Shari's Celebrates Love with Black Forest Desserts

(Beaverton, Oregon – 2/07/08):

Love is in the air at Shari's Family Restaurants during February, with the marriage of chocolate and cherries in a decadent selection of new desserts. You may say you'll share these with your sweetheart, but you'll want to eat them all by yourself.

• Black Forest Cream Cheese Pie – Delicious cherries sit atop layers of moist chocolate cake and Philadelphia Cream Cheese filling to create the perfect pie.
• Black Forest Lava Cake – Rich chocolate cake erupts with double chocolate, topped with cherries and whipped cream, and served with vanilla ice cream.
• Black Forest Milkshakes - Shari's hand-dipped chocolate and cherry milkshake, served with an old-fashioned refill tin.

Whether it's Valentine's Day, President's Day, Leap Day or just a night out with your family, there's always something to celebrate at Shari's. The party lasts all year long as Shari's celebrates 30 years of serving the Northwest with quality food and warm welcomes!
