Welcome to our first scratch-n-sniff newsletter! Thanks to newly released AI technology, we've specially coded the photos in this issue to not only delight your visual sense but also stimulate your olfactory sense as well (pro tip: ya gotta get real close to your screen)! That’s not the only advancement we’re rolling out on this first day of April…to coincide with our one day Gobblerito event on April 14, we’re announcing our Big Azz Gobblerita! That’s a 22 ounce glass of Gobblerito gravy featuring a savory sage stuffing rim topped with a cranberry floater.
But seriously–this month brings us Easter Brunch, special menus at Casbah, Kaya & Soba and the annual return of our fowl friend, The Gobblerito. Plus we’re setting tables for our out-of-town NFL Draft guests. Have you ever wanted to be a chef for big Burrito? Well now you can with our make-at-home Alta Via pasta packages debuting this week at several Market District locations (no foolin’). |
