Howdy gang....

Well here's a topic that has been discussed in the past, but that was...er....in the PAST! Today is now, and i think it's high time today's CEC considered introducing a NEW Menu Item. It's been a long time.....what 5 years now....since the last new items? Cinnammon sticks and Apple Pizza they were right?

For ages now fans have been discussing what options could be added. Many Guests have also suggested things....namely chicken fingers or nuggets for the kids, or a kids meal type offering ( indie pizza, drink, prize). Many adults have asked about fish sandwichs or even a tuna sub. So how about you? What would you like to see on the menu, and what requests have you been getting in the field?

Top Guest requests up here have been:

Chicken fingers or Nuggets
Fish sticks ( hey, its New England anyway!)
a "Kids Meal" type offering
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Child size sandwich offering ( other then a Hot Dog)
Fish Sandwich ( Tuna Sub, Filet O' Fish type offering)

I think CEC has donw pretty good with changing the offerings every 10 years or so and adding popular trends ( like Buffalo Wings). It seems though it's been a long time since we have seen anything new come in. I am aware that a lot of testing has been done with some of the itmes listed above ( namely, the chicken items) but does anyone know what the result of it was? Last i heard it did'nt go over too well which surprises me as up here in the North we have huge demand for this stuff!

Your suggestions and thoughts?

a fish sandwich sounds great ! Especially during Lent! when i was in 6th grade i was in Catholic school, the nun asked what did you have for dinner Friday night i said a chuck e cheese peperoni pizza, (mind you it's Monday) she said go to the corner and pray while wearing this dunce hat. so yes i'm all for it. talk about embarrasing...:b

My votes would be:

Mozzerella Sticks
Thin Crust Pizza
I have to agree with the Smothered cheese fries with bacon bits!

But before they add new items, they need to enforce some major pizza standards :(

Edit: POST 3000 on this board!! WOO HOO! :)

Mozzerella Sticks

They already have these...at least at most CEC's I've been to. Don't your CEC's have these?

Yeah, :lol , Mozzie's have been around for awhile...:o
I like the ideas of:
Grilled Cheese
A giant Cookie
Chicken Tenders
Thin Crust Pizza
and Cheese Fries (with Bacon Bits)

How about:
Nanchos (with side of cheese and/or Bacon Bits)
Hot Pretzal (with a side of cheese and/or pizza sauce)
Speghetti
Hamburger (suprised no one has yet said this)

I think a Pretzal would be easy to make for CEC, you can use the same dough as the pizza. All ya have to do is shape into a pretzal form. A company called Wetzal Pretzal makes there pretzals just like CEC. They make dough fresh, shape it like a pretzal, toss it in the over, take it out, add butter, then add salt. Best pretzals out there!

A customised item for the Canadian stores would be Poutine.

Fries with cheese curds on top then covered with gravy.

cheese would be pretty simple...just get another sauce warmer and geeze, sams club sells big tubs of cheese...

we did that once for a cm meeting, put cheese in the sauce warmer and had nachos. we did it for our cinco de mayo meeting

Hamburger Nip...a hamburger smothered in gravy!
I guess its a canadian thing since no one knows what im talking about whenever i mention it after I get back from a trip to thunder bay, Ontario.

You should see the looks i get when I sit down and order a hamburger with a side of gravy.

I've never heard of it here.

Maybe just a Thunder Bay thing, not a Canadian thing.

yea that definitely sounds like puke on a plate...

2 big things people ALWAYS try to order down here - and i NEVER heard these things in pittsburgh....

1. Hot Dog with Chilli
2. Banana Peppers on pizza

and the best part is, sometimes they get really pissed when i tell them we dont have that!!

I think they should put some kind of burger, or a chicken or fish sandwich on the menu. Maybe even change the sandwich offerings a bit.
