Noodles & Company Chooses Asparagus for Starring Role in New Dish and
Red Carpet Video
Restaurant's Supporting Cast of Fresh Vegetables are Not Happy
DENVER (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) March 26, 2008 --
Asparagus premieres her Linguine with Fresh Asparagus bowl today
at Noodles & Company
restaurants across the U.S. In celebration of her new dish,
this fresh, spring star ascended the red carpet, followed by a visibly
disgruntled trio of supporting vegetables. The restaurant posted video
footage of her Hollywood moment today at www.noodles.com/home/noodlesasparagus.aspx.
“I applaud the chef for choosing me as
his muse for this fresh new recipe,” said Asparagus.
“I'm a totally fabulous vegetable, and he gets
that about me.” Noodles & Company's new Linguine
with Fresh Asparagus features tender asparagus spears, roma
tomatoes and linguine tossed in a light sauce of olive oil, butter,
lemon, balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs topped with parmesan.
Critics are calling this her best dish yet. “After
eating it, I had a spearitual restaurant experience,”
said M.F.K. Fennel, author of The Art of Delicious Vegetable Eating.
“Asparagus is fresh, saucy and confident in
this recipe,” said Alice Watercress from Chez
Bon Appetit You May Eat Vegetables magazine. “She
delivers a firm, flavorful and memorable performance,”
said Ima Foody from Eat Delicious Vegetables Daily Blog.
“That's fresh,”
said Asparagus. “I've known for practically
ever that I'm delicious and talented and quite nutritious
so I'm not surprised they feel this way. Look, I'm obviously fat-free,
cholesterol-free and only a few calories per stalk. I'm high in
folic acid and a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamins B6, A and C,
as well as thiamin and rutin, which are very important anti-oxidants.”
Even the Michigan
Asparagus Advisory Board calls her one of nature's most perfect
foods.
Asparagus is very comfortable in her starring role at the restaurant and
online. “I love talking about myself
and love it when others talk about me too - so being the star of Noodles
& Company's new dish is perfect for me. In fact, you should totally
visit my Facebook
page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Asparagus/11791891681,
where I reveal exclusive, private information and have posted personal
photos along with some of my totally fresh magazine covers, like Maxhim,
Veggies and Selfish.”
Asparagus may be happy as the absolute center of attention, but Noodles
& Company's cast of supporting vegetables is obviously annoyed. “She's
simply gone too far this time,” said Tomato.
“Every spring we put up with this inane
Asparagus hoopla - but this year she's even outdone herself. Her red
carpet antics are an embarrassment to any vegetable with a shred
of dignity,” said Broccoli.
“Asparagus was the natural fit for the dish.
She's long and lean, well-trimmed and firm, fresh and delicious,”
said Noodles & Company chef Ross Kamens. “We
deeply appreciate the freshness, hard work and nutritional
value of Tomato, Broccoli, and Carrot, and value each of their
unique flavors. Their supporting roles on our menu are crucial to the
ongoing success of Noodles & Company.”

noodle bowls, soups and salads inspired by culinary traditions from
