Irvine, CA (January 2009) - Research shows that even during tough economic times, consumers are still planning to eat out at their favorite spots…maybe not as often and they may watch what they order, but eating out will continue. Savvy operators need to look for ways to add incentives and reasons to drive traffic through their door, and with Fresh Hass Avocados they won't need to look any further. With year-round availability, the creamy, nutty flavor of Fresh Hass Avocados fits most menus during every season with vivid color, texture and pizzazz.

With love in the air this spring, promote a love-fest with Fresh Hass Avocados and classic menu items. Take the classic club sandwich and turn it into an Avocado Chicken Club Salad with luscious slices of Fresh Hass Avocados draped around the salad for a dramatic presentation.
