Across New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Nashville, Cesar is partnering with national pet-friendly restaurants [City Winery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerrygold-butter-club) and Yardbird to share dishes for humans that pair with [CESAR Canine Cuisine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-restaurant-weekend) offerings—like steak for pet parents and a Cesar Filet Mignon Flavor Mini-Pouch for pets. A new generation of pet parents is eager to bond with their pets at every opportunity, especially through shared moments like mealtime.
