LeBron’s pizza chain Blaze Pizza drops new ‘Hot Chicken’ flavor for fall

LeBron’s Blaze Pizza chain will unveil a new ‘Hot Chicken’ pizza flavor for a limited time.

Even though it’s starting to get colder just about everywhere these days, the pizza chain that LeBron James owns is turning up the heat on their menu by including a new menu item for a limited time: the Nashville Hot Chicken pizza.

According to a new announcement from the company, LeBron’s Blaze Pizza will be carrying their new Nashville Hot Chicken pizza starting today at all their locations across the country. The pizza features ghost pepper chicken meatballs, topped with a creamy, yet vinegary slaw to help balance out the flavor. It is also drizzled with Frank’s Red Hot sauce.

“When we began to think about what a Hot Chicken Pizza would taste like, it was critical that our version delivered a taste profile that paid homage to the unique flavor, crunch and heat of authentic Nashville Hot Chicken,” said Executive Chef and Blaze Pizza co-founder, Brad Kent. “What we created is a harmonious blend of taste and texture by combining spicy peppers with a creamy, tangy slaw to balance things out. Whether you’re a fan of spicy food, or just looking for a new culinary experience, the Blazin’ Hot Chicken Pizza is for you.”

Basically, the Hot Chicken is Blaze’s own riff on the very popular Buffalo Chicken pizza. However, this has the added element of freshness with the slaw.

LeBron’s Ladder company aims for rituals over resolutions

The Los Angeles Lakers star’s nutrition and health company is trying a new mindset for people looking to accomplish New Year’s goals.

LeBron James is always busy, whether or not his team is at the top of the Western Conference standings. Earlier this week, the Liverpool squad that he is a part-owner of announced a new partnership with his long-time legacy brand partner Nike. And one of his other endeavors is using the New Year to try to get people to think differently about their New Year’s Resolutions.

LeBron’s Ladder company, which is a nutrition company that James co-founded last year with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cindy Crawford, Lindsey Vonn, and LeBron’s personal trainer Mike Mancias, launched a “Rituals > Resolutions” campaign for the new year. Mancias is also part of a big promotion that Ladder is doing in February.

Here are more details of “The Challenge,” from Ladder.

The Challenge: To jump start that process of turning temporary resolutions into sustainable rituals, Ladder will be launching The Ladder Challenge on February 1 led by LeBron’s trainer Mike Mancias, who will offer a workout program that establishes new fitness rituals – things that anyone and everyone can do. More than a typical fitness challenge, The Ladder Challenge is about community and accountability, engaging its participants in unique and socially-driven ways with insights from the experts along the way.

  • 30-day challenge has both cardio and strength components
  • Mike Mancias will kick off the exercises and engage with participants weekly, following up with videos, social posts, and blogs
  • Participants can engage with others taking the challenge socially using #LadderChallenge
