New Menu at UNO Pizzeria & Grill

UNO Pizzeria & Grill

UNO Pizzeria & Grill, the iconic deep dish pizza brand, has introduced a new and flavorful menu for June 2022. The new menu features some highly-requested brand favorites such as the Lobster Roll, Cobb Salad and Deep Dish Nachos, but also brings new flavors to the table like the fresh Burrata appetizer and Bruschetta Chicken entrée. In a twist, the popular nachos return to the menu, but in a new form, piled high and served in UNO’s signature deep dish pan – appropriately named Deep Dish Nachos. Tortilla chips are layered with seasoned beef, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, salsa, banana peppers, olives and diced tomatoes. On a new front, Burrata joins the summer hit parade. This creamy mozzarella, drizzled with balsamic, is surrounded by seasoned tomatoes and basil, and accompanied by freshly toasted garlic baguette slices. Also added to the menu will be new pizza options. Availability will vary by location – some featuring the new Detroit-style pizza (8 delicious varieties) and others showcasing a duo of new summer pizzas: the Fresco Deep Dish and Broccoli Rabe and Sausage Thin Crust. The new Detroit-style pizzas have a light and airy thick crust, cheese baked to the edges and are topped with a hearty sauce. The Fresco Deep Dish is a veggie pizza with plum tomato slices, cherry tomatoes, caramelized onions, fresh basil and pesto sauce. The Broccoli Rabe and Sausage is a white pizza topped with mozzarella cheese. “We are so excited to announce our new menu this summer. We are always listening to our guests for what they have loved in the past, but also looking at currents trends to bring in popular items that our guests will be excited to try. This menu accomplishes both of these. We think we have a “mic-drop” menu with these new additions. ” noted CEO Erik Frederick. A full list of new menu items is as follows: - Lobster Roll – Classic lobster salad served on a buttery toasted roll - Lobster and Shrimp Scampi – Shrimp scampi with lobster added - Citrus Shrimp Salad – Grilled shrimp atop a greens salad with assorted veggies and mandarin slices - Burrata – Creamy mozzarella with seasoned tomatoes and drizzled with balsamic - Deep Dish Nachos - Tuscany Bread – Toasted ciabatta with pesto, cheese, spinach, and seasoned plum tomatoes - Cobb Salad – Greens salad with crumbled blue cheese, chicken, avocado, tomatoes, egg, bacon - Bruschetta Chicken – Grilled chicken breast with seasoned plum tomatoes and a balsamic glaze - Triple B (Bacon Blue Burger) – Burger with bacon, blue cheese and caramelized onions - Turkey Avocado BLT – A BLT with turkey and avocado on a ciabatta roll - Sliders and Fries added to the Lunch Menu About UNO Pizzeria & Grill Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation includes approximately 80 company-owned and franchised UNO Pizzeria & Grill restaurants located in 18 states, and the District of Columbia, India, and Saudi Arabia.

Bat Boy Found in West Virginia Cave 30 Years Ago; Americans Push to Make June 23rd a National Bat Boy Holiday!

Weekly World News

Weekly World News (WWN) celebrates the 30 th anniversary of its ground-breaking June 23, 1992 cover story “ Bat Child Found In Cave. ” WWN introduced the half-human, half-bat child to readers around the world, and its ongoing coverage has fostered a growing national movement to make June 23 an official National Bat Boy holiday! Weekly World News is celebrating the anniversary with a special tribute on its website. It all started in Pendleton County, West Virginia where Dr. Ron Dillon discovered this unique “creature,” who would become known as Bat boy, living in a cave in the Allegheny Mountains. Explorers captured Bat Boy, who was living almost two miles underground. Weekly World News' Bat Boy reporting went “viral,” spreading faster than any news story could in the days before the Internet and social media – it was a peaceful time. Scientists and reporters quickly learned that Bat Boy is a very skittish and elusive creature who is frequently on the run, often disappearing for extended periods of time. Bat Boy has been known to be quite tricky and unpredictable. He even managed to steal a vehicle and drive it at high speed, leading to a multi-state run with law enforcement in pursuit. When explorers discovered Bat Boy in Hellhole Cave, they estimated his age at around 10 years old. But further research has identified a genetic deformity that has locked Bat Boy in the very same age for the last 30 years. It seems Bat Boy will never age, however his intelligence and global interests continue to grow. Bat Boy has long demonstrated a keen interest in political and social issues which have thrust him into the limelight, as he has befriended and advised a range of U.S. Presidents and candidates for national office. Bat Boy’s political interests even led to an unsuccessful 2020 run for the U.S. Presidency. Close advisors admit that cryptid prejudices along with the candidate’s communications challenges and non-traditional demeanor posed major obstacles in the campaign. Dr. Ron Dillon, one of the foremost experts on Bat Boy, describes him as a “human-bat hybrid creature. His father was likely a bat or a creature heavily dominated by bat genomes, his mother, Susan Boy, was a human being. We have since traced Susan’s ancestry to passengers on the Mayflower.” Bat Boy's life has been nothing short of a whirlwind and even spawned an off-Broadway musical. Weekly World News does its best to keep readers up to date on his comings and goings. In the years since his discovery, Bat Boy has met Travis Scott, Elvis, Nelson Mandela, Frank Sinatra, every living U.S. President. He is adored by most celebrities – though given his reclusive nature, very few have been lucky enough to meet him. In anticipation of his run for president, Bat Boy abandoned his pagan ways and converted to Judaism and then to every other religion, seeking to play a unifying role for all people under his “Right Wing AND Left Wing” platform. He’s also had a busy and sometimes stormy romantic life, dating Farrah Fawcett, Jennifer Lopez, Jean Kirkpatrick, Cher, Kim Kardashian and more recently, Taylor Swift, but never really settling down. Bat Boy has no known offspring. Bat Boy has become a reluctant cultural icon and national treasure, who savors hiding in plain sight. He has been a subject in numerous TV shows and films such as The Simpsons, American Dad, The Boys, 12 Monkeys and many others. When Bat Boy isn't evading the paparazzi, law enforcement or government scientists, he apparently enjoys supporting his fans via surprise appearances in pop culture outlets. Recently, Bat Boy was knighted by the Queen Elizabeth and blessed by Pope Francis, and there are growing rumors about another presidential run in 2024 under his healing and unifying right-wing plus left-wing message. Leaders of the Bat Boy holiday movement urge all supporters to contact their elected representatives to voice support for a National Holiday to honor Bat Boy and his achievements and to demonstrate support for cryptids of all shapes and sizes. Supporters also encourage of Bat Boy themed apparel, some of which is coincidently available in the WWN online store! There are rumors that Bat Boy will be biking with President Biden today, but with Bat Boy, one never really knows.
