Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes is celebrating its 30th anniversary in July with an essay contest to find and reward its most remarkable patrons. Guests are asked to draft a 200-word essay describing why they or someone they know is remarkable using a memorable story related to Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes restaurants. Winners will receive complimentary meals at Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes and the honor of being named one of “30 Remarkable Guests.”
“Our thirtieth anniversary should really be a celebration of our guests because it’s their loyal patronage that has kept our company going strong for so many years,” says Michael Mack, CEO of Garden Fresh Restaurant Corp., parent company of Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes.
The “30 Remarkable Guests” contest, which will take place July 1 through July 31, will be judged by Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes’ Kitchen Cabinet advisory panel, comprised of 10 influential moms from around the country. The essays will be judged on originality and creativity, appropriateness to subject matter, composition, and sincerity.
