Live events are recorded and then placed in the online library with the pre-produced classes. A portion of all CARV Fitness proceeds go back to the community.
