P.F. Chang’s Debuts New Menu Item After National Competition

Winning submission lends to signature holiday offering

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To wrap up a year that was anything but ordinary, P.F. Chang’s is turning tradition on its head, with a revamp of its original Lettuce Wraps.

Now, for a limited time only, Korean Beef Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps will appear on P.F. Chang’s menu. The recipe beat out more than 50,000 submissions from across the country in P.F. Chang’s Freestyle Lettuce Wraps Contest. In September 2019, finalists went head-to-head in a cooking competition in Las Vegas. In partnership with P.F. Chang’s chefs, home chef Tim Itano from Wheaton, Illinois won with his Korean Beef Bulgogi creation.

Korean Beef Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps are a fresh take on P.F. Chang’s signature dish – with a savory glaze that pairs well with fresh, crisp lettuce.

“We’re thrilled to bring this irresistible new flavor to the menu, just in time for the holidays,” said Steve Solis, P.F. Chang’s director of culinary operations. “It’s a perfect complement to our seasonal offerings and we think this has the ability to become a new guest favorite.”

“As a huge fan of P.F. Chang’s, I’m excited to see the dish I helped develop get served up to loyal customers,” said Itano. “The competition was fierce, so earning a spot on the menu with these new Lettuce Wraps is an amazing payoff.”

In addition to the limited time only wraps, P.F. Chang’s will feature a unique holiday prix-fixe menu. Starting at $50.00, guests may select from the following:
