Thematic food
Any restaurant or eatertainment facility needs to offer some menu variety
for regular repeat guests. Sometimes this is accomplished with
daily or weekly specials or seasonal menus. The Souplantation/Sweet
Tomatoes buffet restaurant chain uses a really smart approach to
this issue: during the growing season, have a monthly theme based upon
seasonal produce.
Highlighting the August Cherry Good Time menu was an
all new cherry Chipotle spinach with cashews tossed salad, which combined
fresh, vitamin-rich green spinach with juicy red apples, tangy Mandarin
oranges, protein packed cashews, and of course, dried cherries. The
salad was then tossed in a zesty, made-from-scratch cherry-Chipotle vinaigrette. Other
cherry recipes included tangy, made-from-scratch cherry nut muffins,
and after 4 p.m., delicious warm cherry apple cobbler.
Now that it's fall, they have switched to cultural themes. September's
theme is Greek.
