From movies to food, nostalgia is the theme of the summer. Classic characters have graced the screen. Favorite flavors have filled the table. P. F. Chang’s blends the two concepts with its “Freakier Flavors” menu. Just in time for Freakier Friday hitting theaters, everyone can get a taste of these newstalgia dishes.
The idea of blending old and new into a taste of newstalgia has been everywhere. People love a familiar taste yet want a little something extra. From a dash of spice to a vibrant color, it brings excitement to the table.
The same can be said about movies. People love seeing those familiar characters take on new adventures. When a plot can appeal to a wide demographic, it will be a hit. As Freakier Friday promises, it is the movie to bring your mom to see, but the younger generation will not be bored.
For those people familiar with the original movie, there is a reference to House of Chiang’s. Now, P. F. Chang’s is taking inspiration from that fictional restaurant and serving a taste of traditional dishes with a modern twist.
As Sonika Patel, Chief Marketing Officer at P.F. Chang's said, "When the original Freaky Friday featured a scene at the fictional 'House of Chiang's,' it felt like an unexpected shoutout to our brand. With Freakier Friday, we saw the perfect opportunity to make that connection real – turning a fun film moment into a flavorful experience for our guests."
Available through September 2, the “Freakier Flavors" menu features dinner specials, colorful beverages, and an irresistible dessert. Whether guests order one item or all of them, it is a fun way to swap that favorite dish for something a little more exciting.
The Make Good Choices Dinner Specials are a customizable combo. This order includes a starter, base, and entrée. Options include House of Chang's Spicy Chicken Dinner Special and Mix It Up Mongolian Beef Dinner Special. The Chang’s Spicy Chicken definitely ignites the palate. People will love that swicy flavor.
The Pink Slip Ube Cheesecake is a lovely combination of a visually stunning dessert with a bold flavor. The contrast between the vanilla cheese and the ube layer offers a beautiful balance between sweet and savory. For anyone who hasn’t fallen in love with ube, this dessert is a great introduction.
The pink glitter topping adds a sense of whimsy. After all, isn’t every dessert better with a little extra sparkle?
The two specialty drinks are a must-order. Both the Switcheroo and the Crystal Ball Refreshers are non-alcoholic options. The fruit-forward flavors are refreshing and a tad sweet. People will want to order them just to watch the color-changing magic. Sometimes food and beverages can be a show, too.
Ready to add some excitement to your P. F. Chang’s order? The Freakier Flavors menu is here for a limited time.
