“This year, we’ve really turned up the flavor for the holidays,” said Chef Paul Pszybylski, VP of Culinary Innovation at CPK. “When guests visit CPK this season, they’re getting the gift of craveable, unique dishes that can be shared across the table. This is especially true of our wildly popular Butter Cake, now reimagined for the first time ever as a Mini Butter Cake Flight, with four decadent toppings to choose from!”
For the Thanksgiving season, CPK is also making it easy to gather with friends around their holiday tables, by introducing its Friendsgiving Sides menu. Whether as the host or a guest, fans can easily order from a selection of delicious sides and have the confidence that their meal will be complete, delicious and stress free.

Friendsgiving Sides are available from November 5 through November 27, and guests are encouraged to order ahead at cpk.com for takeout or delivery.
