1 day ago 32

Yesterday, SEGA and Secret Sauce Society announced that the blue blur will be taking over the WON Kitchen in Georgia for a time, converting it to a Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe.

Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe, the immersive, family-friendly restaurant pop-up, is coming to Chamblee, GA on Jan. 18, 2025. This iteration of the nostalgic pop-up will be the newest location of the exclusive collaboration between gaming brand SEGA and Secret Sauce Society’s Andy Nguyen, Kevin Seo and Phillip Huynh. This will be the fifth pop-up shop for the experiential restaurant and the first location in Georgia.

The bright eatery will make visitors feel as if they are walking into Sonic the Hedgehog’s universe with decor reminiscent of the iconic world. The menu features items based on the franchise such as Sonic’s Classic Chili Dog; spicy fried chicken Knuckles Sandwich; Piko Piko Tenders; and sides including Golden Ring onion rings; Fast Fries, an homage to Sonic’s speed; and the Green Hill Vegan Chili Cup. Drinks inspired by characters include the Blue Blur blueberry slush (Sonic); Smashing Echidna fruit punch slush (Knuckles); Team Dark mocha milkshake (Shadow); and the Sweet Amy strawberry milkshake (Amy Rose). Each Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe order will come in custom-designed packaging featuring everyone’s favorite characters, and visitors will be able to purchase Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe merchandise exclusive to the Georgia location, including T-shirts, hats and crewneck sweatshirts.

Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe debuted in San Diego, CA in July 2023, earning raving reviews and long lines from gaming fans and foodies alike. Since then, Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe has opened pop-up shops in Chino Hills, CA, Katy, Texas and a second stop back in San Diego in July 2024.

New menu items for the Georgia location include Rouge’s Kickin’ Chicken Sando with fried chicken, pimento cheese and special sauce on a brioche sandwich bun; Chaos Spear Fries topped with marinara sauce, pepperoni and cheese; and Drop Dash Cookies, decadent blue deep-fried Oreos.
