Sonic introduces new
Blast options
* 3-Cheese Tortelloni Pesto:
Tortelloni filled with a blend
of ricotta, mozzarella,
Parmesan, onions and garlic
in basil pesto cream sauce
with garlic, mushrooms,
tomato and Parmesan.
* Roasted Garlic Cream
Tortelloni: Cheese-filled
tortelloni in light roasted
garlic and onion cream sauce
with zucchini, mushrooms
and spinach, finished
with MontAmoré cheese and
parsley.
" Our tortelloni was carefully
crafted to incorporate premium
cheeses and fresh ingredients that
truly make these dishes delicious, "
said Nick Graff, vice president of
culinary at Noodles & Company.
" While we tested other stuffed
pasta options, such as ravioli and
tortellini, we ultimately selected
tortelloni because no other option
could pack this much flavor. In
offering our most loyal guests this
anticipated dish, it was our goal to
overdeliver in every way possible.
In fact, our tortelloni not only
outperformed every other stuffed
pasta option in test, but it was also
our top preforming test dish in the
history of the company.
The pizza wars continue
Pizza's popularity has reached
new heights in 2020, as people
are working from home during
the day and eating out less in the
evening because of the pandemic.
That's prompted rival pizza chains
to get creative with their menus as
they compete for customers.
Yum! Brands' Pizza Hut
launched its Detroit-style
pizza and rebooted its stuffed
crust pizza. Pizza Hut was the
first major pizza chain to add
cheese-stuffed crust to its
menu back in 1995, setting sales
records that year, according to
the company.
Papa John's also added its Epic
Sonic is serving two new Blast
desserts that feature the flavors of
cheesecake. The Cheesecake Blast
swirls cheesecake and graham
cracker pieces into vanilla ice
cream topped with cheesecake and
graham cracker pieces, while the
Strawberry Cheesecake Blast adds
strawberries to the mix.
" Sonic magically perfects the
unmistakable experience of
indulging in decadent cheesecake,
with no fork or plate necessary, "
said Scott Uehlein, vice president
of product innovation and
development for Sonic. " With
high-quality ingredients from start
to finish, our guests can ... truly
capture the delectable flavors
of summertime. "
The new Cheesecake Blasts
come in Classic or Strawberry and
are available at Sonic restaurants
nationwide through June 27.
Stuffed Crust Pizza, as well as a
new Parmesan Crusted Papadia.
The newest menu innovation
has many people ready to place
an order. The Papadia has the
flavor of a classic Italian flatbread
sandwich. Parmesan cheese is
blended into the dough. The
signature, " never-frozen original
six-ingredient dough " absorbs that
cheesy goodness so that every
bite is bursting with flavor.
