If you ever wanted to get as drunk as Pam Beesly at a Chili’s in Scranton, that dream is finally becoming a reality. The popular chain is opening a restaurant in the Pennsylvania city on April 7, nearly 20 years after the famous episode of “The Office” aired where employees from Dunder Mifflin celebrated the Dundies awards. The NBC show premiered this week in 2005. This is Chili’s first location in the show’s setting of Scranton, despite several memorable appearances in “The Office.” The newly built restaurant pays homage to the chain’s “most notable on-screen moments, with throwback nods and decor,” according to a press release. The restaurant is adorned with chalk art murals that were once a mainstay of Chili’s restaurants in the early 2000s, with the brand tapping the original artist to recreate them. Colorful tile tables are also making a comeback along with the Awesome Blossom onion appetizer, which was pulled from menus in 2008. Chili’s has also enlisted several actors from “The Office” to star in the ads, including Melora Hardin (Jan Levinson), Andy Buckley (David Wallace), Brian Baumgartner (Kevin Malone) and Kate Flannery (Meredith Palmer). The campaign also taps into nostalgia, with Hardin being serenaded to Chili’s classic “Baby Back Ribs” jingle in a booth celebrating the Awesome Blossom.
