Old Chicago Celebrates the Windy City with Made-from-Scratch, Limited-Time-Offer 'Authentic Chicago Flavors'

Old Chicago – a division of CraftWorks Restaurants & Breweries, Inc. and the made-from-scratch American fare and beer authority known for its World Beer Tour™ and 110 unique, cold beers – just launched its latest limited time offer: Authentic Chicago Flavors that feature ultimate Chicago-style deep dish pizzas, calzones and a Chicago-style hot dog. The Authentic Chicago Flavors menu is available now through Sunday, May 22. In honor of these new, made-from-scratch menu items and in celebration of the Windy City, Old Chicago also plans to give away a four-day trip for two to Chicago to one lucky guest.
 
The Authentic Chicago Flavors limited-time-offer items highlight the quality ingredients Old Chicago restaurants are known for,  including three varieties of dough that are made-from-scratch daily in-restaurant, with an authentic Chicago twist:

• Ultimate Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizzas: Two vertical inches of mozzarella cheese, premium toppings and chunky Italian tomato sauce sit atop Old Chicago’s famous dough, hand-made daily in the restaurant. Guests can enjoy the classic “Chicago Seven,”™ an Old Chicago Signature, the “Chicago Fire” with extra-spicy-hot Italian sausage or the “Newcastle Ale Onion and Sausage,” with onions and sausage slow-cooked in Newcastle Ale.
• Calzones: Hand-stretched with Old Chicago’s famous, made-from-scratch-daily pizza dough and stuffed with fresh ingredients and melted mozzarella. The “Sicilian Trio” calzone with ham, salami and pepperoni and “Meatball Italian & Tomato” calzone stuffed with traditional meatballs, Italian tomato sauce and basil are both baked until golden brown and sure to become guest favorites.
• The “BIG” Chicago Dog: Nothing says Chicago like an authentic Chicago-style dog. This gourmet hotdog is made with a third pound Certified Angus Beef® frank on a poppy seed bun topped with yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish onions, Roma tomatoes, cucumber and sport peppers, served with fries or veggies and dip.

 
“Our guests expect the best in handmade, authentic dishes from Old Chicago, like we’ve been doing with our pizza for nearly 35 years,” said Mike Thom, Old Chicago’s director of culinary research and development. “These new Authentic Chicago Flavors showcase the best the Chicago culinary scene has to offer, including Chicago deep-dish pizzas, made-from-scratch calzones and a true Chicago-style hot dog, all made with premium, fresh ingredients and offered at a great price.”  
 
Guests also can enjoy two new refreshing cocktails that complement any Old Chicago dining experience, including the Lakeshore Lemonade made with Southern Comfort, Hiram Walker peach schnapps, lemonade and sour mix with a sugar rim, or the Chi-Town Tea made with sweet tea, Southern Comfort, sour mix and a splash of soda, garnished with a fresh lemon.
 
In addition to the limited-time-offer menu items, Old Chicago is giving guests the opportunity to take their authentic Chicago experience to the next level with a chance to win a trip for two to Chicago. Guests can swipe their World Beer Tour card or sign up for the OC-Connection e-club to be entered for the grand-prize drawing.
