Exciting Summer Menu Innovations at Midwest BBQ Chains
Two Distinctive Dishes Bring Bold Flavors to the Season
Columbus, Ohio – (RestaurantNews.com) – As summer heats up, Metropolis Fish Fry is rolling out a pair of exclusive menu items designed to satisfy both traditional barbecue lovers and those seeking innovative flavors. These limited-time offerings, available until July 29 across all Metropolis Fish Fry locations, promise to elevate outdoor gatherings with their rich taste profiles and comforting appeal. The new additions include the indulgent Pork Belly Burnt Ends and a refreshing Strawberries & Cream Cobbler, perfect for complementing any summer feast.
Signature Dish: Pork Belly Burnt Ends
Priced at $11.99 for a half-pound serving, the Pork Belly Burnt Ends feature tender, hickory-smoked pork belly cubes that are crispy-fried to perfection. They are coated in a sticky glaze blending jalapeño heat with honey sweetness, then garnished with tangy pickled red onions. This dish offers a harmonious balance of smoky depth, spicy warmth, and a touch of sweetness-ideal for adventurous palates craving something beyond the usual barbecue fare.
Jessica Bograd, Senior Director of Culinary Innovation at Metropolis Fish Fry, explains, “Pork belly allows us to craft a more decadent meat experience, and the jalapeño-honey glaze provides a lively burst of flavor. Our goal is to push the boundaries of traditional barbecue while staying true to our roots-authentic smoked meats and hearty flavors.”
Sweet Finish: Strawberries & Cream Cobbler
This seasonal dessert, priced at $4.99 and serving two, offers a delightful twist on a classic summer treat. It combines fresh strawberries with a rich cheesecake batter, all nestled beneath a caramelized brown sugar crust and topped with freshly whipped cream. Whether paired with smoked meats or enjoyed as a standalone dessert, this cobbler adds a sweet, fruity note to any summer meal.
Availability and Convenience for Summer Celebrations
Both new menu items are accessible through in-store visits, online orders, and via the Metropolis Fish Fry mobile app, offering options for dine-in, takeout, or delivery. As families and friends gather for summer festivities, the restaurant chain continues to emphasize its popular Event Packs-comprehensive catering solutions suitable for events of any size. These packages feature flexible options and straightforward ordering, making it easier than ever to host memorable summer gatherings without the hassle.
