PRESS RELEASE: BOSTON, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- "Helloooo short ribs!" says the pumpkin to a plate of delicious-looking short ribs. This amusing new character is just one of the "food" stars in Uno Chicago Grill's(r) (www.unos.com) newest television advertising campaign developed to increase awareness for the brand's limited-time-only fall menu.
The campaign, developed by Full Contact Advertising in Boston, features a deep-voiced pumpkin and a snarky cranberry in a memorable series of :05 and :15 spots. The commercials will run through mid-November in Boston, Norfolk, and Providence, although the special menu is available nationally.

"Fall means cooler weather and comfort food. We've focused on flavor in a memorable way with an array of new seasonal dishes such as boneless beef short ribs with fresh pappardelle, Kabocha pumpkin soup and pumpkin tiramisu. We also feature items with a high regard for nutrition, like our all-natural, five-grain crust harvest vegetable flatbread pizza and a power salad with sliced chicken breast, spinach, and a 'power mix' of goji berries, Thompson raisins, soy nuts, almonds, pepitas and Ocean Spray(r) Sweetened Dried Cranberries," said UNO(r) CEO Frank Guidara.
"We want customers to come into our restaurant, taste one of these new dishes, and feel they've found 'comfort central'."
