Grill and Chill with New Summer Recipes from Dunkin' Donuts

CANTON, Mass. (July 26, 2006) - In order to keep Americans running during the summer season of barbeques, beaches and heat waves, Dunkin' Brands Executive Chef Stan Frankenthaler and his culinary team have developed a mouth-watering, coffee-themed summer menu that will keep the grills fired and the backyard chefs cool.

"Coffee has become a year-round staple in keeping Americans on the go and is a delicious ingredient to complement summer menus as temperatures rise," said Dunkin' Brands Executive Chef Stan Frankenthaler. "This year our beverage team has developed two new delicious iced coffee flavors, great aromatic coffee grilling rubs and glazes for summer cookouts and iced coffee-based desserts that will help people cool off after a long day in the summer sun."

Nine coffee flavors (French vanilla, hazelnut, toasted almond, raspberry, blueberry, coconut, cinnamon, caramel and chocolate) are available as way for customers to customize their beverages.

Chef Frankenthaler's summer grilling rubs, glazes and desserts all use Dunkin' Donuts coffee as a base and are a perfect complement to any summer barbeque or cookout:
