Los Angeles, CA, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Get ready to eat like a pop star. Ike’s Love & Sandwiches is dropping an all-new collab with Michael Clifford, guitarist, songwriter, and founding member of 5 Seconds of Summer, just in time for the launch of his solo album SIDEQUEST. And in true Ike’s fashion, we’re celebrating with a sandwich that’s big on flavor and dripping in sauce.
Introducing Michael Clifford’s SIDEQUEST (#1337), a fried chicken masterpiece layered with yellow BBQ, classic BBQ, orange glaze, honey, crunchy Voodoo Chips, Pepper Jack, and Ike’s legendary Dirty Sauce, all stacked on signature Dutch Crunch bread. Sweet, spicy, crunchy, and bold — it’s got major main character energy.
For a plant-based path to greatness, meet La Fufu (#3333), the vegan version of SIDEQUEST, featuring vegan fried chicken, yellow BBQ, classic BBQ, orange glaze, real honey, Voodoo Chips, and Pepper Jack. Two epic sandwiches, one delicious journey.
“This collab is all about love. Love for flavor, love for music, and love for doing things your own way,” said Ike Shehadeh, founder of Ike’s Love & Sandwiches. “Michael brought the vibe, I brought the Dirty sauce and together, we made a banger.”
