Menu items for the delivery-only restaurant include the Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Wings, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, the Mac N Cheese Burger, the Crazy Cuban Sandwich and fried pickles, among other offerings. The eatery also features a handpicked menu with Fieri s favorite dishes, according to Flavortown.
There s no storefront for Outlaw Burger. No dining room for Monster Mac. No servers at Crave Burger.
The menu items for all three restaurants are made in the kitchen of Crave in downtown Akron. The upscale eatery partners with Nextbite, a company with a dozen delivery-only brands, in a setup commonly referred to as a virtual or ghost kitchen.
