Sullivan's Steakhouse PINK Menu Review

October isn’t over yet- and if you haven’t done your part to support breast cancer awareness and research, now is the time, and get a good meal as well!

Get yourself to Sullivan's Steakhouse where precise menu has been put to use specifically for breast cancer awareness. Amazing chicken, shrimp, steak with delicious sides and desserts along with the wedge salad are just one of the ways that you can deliciously help out this October.

 

Sullivan’s Steakhouse of King of Prussia (and other locations) is thrilled to offer their Pink Menu this October for the fourth year in a row. Throughout this month, guests can dine on this mouth-watering $39.95 three-course prix fixe. Five dollars from each Pink Menu purchased will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. to raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer.

“We are very pleased with the continued support of Sullivan’s Steakhouse and the Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group towards the fight against breast cancer. The funds raised from October’s Pink Menu will have a direct positive impact on our mission and breast cancer education efforts,” said Janelle Hail, CEO and Founder of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Sullivan’s Steakhouse has assembled its most delicious, most mouthwatering items for customers to enjoy for its Pink Menu. Guests have a choice of four starters including Wild Mushroom Bisque with Chive Infused Oil and Sullivan’s famous Iceberg Wedge Salad.

For the main course, guests can choose from Filet Mignon, Cajun Dusted Salmon Fillet with Truffle-Red Pepper Chili Butter, Roasted Chicken Breast with Wild Mushroom-Madeira Ragout and Crab Stuffed Shrimp with Chive Beurre Blanc along with a choice of the signature sides: the Horseradish Mashed Potatoes, Crab Fried Rice or Skillet Steak Mushroom Caps. Dessert options are New York Style Cheesecake, Bananas Foster Bread Pudding, Key Lime Pie and Warm Chocolate Brownie Cake.

 

My guest and I enjoyed the wedge salad and the mushroom soup- so creamy, light and fresh, and then on to the main course, the filet and the rosted chicken with mushroom. These flavors were rich and satisfying, all very good comfort food for October. Along with the green beans and the horseradish mashed potatoes, this dinner was a feast for the senses.

Sullivan’s Steakhouse and its sister restaurant Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House both establish strong roots in each city they call home, and have always valued being an active part of the community and an eager supporter of local charities.

The Pink Menu is available for dinner nationwide at all 19 Sullivan’s Steakhouse locations. In addition, Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group and the National Breast Cancer Foundation will continue to collaborate on their joint educational partnership, designed to raise awareness about breast cancer to both employees and consumers alike.

1st Annual Beerfest Royale was a Rousing Success

The King of Prussia Beerfest Royale might have been a few days ago, but the heady scent of pumpkin beer lives on. Luckily, it’s October and the season’s best beers are readily available, from Wegman’s to the corner beer haus.

The kick off the feeling of fun in everyone’s hearts, the King of Prussia District (KOP-BID) in association with Rolling Barrel Events presented its first ever King of Prussia Beerfest Royale Saturday October 6 with a preview party October 5.

 

The event was held outside-with gorgeous weather- in a smaller lot across from the court. Lots of happy people enjoying the weather, the food and the beer made for a great weekend. The event Saturday was divided into two sessions, where people could enjoy their beer in the afternoon or evening

The preview party was a smashing success, with some of the best food and ales I have ever sampled. Under a big tent, revelers enjoyed delicious delicacies such as sautéed spinach, spiced chicken, sweet cornbread, bacon wrapped hors d'oeuvres, soups and more, plus all the beer you care to sample, in a complimentary glass stein that holds a hefty amount. Also, a cigar was included in your purchase, much enjoyed by all.

This event, the largest Oktoberfest-themed outdoor beer festival in the Greater Philadelphia suburbs, offered some of the finest beers around: amazing local craft beers with refreshing European beers.

 

Local craft brewers include: Box Car Brewing Company; Dock Street Beer; Dog Fish Head Craft Brewed Ales; Great Lakes Brewing Company; Lancaster Brewing Company; Rock Bottom Brewery; Sly Fox Brewing Co.; Troegs; Victory Brewing Company; Weyerbacker; and Yards. German brewers include: Augustinerbrau; Becks; Dab; Franziskaner; Hacker-Pschorr; Paulaner; Spaten; St.Pauli Girl; Tucker; and Warsteiner.

The food vendors also complimented the beers perfectly, with edibles from California Pizza Kitchen; Creed's Seafood & Steak; Doc Popcorn; Legal Sea Foods; Maggiano's Little Italy; Michael's Deli; Morton's The Steakhouse; Ruth's Chris Steak House; and Valley Forge Casino Resort, plus authentic German food. The desserts were also smashing. My favorite was cinnamon ice cream with pumpkin beer poured over it with toffee bits atop the ice cream. I must try that at home!

 

Giveaways, food, live music, photo opps and more made for a terrific weekend. Already looking forward to next year!
