Iconic restaurant brand to celebrate most popular sandwich on Sept. 17 with free World Famous Monte Cristos
This year, only on Sunday, Sept. 17 – which, not coincidentally, is also Halfway to St. Paddy’s Day – guests will receive a FREE World Famous Monte Cristo (trademark pending) with the purchase of an entrée of equal or greater value at participating locations.
Bennigan’s signature sandwich gained its Legendary status by layering buttery brioche bread, ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese, dipped in signature batter and fried to golden perfection. Then, it’s topped off with a drizzle of sweet and tangy raspberry sauce.
Bennigan’s fall menu celebration will also feature Oktoberfest-inspired items, including an Oktoberfest Burger, Beer Cheese Soup and Reuben Fritters. It’s the perfect excuse to gather with friends and release your inner Irish-ness.
“The World Famous Monte Cristo is our signature sandwich for a reason, so it’s only right we honor it with a Bennigan’s-style celebration,” said Paul Mangiamele, Chairman and CEO of Legendary Restaurant Brands. “Whether it’s your first or 100th time savoring a Monte Cristo, you’ll understand what makes it such a Legendary experience from the first bite. We’re looking forward to welcoming our loyal guests on this special day – and all season long – with our unique, Legendary Irish hospitality as we create even more emotional connections one delicious meal at a time.”
Of course, Bennigan’s has your seasonal drinks covered, too. From now through Oct. 3, “The American Legend” will serve handcrafted fall-inspired cocktails that perfectly pair with the World Famous Monte Cristo. Guests can cheer the cooler season with these specialty cocktails:
Espresso Martini – Bennigan’s newest concoction features 360 Double Chocolate Vodka, Kahlua Coffee Liqueur and Monin Iced Coffee, shaken with ice until smooth, strained into a chilled martini glass and served with three espresso beans.
Sweater Weather Breeze – Feel the cool autumn breeze with a handcrafted blend of fresh muddled mint, lime juice, Paddy’s Irish Whiskey, Monin Granny Smith Apple, Finest Call Mojito Mix and Sprite®.
Autumn Sangria – Back by popular demand, this drink features Stoli Razberi Vodka, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, White Zinfandel, Finest Call Peach Puree and Red Bull Yellow Edition. Served in a mason jar with an orange and lemon wheel. Refreshingly fall!
Spiced Irish Cran-Apple – A rich garnet color with a ruby edge, the wine opens to reveal lifted fruit aromas of bright strawberry, jammy fruit, mocha and vanilla, and oak notes. Expressive boysenberry, blackberry, dark cherry, juicy strawberry and toasty mocha flavors lend complexity and depth to the palate.
Samuel Adams® Octoberfest – It’s a Legendary pairing when you wash down your Monte Cristo with a Samuel Adams® Octoberfest. Renowned as a malt lover’s dream, it masterfully blends five roasts of barley to create a delicious harmony of sweet flavors, including caramel and toffee. The beer is kept from being overly sweet by the elegant bitterness imparted by German Noble hops.
From your favorite cocktails and apps to one of the world’s greatest sandwiches, Bennigan’s has everything you need to celebrate National Monte Cristo Day the Legendary way.
