Got the munchies? Finally California has something its been missing, a hip sandwich franchise that caters especially to hungry stoners, “Where the only thing fried, is the occasional customer,” as Cheba Hut’s motto states.
Cheba Hut already has several locations around Arizona and Colorado, as well as in Oregon and New Mexico. Its newest establishment has recently opened in the San Diego College Area at 6363 El Cajon Blvd. near SDSU. Known for their friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and healthy and delicious food, Cheba Cut is a big hit with the college crowd.
Cheba Hut serves up its signature “Toasted” Subs in three sizes: Nugs (4”), Pinners (8”), and Blunts (12”). The menu includes a long list of mouth-watering subs, all named for popular strains of bud. The bestselling White Widow has grilled chicken breast smothered in Cheba Hut’s signature “homegrown” ranch dressing, topped with mushrooms, bacon, and provolone cheese.
Other tasty options include the AK-47 (French Dip), the Panama Red (Chicken Marinara), The Kind (Turkey, Bacon, Swiss), or even healthy vegetarian subs such as Train Wreck (Feta Cheese) and Silver Haze (Hummus).
Each franchise also has its own signature sub to satisfy the locals. The San Diego location is home of the “Kali Mist,” a killer combination of turkey, bacon, avocado, pepper jack, and chipotle mayo. Pretty dank.
Each sub comes topped with lettuce, onions, pickles, tomatoes, and “special” house dressing as requested. Customers are given a choice of breads include white, wheat, or garlic “herb” bread which I highly recommend.
In addition to all the tasty subs, Cheba Hut also bakes its own “Incredible Munchies.” Stoned patrons can indulge their sweet-tooth with creations like the popular “Goo Balls” (an orb-shaped variation on the Rice Krispie treat with peanut butter, honey, and cocoa) or 100% legal “Hemb Brownies.”
Cotton mouth? No problem! Cheba Hut has red and purple Kool-Aid on tap to help wash down your blunt. Thirsty for something else? You can also get fountain sodas (Pepsi products), bottled water, Gatorade, or even home made iced tea.
Too lazy to walk or too stoned to drive? Cheba Hut’s got you covered! Since you can’t toke up in the restaurant, the Cheba Hut van can come to you. Offering catering and late-night deliveries right to your dorm room or front door, what could be better!?
Founded in 1998 by Scott Jennings at Arizona State University, Cheba Hut now has an ever-growing franchise community with immediate franchise opportunities in the majority of U.S. states. Its next franchise location will be opening in Iowa City, IA.
So the next time your stoned in San Diego, be sure to check out Cheba Hut. Although it won’t be very long before new locations start popping up around college towns all over the U.S.
