Celtic Themed Sports Pub Launches Extensive New Menu

    TEMPE, AZ, July 31, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery, a sports bar that pays homage to the old public houses of America, England, Scotland and Ireland, is rolling out a new menu in its 85+ casual-dining restaurants in the United States and Canada. Guests will be able to encounter new flavors as the popular restaurant unveils its new menu this summer.

After several months of review and a strong partnership with outside consultants, Tilted Kilt made menu changes to reflect better what guests want. The updated menu has a new look, design and layout to assist guests with selecting their perfect meal.

"We are excited to introduce the all new Tilted Kilt menu that still reflects our loyal guests' favorites and attracts new guests simultaneously," said Ron Lynch, President of Tilted Kilt. "We felt it was time to really pore through our menu mix information and look at the top and bottom sellers and make some changes," he said.

The revamped menu features new appetizers ranging from $4.00-$11.00 including the addition of Pub Pretzels and the Tilted Onion Stack, as well as some recipe and presentation changes on the Grilled Chicken Quesadilla, Calamari and TK Irish Nachos.

Due to high popularity on past limited time offer menus, a Spicy Southwest Chicken Salad and Spinach Chicken Salad will now be offered.

Among the new flatbread pizzas are Tilted Buffalo Chicken Pizza and Margherita Pizza. Pizza lovers will notice more cheese and meat added to all pizzas which are offered at an average price of $10.00.

The Our Favourites section will feature an upgrade of the Classic Fish & Chips to hand-bettered Cod filets that will be prepared to order with Tilted Kilt's own Samuel Adams Boston Lager Beer Batter.

The Tilted Wings section will be spiced up with three new wing sauces including Guinness BBQ Sauce, Garlic Parmesan and Blackened. In addition, Tilted Kilt will be introducing new Boneless Wings alongside its traditional Bone-In Wings.

The Pub Fried Egg Burger and the Kilt Paddy Melt will be making their debut on the Big Arse Burgers section.

New entrees include a Creamy Pub Pasta and Blackened Fish Tacos.

For dessert, guests can expect a new adult dessert drink, the Baby Irish Stout. This will make a great option for people wanting to celebrate special occasions.

"We are confident in our new menu offerings and are excited to see new favorites emerge," added Lynch. "It is important to us that we continue to offer our loyal guests new and exciting options on our menu."

The Tilted Kilt boasts sexy servers, classic Celtic decor, traditional pub fare and sports all under one roof. The architectural features at every location remind guests they are in a classy establishment. Dark mahogany wood fills the bar and the stained glass doors and wainscoting add to the charm. Combined with pool tables, dart boards and large plasma TVs, Tilted Kilt is the best place to watch sports and hang out with friends.

The roll out of the new menu began on July 23, 2013 on the West Coast and will be spreading eastward. It is expected that the last national launch will be completed by August 6, 2013. The new menu will then make its way to Canadian restaurants by August 13, 2013.

For Olympians and Weekend Warriors Alike, Winter Sports Can Trigger Asthma

Do you cough, wheeze, or get short of breath when you exercise in cold weather? You could have asthma, but you’ve got plenty of company. Exercise-induced asthma is surprisingly common among people who work out in cold climates, whether they’re jogging around the neighborhood or gunning for gold in Vancouver.

This week, for example, Norwegian cross-country skier Marit Bjørgen won the bronze medal in the women’s 10-kilometer race, even though she uses asthma medication. In fact, half of cross-country skiers and one-quarter of aspiring winter Olympians in general have exercise-induced asthma according to a 2000 study of 170 athletes conducted by the United States Olympic Committee.

"Any [exercise] outdoors on a mountaintop is a culprit, but just jogging in Central Park will do it as well," says Len Horovitz, MD, a pulmonary specialist with Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York City. Exercise-induced asthma doesn’t have to slow you down, however. With the right medications and precautions, exercise-induced asthma won’t keep you from your daily workout, or even from competing at an elite level.

How cold and exercise cause asthma
Wheezing, chest tightness, and the other symptoms of exercise-induced asthma generally begin several minutes after you begin working out. For some people, the symptoms start soon after they finish exercising.

Although athletes who compete in warm-weather sports may suffer from exercise-induced asthma as well, mixing exercise and cold, dry air is especially problematic. For many people with regular asthma, in fact, just stepping outside in frigid temperatures is enough to cause symptoms.

"Both cold air and exercise in and of themselves can trigger asthma symptoms, but doing them together is more likely to trigger an exacerbation," says Thomas M. Leath, MD, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine.

When the air is dry—as it often is in cold climates during the winter—your lungs can become even more irritated, Dr. Horovitz adds. "The evaporative loss and cooling of the airways triggers the process of bronchial constriction," he says. "One sport you don’t see exercise-induced asthma in so much is swimming. The humidity at water level is such that there isn’t as much evaporation as in running or winter sports." (Chlorine, however, can trigger asthma symptoms, Dr. Horovitz notes.)
