Entering the scene with a unique angle, Wicked Cutz saw an opportunity to blend savory and sweet in a way that's quite frankly genius. The new partnership with Cinnabon is the perfect cocktail of innovation and consumer curiosity. They've mixed the comforting sweetness of cinnamon rolls with the rich, smoky notes of bacon. You don't get much bolder than that.
