ORLANDO (September 12, 2006) - While a chef may want total control in the kitchen, Jack’s Place newly appointed Executive Chef Michael McMullen stirred the pot a bit when he developed a new menu based on a key ingredient of the Rosen Plaza’s success – it associates. The new menu was created in celebration of the award-winning restaurant and hotel’s 15 th anniversary this month.

The 15 th Anniversary Menu was developed in part based on favorite dishes enjoyed throughout the years by Rosen Hotels & Resorts associates. The collection blends a variety of culinary favorites such as Jack’s Onion Soup, Harris Ranch Tenderloin Steak, Salmon Gremolata and Jack’s Famous NY Cheesecake – a recipe credited to Mrs. Rosen’s own private collection.

“We’re extremely grateful for 15 wonderful years and what a better way to celebrate than to honor those who have made it happen – both our Rosen associates and the public,” states McMullen. “I believe our patrons will find that some of their favorites, too, have been selected as part of this special menu.” The prix fixe anniversary menu allows the patron to build their own experience by offering selections in each course and is available for $29.00 per person excluding beverage, gratuity and tax. More information about the new menu can be found at www.jacksplacerestaurant.com.

Just recently named one of Florida Trend’s top recommended restaurants in Orlando and Orlando magazine’s 2006 Best Restaurant on International Drive and one of the top Orlando hotel restaurants, Jack’s Place gets its name from Harris Rosen’s father who during his 30-year tenure at the Waldorf Astoria sketched over 100,000 warm and humorous caricatures of visiting celebrities and VIPs, including Jackie Kennedy, Hank Aaron, Indira Ghandi and Henry Kissinger, to name a few. The restaurant is adorned with selections from this impressive collection and has been enjoyed as part of the ambience among patrons for years.

Located on International Drive adjacent to the Orange County Convention Center, the 800-room Rosen Plaza provides its guests with resort-style luxury in a world-class vacation destination. Conveniently situated just minutes from Orlando’s world-famous theme parks, Universal Studios Florida, SeaWorld and Walt Disney World, the Rosen Plaza is only 15 minutes from the Orlando International Airport.
