O.C. Lazy Dog Restaurants Amp Up Menu

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — The Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar locations in Orange County are rolling out new menu offerings May 18 with such highlights as street-corn fries, "Spacedust" wings and a childhood-throwback cocktail — the "Tang Margarita" — a drink inspired from NASA's use on the 1962 Mercury flight and subsequent Gemini missions.

The street-corn fries will come topped with melted mozzarella, tajín-lime sauce, charred sweet corn, tomatoes, queso blanco and cilantro, according to the restaurant.

The "out-of-this-world" Spacedust Wings are tossed in a spicy combo of orange, Szechuan peppercorn and chile spices. Available for a limited time, the wings are accompanied by such dipping sauces as honey mustard, blue cheese, buffalo, umami, spicy maple, BBQ, Nashville hot ranch, ranch and marinara.

And for the cocktails ... the nostalgic "Tang Margarita," plus new coffee martinis also will grace menus. The Tang drink features Lunazul tequila, orange Tang, triple sec, sweet & sour and fresh orange. Coffee martinis include Tito's vodka, kahlúa, crème de cacao and coffee, shaken and poured into a martini glass.

In Orange County, Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bars are at: 240 S. State College Blvd., Brea; 16310 Beach Blvd. in Huntington Beach/Westminster; at The Market Place, 13290 Jamboree Road, Irvine; and 1623 West Katella Ave., Orange. Follow here for the link to more details.
