BRIO Tuscan Grille Creates a “Moderno” Take on Tuscan Dining! New, Contemporary Menu Presenting Culinary-Forward Dishes & Vibrant Drinks

By August 17, 2016No Comments

The new menu, coupled with the time-honored Italian traditions of sharing, good times, and delectable cuisine incorporating the finest and freshest ingredients, will launch on June 28. Among its features: 13 new entrées; enticing small plates for two, three or four people to share; two-course lunch plates; a renewed drink selection; and a chic menu design, all showcasing a new take on spirited Tuscan dining.

While the menu continues to feature many of BRIO’s time-honored favorites, its ample new additions bring an imaginative twist to Tuscan classics, focusing on fresh, chef-inspired ingredients. Low-calorie and gluten-free items are abundant, and guests can request customized entrées to ensure that their cuisine of choice perfectly suits their palate. BRIO’s innovative wine, spirits and beer menu presents a superb offering of whites, reds and bubblies; inspired cocktails; domestic, imported and craft beers; and refreshing spirit-free drinks.

The wide variety of choices on the new menu was created to cater to guests’ individual tastes. BRIO’s two-course lunch plates allow guests to combine a soup or salad with a delicious entrée, while enjoying portion control. In the spirit of sharing, guests can enjoy the dinner menu’s array of small plates, from Mezza Beef Carpaccio to White Bean Dip, created for two, three or four people to experience together.

BRIO’s new menu design is more contemporary and exudes elegant simplicity, while being easier to read.

“By incorporating a creative, modern twist into many of our dishes, continuing to serve our classic favorites, and adding more opportunities for sharing, we are pleased to evolve the guest experience, while staying true to the essence of Tuscan dining,” said BRIO Culinary Director & Chef Alison Peters.  “The new menu continues to embody our philosophy: ‘to eat well, is to live well.’”

Five Things That Need to be in Your Resume or Cover Letter

To paraphrase Jerry Maguire, help us help you. As we sift through the paperwork, here’s what we are looking for:

1. What you love to do and why.

In PR, you may love writing, editing, interviewing, pitching the media, researching, coordinating events, networking, posting to social media … whew! While we would love it if you had a passion for it all, we’d never believe you if you said as much.

What part of this zany, crazy, whirlwind, yet meticulous, tedious, detail-oriented, profession calls to you and why? Help us make the connection as to how PR is really for you, and call it your Professional Summary.

2. Something you did that changed something or someone else.

If you never showed up to your last job, what wouldn’t have happened? That’s right. Erase yourself. Now which clients disappeared with you? Which articles just fade away? What press releases cease to exist? How much social media did NOT get liked?

We are just meeting you. So take a moment to spell out your impact, and it will be easier for us to see what you can do for the clients of Durée & Company. Share this under your Job Responsibilities.

3. Anything you created.

Feeling humble? Well, stop it. This is the part where you brag. If you craft a delightful blog, master a mind-blowing website, shoot crazy video or direct wonderful events, show us.

Then tell us a bit of how you did it, so we trust that it was your brilliance and not the intern’s. Let’s dub this Your Portfolio.

4. An indication of why you belong here.

At PR firm Durée & Company, we have a culture. Really, all companies do. To learn about ours, do some legwork. At this point, if you’re on our blog, you are in the right spot to begin learning. Hate pink? Not good with women? Live in Kansas? Low energy? Then you might want to reconsider applying. However, if we resemble a group that you’d like to hang out with, share why. You can do that in the Cover Letter.

5. Correctly spelled words – all of them.

Do more than hit spell check. Know how to spell or ask someone to proofread. Correctly spelled words work everywhere, all the time. Consider them the Little Black Dresses of resumes.

So consider these five tips – we’ve just given you a “cheat sheet” about what we’re watching out for. Even if our position may not be for you, feel free to use our advice for another – it may just get you the job!
