Tony Boombozz intros bourbon-inspired pizza
September 28, 2008
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Kentucky is known for fine bourbon, and September is Bourbon Heritage Month in the Bluegrass State. To honor Kentucky's bourbon tradition, Louisville-based pizza chain, Tony Boombozz Pizza is introducing Kentucky Bourbon Pizza.
The pizza will feature Four Roses Bourbon in its recipe and was developed in collaboration with Four Roses' Master Distiller Jim Rutledge.
The Kentucky Bourbon Pizza's features bourbon-flavored barbecue sauce, hickory-grilled chicken, smoky bacon, roma tomatoes and red onions. For a stronger taste of Kentucky, customers can order extra bourbon-barbecue sauce or a "shot" of sauce on the side for dipping.
The inspiration for the first-ever Kentucky Bourbon Pizza came one night during a bartending competition organized by Four Roses where Tony Boombozz founder Tony Palombino, a self-proclaimed bourbon fanatic, had been asked to serve as judge.
"As I was introducing Tony as one of our judges, I hinted that a bourbon-flavored pizza should be his next big creation," Rutledge said. "It wasn't long after the event that Tony was experimenting with Four Roses in his recipes."
The Kentucky Bourbon Pizza will also be featured as the ‘Anniversary Pizza' during Tony Boombozz' 10th Anniversary Celebration in October.
