'Family Value Chef' Heather Gardea Serves Up 'Weekends Out Only' Dining Budget Solution

CARLSBAD, CA, Mar 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Just when dining out may be nixed from a tightened budget, the Culinary
Institute of America-trained chef, now VP of Food and Beverage for
Carrows, Heather Gardea, is serving up a "Weekends Only" dining out
family budget solution. On weekends only, Carrows is offering USDA prime
rib dinners that start at $13.99 at every Carrows Restaurant
(www.carrows.com) throughout California and Nevada. Weekend Prime Rib
Weekends start on Friday and Saturday after 4 p.m. and Sunday after 11
a.m. until sold out.

"Even when family budgets are strained, there's no reason why we should
deny ourselves good food and an evening out," says Gardea. "Limiting
dining out excursions to the weekends only allows us the indulgences of
food we love, makes the dining out experience more special and keeps
family budgets in line."

The Weekend Prime Rib dinner selections, which are serviced with choice of
potato or rice, dinner vegetables and fresh-baked cornbread, garlic cheese
bread, or baked potato, include: 8-ounce Prime Rib ($13.99), 12-ounce
Prime Rib ($16.99), 8-ounce Blackened Prime Rib ($13.99), 12-ounce
Blackened Prime Rib ($16.99), Prime Rib & Grilled Shrimp ($15.99) and
Prime Rib & Fried Shrimp ($15.99).

For nearly half a century, Carrows Restaurants (www.carrows.com) have been
part of the West's family dining landscape, with a reputation for
consistent values, superior service and delicious comfort food selections
that satisfy like a sunny Saturday on a Southern California beach. A place
where "our family serves yours," Carrows' menu was developed by the Family
Value Chef, Heather Gardea. Her training at the Culinary Institute of
America is reflected in her hearty griddle, skillet and power breakfasts
and juicy burgers, fresh salads, melts and Build Your Own Mile High
lunches. Carrows Restaurants' dinner selections include their famous
Weekend Prime Rib dishes, seafood, pasta and chicken and sirloin combos;
all available in the over 90 stores throughout California, Arizona, Nevada
and Colorado.
