Uno Chicago Grill reprises LTO lobster menu
May 23, 2010
In light of last year's unparalleled success, Uno Chicago Grill is reprising its popular Best of Summer Starring Lobster menu to be enjoyed through the summer.
"The lobster menu was initially introduced last summer and guests enjoyed it so much, we decided to offer it again," said Rick Hendrie, senior vice president, marketing, in a news release.
The Best of Summer Starring Lobster menu includes:
- Lobster Roll or Lobster Wrap, both filled to the brim with the meat of a 1 1/4-pound Maine lobster in choice of traditional New England style, with mayo and lettuce, or with tarragon mayo, bacon and lettuce.
- Lobster Sliders, which are unique to UNO and stuffed full with Maine lobster, mayonnaise and lettuce.
- A hearty Lobster Mac and Cheese that combines chunks of lobster with a "way richer, creamier" macaroni and cheese.
- Lobster & Shrimp Scampi, sauteed with garlic, diced tomatoes and basil in a light white wine sauce.
The limited-time menu also features a special pizza offering, Lobster, Spinach and Goat Cheese Flatbread Pizza.
For non-lobster fans, Uno offers a cool Watermelon, Blueberry and Spinach summer salad that has only 230 calories. Also available are two new wraps: the Roasted Vegetable and Feta Wrap, with a whole wheat and flaxseed tortilla filled with roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, tomato, feta, lettuce, balsamic vinaigrette and a side of watermelon, and Grilled or Crunchy Chicken Whole Wheat and Flaxseed Wrap is filled with chicken breast, cheese, dried cranberries, lettuce and tarragon mayo.
"Since Uno is known for its deep dish pizza, there is also a Cheeseburger Deep Dish, a tribute to American summer barbeques everywhere," said Uno executive chef Chris Gatto.
The menu also features a selection of summery margaritas, coladas and lemonades, as well as Honey Moon Summer Ale and a variety of wine selections.Uno will also reprise a few of its popular desserts including its yummy Bread Pudding with a Salty Caramel Sauce, served warm with vanilla ice cream.
