## Story

JACKSON, Miss. — Inspired by America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, Newk’s Eatery is launching a “Star-Spangled Summer” limited-time menu packed with fresh flavors and seasonal favorites.

“Our summer menu is all about bringing people together around fresh flavors and feel-good moments,” said Madison Newcomb, Director of Marketing. “From refreshing berries and peaches to comforting classics with a Newk’s twist, we wanted to create a menu that feels fun, nostalgic and uniquely summertime.” The limited-time menu includes:

● Red, White & Blueberry Salad: Chicken, mixed greens, feta, strawberries, blueberries and pecans served with fat-free raspberry vinaigrette. ● Turkey Melt: Turkey, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes and honey mustard served on French Parisian bread. ● Broccoli Cheddar Soup: Broccoli florets simmered in a creamy cheddar broth with spices and sweet onions, topped with shredded cheddar cheese. ● Peach Tea: A refreshing seasonal sip bursting with sweet peach flavor.
