FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — In celebration of its 10-year anniversary, Tossed is inviting its customers to put on their chef's caps and test their culinary prowess with its first national salad recipe contest.
During National Salad Month, May 1-31, 2008, customers are encouraged to submit their original, unpublished recipe for a chance to have their salad featured at Tossed locations across the country. Additionally, one winner per store will be selected to receive a catered meal for 10 people from their local Tossed restaurant.
Tossed also is continuing to expand and grow its catering program. Tossed Catering offers this service in three options — the Full Toss, the Quick Toss and the Half Toss — which features an assortment of salads, crepes, sandwiches and desserts.
Tossed has a growing presence in major U.S. markets such as Houston, Atlanta, Boston, Indianapolis, South Florida and Northern California.
Tossed was conceived in 1997 by Marc Meisel, a chef and restaurant-industry veteran. The first Tossed opened in New York City in July 1998. The chain experienced 300 percent growth in 2007 and has 64 locations in various stages of development, according to company officials.
