O’CHARLEY’S RESTAURANTS: is launching a new advertising campaign designed to spur business at the 230-store chain.

To support the campaign, the company will rollout a microsite at http://www.therolls.com on Jan. 28, which will feature the TV spots, an online game challenging visitors to slice an unsliceably soft roll with a knife and contests.
