Favorite Family Dining Chain Offers More Choices for Guests Looking for a
Lighter Meal and Bill

PITTSBURGH, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Eat'n Park has introduced a new
"Smaller Portions at Smaller Prices" menu, featuring reduced portion sizes of
Eat'n Park favorites.  The menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner items and
is perfect for guests looking for a lighter meal and lesser bill.

    "Many people want to be able to find selections that meet their dietary
needs and their budget when they dine out," said Kevin O'Connell, senior vice
president, Eat'n Park Restaurants.  "We are constantly looking for new ways to
make our menu fit our guests' tastes and lifestyle.  We're very excited about
the positive feedback we've had from our guests on this new section of our
menu."
    According to O'Connell, Eat'n Park guests value smaller portions for a
variety of reasons: to cut calories, control portions, lose weight, and save
money.  The "Smaller Portions at Smaller Prices" menu allows Eat'n Park guests
to indulge in their favorite meals, including Baked Lemon Sole, Banana's
Foster French Toast, Shredded Pot Roast Sandwich and Rosemary Chicken, in a
portion allowing for fewer calories at a better value -- and with less guilt.
    The introduction of the "Smaller Portions at Smaller Prices" menu reflects
a continued effort by Eat'n Park to adapt its menu to the dietary needs of
guests.  Last year, Eat'n Park added new sections to its menu, including
gluten-free, vegetarian, and lower sodium, in addition to the chain's
traditional Eat'n Smart selections, which offer fewer calories and less fat.
The menus have been extremely popular with guests, especially the gluten-free
menu for those guests with Celiac looking for a safe place to eat out.  Eat'n
Park has also rolled out ongoing training for its staff to help them better
understand the dietary needs of their guests.
