Award-Winning Fast Casual Restaurant Adds Big Bold Cheesesteak for a Limited Time
McAlister’s Deli, a leading fast casual restaurant, announced today it has expanded its line of Big Bold Sandwiches with the addition of the limited-time-only Big Bold Cheesesteak.
“We are always looking for ways to satisfy guests’ cravings with a variety of flavors. We wanted to expand on the popularity of our Big Bold Sandwiches and the new Cheesesteak is McAlister’s take on an American regional favorite,” said McAlister’s Deli VP of Marketing Donna Josephson. Available through July 1, the Big Bold Cheesesteak is piled high with a generous portion of Black Angus Roast Beef, fresh roasted bell peppers and caramelized onions, finished with American cheese sauce and served on a toasted baguette.
