TRADITION WITH A TWIST: NEW MENU CONCEPTS COMBINE AUTHENTICITY WITH EXCITEMENT If there's one thing today's consumers love, it is experimenting with flavors in new and unexpected ways. It's all about taking comfort foods out of their comfort zone with fun and unique creative mashups presented in surprising combi- nations. Traditional Italian meats from Fontanini are a great base for creating new menu concepts. One of Fontanini's most innovative ideas include its signa- ture Dunk-a-Nini ® . Simply use Fontanini Mamma Ranne Meatballs and wrap them in your fresh pizza dough, fry until they are hot and crispy and serve. Delicious each and every time! Another favorite is the famous Cranberry Peach Meatball appetizer, made with Fontanini Mamma Ranne Meatballs. Just add your own cranberry sauce, sliced peaches, mild picante sauce and fresh ginger to the meatballs and you have a flavor infused treat that your customers will come back for. Or if you are looking for an entrée, try using Fontanini's authentic Italian sausage pieces served on a bed of riga- toni pasta with roasted vegetables. One of Fontanini's most popular classics is its signature Chicago Combo Sandwich, made with Fontanini Raw Italian Sausage Link, Sliced Italian Beef and hot giardiniera on a fresh roll. This year, at the National Restaurant Show, Fontanini is serving its sliced Italian beef with sliced sausage and roasted peppers.
