Teriyaki Madness Introduces Spicy Chicken Power Bowl for a More. Better. Experience

2018-02-01T13:46:22-05:00February 1st, 2018|Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

DENVER CO – PRNewswire

Teriyaki Madness, a growing, Denver-based fresh Asian fast-casual franchise, is rolling out a high protein bowl that’s nearly one pound of veggies and almost a half-pound of chicken, to debut Feb. 1for a four-month Limited Time Offer.

The Spicy Chicken Power Bowl is expected to be a favorite among carb-watchers and bodybuilders who crave protein-rich dishes. The bowl’s 49 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber are 100 percent of the recommended daily allowance of protein and 50 percent of daily fiber just in one meal, but the bowl is big enough to even make into two meals. The dish is loaded with the brand’s signature flavors, including fresh ginger, garlic, and pineapple juice, and is spiced up with chili garlic paste in addition to other secret ingredients.

The LTO is a takeoff on one of Teriyaki Madness’ most popular dishes, Spicy Chicken, which is served with teriyaki chicken wok-tossed in their signature spicy sauce, fresh stir-fried or steamed veggies and the customer’s choice of rice or noodles. The Spicy Chicken Power Bowl omits the carbs to make room for more veggies.

“Many health-conscious guests watching their carb intake already order our Spicy Chicken with veggies instead of rice or noodles, so we decided to add it as a special menu item,” said Teriyaki Madness CEO Michael Haith. “The Spicy Chicken Power Bowl is more flavor than fire. It’s a super addictive flavor with just a touch of heat that won’t burn your mouth – it just leaves you wanting more.”

Over the next four months, Teriyaki Madness is giving away free bowls for a year to six lucky winners. To be considered, consumers have to join Club Mad through their website or follow Teriyaki Madness on Facebook or Instagram. Each winner receives 24 free bowl vouchers to use throughout the year.

Teriyaki Madness, the fastest growing Asian restaurant concept in the nation, grants customers an authentic Seattle Teriyaki House experience. Big, bold bowls are what Teriyaki Madness is famous for, as guests customize their made-to-order entrees. Building a customer’s bowl of delicious flavors and ingredients starts with made-from-scratch sauces and various rice and noodle options, and then adding fresh-cut, stir-fried or steamed vegetables and quality proteins like all-natural, fresh chicken, beef or tofu.

About Teriyaki Madness

Teriyaki Madness, a fast-casual teriyaki shop concept, is committed to unconditionally satisfying guests by offering delicious, made-to-order teriyaki dishes prepared with all-natural, fresh ingredients that are served quickly, at a reasonable price in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The brand is dedicated to “Spreading the Madness” so everyone can experience the best teriyaki on earth. Teriyaki Madness was recently recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as a Franchise 500 company and by Franchise Business Review for their Top 50 Franchise Satisfaction award two years in a row. The brand also ranked on the top half of the Inc. 5000 list in 2017 with three-year sales growth of 171 percent. Teriyaki Madness was founded in 2003 and currently has franchise agreements for nearly 150 shops in the United States. Teriyaki Madness offers franchising opportunities nationwide for their concept to qualified single and multi-unit candidates.

BurgerFi to Debut New Campaign Offering “BURGERS for Every 1”

2018-01-30T00:27:42-05:00January 30th, 2018|Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

NORTH PALM BEACH—PRNewswire

BurgerFi, among the nation’s fastest growing, award-winning better burger concepts, will launch a new marketing campaign which will feature the tagline “BURGERS for Every 1.” The campaign will focus on the company’s mission to serve only the top 1% of best-tasting certified, American Black Angus beef from the top ranches across the country. Known for delivering the all-natural burger experience in a fast-casual environment, the brand has a commitment to quality food that ensures no steroids, antibiotics, growth hormones, chemicals or additives are ever used.

The new advertising campaign, created by Rochester, New York-based agency Partners + Napier, highlights the fact that everyone has a niche and ability to excel in something and they deserve to celebrate what qualities make them unique with a burger that is special too. Creative assets will also correlate these qualities to specific burgers on the menu and feature fun, unexpected imagery and headlines. The unique alpha-numerical tagline is representative of both the top 1% of beef used by BurgerFi that “never-ever” contains hormones, antibiotics, steroids, or additives, and the perspective that BurgerFi restaurants will continue to serve the millions of one-of-a-kind guests.

From chef-driven menu items including their unrivaled certified angus craft burgers, their newest plant-based Beyond Burger, hand-cut fries and onion rings to Vienna hot dogs, frozen custard and shakes, BurgerFi offers guests an uncompromising and rewarding dining experience.

The “BURGERS for Every 1” campaign was inspired by the fact that only about 1% of the beef produced in the United States meets the strict BurgerFi standard of quality. We offer an experience that isn’t purely for “burger lovers” or “environmentalists” or “families” but for every unique individual who wants to reward themselves with something better,” said BurgerFi CEO Corey Winograd. “Our approach to every aspect of the BurgerFi experience – from the friendliness of our team to our sustainability efforts and fresh better burgers – is that guests can see and taste the difference.”

The campaign will begin rolling out on January 29 via national and local digital media, pre-roll video, radio, social media, billboards, email and in-store displays.

About BurgerFi

Established in 2011, BurgerFi is among the nation’s fastest-growing better burger concepts with over 100 restaurants. The concept was founded by gourmet chefs committed to serving fresh food of transparent quality. BurgerFi uses only 100% natural Angus beef patties with no steroids, antibiotics, growth hormones, chemicals or additives. BurgerFi was included in Inc. magazine’s Fastest Growing Private Companies List, #4 on Fast Casual’s 2017 Top 100 Movers & Shakers list, and ranked on Entrepreneur’s 2017 Franchise 500.

The company was also ranked as one of the top 10 fastest and smartest-growing brands in franchising and a leader in the better burger category by Franchise Times in their Fast and Serious list for 2017. Visit www.BurgerFi.com for more information.
