Sweet potatoes take center stage at BIBIBOP for National Sweet Potato Month

CHICAGO (WLS) — February is National Sweet Potato Month, and while many of us are used to enjoying this nutritious root vegetable as a side dish or in dessert pies, one Chicago fast-casual restaurant is making sweet potatoes the star of the show.

BIBIBOP, known for its healthy, customizable bowls, is taking sweet potatoes to the next level by incorporating them into their popular sweet potato noodles. Jun Kim, Catering Manager at BIBIBOP, stopped ABC 7 Eyewitness News to talk about the restaurant’s innovative use of sweet potatoes as the foundation for main dishes.

“Sweet potatoes aren’t just delicious, they’re really good for you,” Kim says. “Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, they’re a great option for anyone looking for a healthy meal.”

“What kind of food do you serve at BIBIBOP?” Kim explains that the restaurant offers a variety of ingredients from grains to proteins, allowing guests to create a bowl packed with flavor and nutrition.

“We’re also gluten-friendly,” Kim adds, emphasizing the restaurant’s commitment to accommodating a variety of dietary restrictions.

For those looking to try something new, BIBIBOP has also introduced some exciting additions to its menu this year, including fresh, seasonal options. And with locations throughout the Chicago area, it’s easier than ever to find a BIBIBOP near you.
