The new menu is here, the new menu is here!

What's new on our new Spring 2012 Lunch and Dinner menu?

New Snack page filled with yummy things that are perfect with a refreshing beverage -- Southern Fried Wings, Scotch Eggs, Currywurst, and even a Bacon Dog. We even have a new Sausage Sampler that lets you choose TWO from German Bratwurst, Smoky/Garlic Andouille, Spicy/Smoky Ragin’ Cajun, or Very Spicy Chorizo. We’ll slice them up so the whole table can share them, serve them on a bed of onions and peppers (kraut, too, if you ordered Bratwurst), and we’ll even add a big, soft, warm German pretzel on the side.

New Specials: You asked for it, and we have it: Chicken Cheesesteaks! We take our char-grilled boneless chicken breasts, smother them in melted provolone cheese, top that with grilled onions and peppers, and serve it all on Philadelphia's favorite Amoroso roll. Chicken not your thing? How about a taco cheesesteak -- we take our original cheesesteak and spice it up with taco seasoning, pico de gallo salsa, raw onion, and more. Since summer's coming (eventually), Honey Lou's Louisiana Pimento Cheese is back and you can have it on cheesesteaks, burgers, veggie burgers, pulled pork, or even fries. And finally, we have the Norm Parmigiano, our sun-dried tomato and basil chicken sausage burger made even better with melted provolone cheese, parmesan, and hearty marinara sauce. I don't know about you, but writing this post is making me HUNGRY.

Check out Don's new buns!

Don Schulze is always looking for ways to make Shultzy's even better. We already trim, blend, grind, and patty the beef for our char-grilled burgers, but that's not enough. A year ago, we switched from our traditional garlic-buttered Shultzy's rolls to standard sesame seed hamburger buns because the Shultzy's rolls seemed to distract from the fresh beefy burger taste. But, after more thought, a regular hamburger bun just wasn't good enough.

So, we recently switched our hamburger buns to toasted Grand Central Bakery rustic rolls. These rolls have the perfect texture and flavor to complement our char-grilled burgers, even our popular SARKburger. We hope you'll try one next time you're in and let us know what you think.

It was a joke. An April Fool's joke. :)

Apparently some people didn't realize that my Sausage Smoothies post was an April Fool's joke. I thought that Chorizo Cherry and Kiwi Kielbasa would be enough to tip everyone off, but that wasn't the case. I'm sorry if I upset any of our loyal customers, but I'm glad that I made some of our other loyal customers laugh enough to make beer come out of their noses.

Sorry it didn't make it on this week's calendar, but we are CLOSED today for Easter Sunday. See you tomorrow! :)

Coming this Sunday: Sausage Smoothies (NEW!)

We've been experimenting with these in the Shultzy's R&D Labs for some time, and now they're finally ready for your enjoyment. Shultzy's has created its first two fantastic flavors of Sausage Smoothies™: Cherry-Chorizo™ and Kiwi-Kielbasa™.

Smoothies have been a trend for some time with companies like Jamba Juice and now Starbucks entering the market. Who doesn't enjoy a refreshing, healthful frosty drink? But while those two corporate behemoths are focusing on the obvious, fruit-based smoothies, they're missing the mark. Ask any celebrity chef these days, and they'll tell you that pork is where it's at when it comes to flavor, so we've decided to create hybrid fruit-sausage smoothies, using the sausage recipes that have made Shultzy's a favorite for nearly a quarter century.

It wasn't an easy process. Some flavors just didn't work. Apple-Andouille failed because the tartness of Granny Smith apples clashed with the smokiness of our traditional Louisiana Andouille recipe. And I don't even want to talk about Banana-Bangers; not only did it taste wrong, but the name sounded way too sexual, even for Shultzy's.

So, it was back to the labs... And finally, we've emerged with two fantastic flavors that not only taste great, but are incredibly healthful.  Cherry-Chorizo™  blends the goodness of Organic, Free-Range, Locally-Grown, Washington Rainier Cherries with the savory goodness of Preservative-Free, Gluten-Free, Grass-Fed, Locally-Grown Pork Chorizo sausage, made exclusively with Fair-Trade spices, grown and harvested by adults with low-deductible health insurance.

The health benefits of cherries are well-known. Research has linked tart cherries to anti-inflammatory benefits, reduced pain from gout and arthritis and an extensive list of heart health benefits. Recent studies even suggest tart cherries can help reduce post-exercise muscle and joint pain. The health benefits of chorizo are less well known, but equally well-documented. Boxer Oscar de la Hoya exclusively ate chorizo while training for big fights. De La Hoya defeated 17 world champions and won ten world titles in six different weight classes. Artist Frida Kahlo also ate chorizo regularly and credited it with helping in her lifelong battle with Monobrow Syndrome.

Although  Cherry-Chorizo™  was a clear winner, we realized that we couldn't release with just one new  Sausage Smoothie™  -- we had to have two to appeal to different palates and people with different health needs. After years of additional research, we came up with the perfect complement:  Kiwi-Kielbasa™ .

Each organically-grown, humanely-harvested, zero-carbon-footprint, kiwi has more Vitamin C than oranges, more Potassium than a banana, more Beta Carotene than a Carrot, and 62% less trans fats than genetically-modified kiwis harvested by child laborers. And Kielbasa's garlic flavor not only blends well with the sweetness of Kiwi, but reduces blood pressure, reduces risk of stroke, and anecdotal research suggests that it may even protect people from vampire attacks.

So, remember to come by Shultzy's on Sunday, April 1st to preview these fantastic two Sausage Smoothies™  before any of your new-adopter friends beat you to it and talk about it even more than they talk about their new iPads.

Boulder Mojo Risin' Double NITRO is here!

Now on tap: Boulder Beer's Mojo Risin' DOUBLE IPA (10% abv) on NITRO. Brewed with an extra half ton of US 2-row malted barley and wheat malt and with twice the amount of Centennial hops and finally double dry-hopped with Amarillo Hops for extra intensity. All that AND the keg's nitro charged, so the texture is super smooth and silky.

Mojo Risin' Double Nitro is very limited, so we only have one keg. If you're a hop-lover who's never had a Nitro IPA, don't miss it!

No trivia tomorrow night, but we do have UW-Oregon NIT Hoops!

Just a reminder, no Tuesday Night Trivia tomorrow night (March 20th) since it's Spring Break. Trivia will be back next week.

We did have the foresight to schedule alternative entertainment for you. In NIT basketball action, the UW Huskies are playing the Oregon Ducks at 6pm, so join us before, during, or after the game for some Tuesday night fun. We'll have the usual 4.50 Pilsner 1/2 liters and 3.99 Sauza Margaritas to help you cheer the Huskies on to victory and a trip to New York City for the NIT finals.
