T.G.I. Friday's Now Serving Brunch

DENVER, Jan. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American restaurant icon T.G.I. Friday's recently began serving brunch in its Longmont, Colo., restaurant. Brunch is Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and features classic brunch favorites like southern cornmeal pancakes and an egg white breakfast burrito, along with new creations like Tostado Nachos Rancheros and Crab Cake and Eggs. Friday's brunch is currently only available in Longmont.  

A Friday's menu wouldn't be complete without creative adult beverages, including mimosas, Bloody Marys and coffee drinks, concocted especially for brunch. Friday's brunch menu is part of the restaurant's new menu introduction in Colorado. The restaurant launched its re-energized menu with more than 30 new items to six metro-area restaurants, including the Longmont location, in October.

Inventive dishes cooked to order with fresh ingredients and shareable plates are the centerpiece of the new menu, and the brunch menu is no different. Friday's food experts have taken classics, like the breakfast burrito, and added a Friday's twist. For a lighter brunch option, the breakfast burrito is made with egg whites, sauteed jalapenos, onions and red peppers, wrapped in a soft spinach tortilla with fire-roasted tomato salsa. The Ham, Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Pizza has tender natural ham, crispy applewood-smoked bacon, fresh diced tomatoes and scrambled eggs piled atop a pizza crust with Friday's creamy cheese sauce and mozzarella. French toast Italienne, egg, asparagus and creamed spinach Benedict, and a fried egg sandwich, with Friday's Happy Hippy multigrain bread, are other standouts on the new brunch menu.

"Friday's new menu is a reflection of us and how our customers eat today. Our new brunch offering is a great addition to our menu, giving our diners a whole new taste of Friday's," said Ricky Richardson, Friday's chief concept officer.

Brunch is currently only available at the Longmont restaurant. Denver has six T.G.I. Friday's restaurants: Northfield at Stapleton, Town Center at Aurora, South Aurora on Parker Rd., Lone Tree at Park Meadows Mall, Thornton off of 120th, and Longmont.

T.G.I. Friday's is an American icon, having started in 1965 in New York City. It has grown into a place where people venture for great food, innovative cocktails and good times with friends and family. It's a place to escape the everyday, and its new brunch menu is poised to bring diners new, unexpected flavors and tastes. In a phrase, "In here, it's always Friday."
