Tony Roma’s Brings Fans “Home for the Holidays” with Tasty Comfort Foods Packing Major Flavor

Menu Features Comfort Foods with a Twist and Invites Guests to Enjoy the Holiday Spirit

ORLANDO, Fla. – October 12, 2016 – Romacorp, Inc., the parent company of Tony Roma’s, introduces a new limited time menu featuring items showcasing Tony Roma’s innovative twist on comfort food favorites. The “Coming Home” menu features deliciously hearty dishes and cocktails with a splash of creativity, bringing taste buds back to where the heart is: home.   This special menu is available at participating U.S. restaurants from October 12th – December 20th and features mouthwatering dishes like “Not Your Mom’s Fried Chicken” and “Chocolate Chip Croissant Bread Pudding.”

“Tony Roma’s is the place that family and friends come to enjoy a fun time together, so for the holidays we wanted to showcase familiar American comfort foods but with a special Tony Roma’s twist,” said Jim Rogers, Chief Marketing Officer for Romacorp, Inc. “Few things in life are better than coming home and enjoying a family meal, but these dishes take that feeling to another level. Packed with flavor, this new menu conjures up pleasant memories of sitting around the dinner table during the holiday season with the ones you love.”

Start your meal by sharing the “Potato Croquettes”, a scrumptious appetizer served with flavorful lemon truffle aioli and balsamic ketchup. Fans who love Mom’s fried chicken will fall head over heels for Tony Roma’s new “Not Your Mom’s Fried Chicken”, featuring waffle battered fried chicken and roasted root vegetables. Rib lovers will crave the “Braised Boneless Short Rib”, paired with a decadent red wine mushroom sauce and delightfully fluffy mustard mashed potatoes.

Fans can enhance the holiday spirit by pairing these dishes with one of Tony Roma’s signature cocktails and delicious desserts.  Try Tony Roma’s new “Rat Pack Romatini®”, made with Grey Goose® Vodka and Bombay Sapphire® Gin, or say ‘tis the season’ with the “Cranberry Spice Romarita®”, a sassy new cocktail made with Sauza Gold® Tequila and fresh cranberries. And there is no better way to finish off a great meal than by enjoying the taste of the new “Chocolate Chip Croissant Bread Pudding”, a decadent sweet treat served with slow-churned vanilla ice cream.

In celebration of National Dessert Day on Friday October 14th, members of Tony Roma’s Email Club will receive a coupon to try the new Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding for free on their next visit to participating locations.  Fans not part of the email club should sign up immediately to get their free dessert by visiting www.tonyromas.com.

“We know home is where the heart is, so we wanted to let fans have a taste of that comforting feeling with this new menu,” said Chef Bob Gallagher, Senior Vice President of Culinary. “Every time we come out with new dishes, we take an in-depth look into what our guests love and crave, and we really hit a homerun with this one. You’ll leave feeling comforted, just like you had a home-cooked meal with friends and family, because that’s exactly what our goal is.”
