About a month ago, I had the opportunity to review some of the newly added, freshly prepared, menu items at Chili's Grill and Bar restaurant! It's important to me to make sure my family is eating fresh, healthy food and that's why we don't go out to eat very often. However, when there are items freshly prepared instead of those ready-to-serve at causal restaurants...I'm all for taking the family on an outing every now and then.
As I posted in my review, we were sent a Chili's Grill and Bar $50 Gift Card to try out some of their new menu items. We were very pleased with the selection. I was worried fresh meant only salads, but to my surprise there were many yummy choices and a little something for everyone! The following are just some of the things we had to choose from:
* Asian Salad w/ Chicken
* Caribbean Salad w/ Chicken
* Grilled BBQ Chicken Salad
* Santa Fe Chicken Wrap
* Steakhouse Sandwich
* BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich
* Mini Tacos
Each entree is paired with an appetizer of your choice. For one of these entrees and an appetizer, the cost is just $9.99! We thought this was fantastic for the amount of food you receive!
Anyone who has been to Chili's knows their food is delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more of their new menu items.
Also, I had mentioned their Shout Out To Eat Out Contest and promised more info would be coming soon. Well...the contest has officially launched! All you have to do is go to ShoutOutToEatOut.com, upload a 10 to 30 second video telling Chili's why you don't want to cook tonight, and by doing so you will be entered to win a $50 Chili's gift card, which will be given away every day until August 30th, 2010!
Win It: I'm very excited because Chili's is offering one lucky reader a $50 Chili's Gift Card!
