Sweetie will be traveling the country this month in celebration of May’s Great American Road Trip, Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes brand new menu promotion, which highlights menu items from different regions of the country! In each tour city, Sweetie will host a one-night fundraiser where 20% of the day’s sales will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of America.  Sweetie’s 12-city trip kicks off on May 3rd where he’ll begin his travels in Florida and make his way back to Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes corporate headquarters in San Diego.

    ABOUT SWEET TOMATOES / SOUPLANTATION:

    Celebrating over 30 years, Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes was founded in 1978 in San Diego and currently operates 112 salad buffet-style restaurants across the western, southern and eastern portions of the United States. Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes cares about what comes out of guests’ wallets and into their bodies by creating an exceptional, all-you-care-to-eat dining experience with a daily selection of made-from-scratch soups and salads and hand-crafted muffins, focaccia, breads and tasty desserts.

Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes restaurants are open daily for lunch and dinner and also for a special Sunday Breakfast that features a variety of delicious morning favorites in addition to regular selections.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    Okay so Sweet Tomatoes is one of my favorite restaurants, it doesn’t hurt that my son’s are always on their best behavior there too!  I think we all love it because there is such a variety and it is all such yummy food.  I have yet to not like something there and I am a picky eater!  I think it is awesome that now just by visiting Sweet Tomatoes during their fundraiser night, that you you are automatically contributing to charity!  So not only will I stuff myself with delicious food, but I also will be helping out the Boys & Girls Clubs of America!

    I could probably eat at Sweet Tomatoes every night if my husband let me!  I will say it is costly for a family to go as it is around $10 an adult and $5 a child, but there are always great coupons in the Sunday coupon inserts and if you sign up for the newsletter than you get coupons emailed to you all the time!

    Don’t forget if you are in the Chicago area, to check out Sweetie on May 10th:

    ·         Glenview, from 4 – 5:15pm

    ·         Waukegan from 6:30 to 7:30 pm plus a special guest magician!

    ·         Schaumburg from 5-7pm

      My sister told me about your giveaway. She knows that I love Sweet Tomatoes but that my husband won’t go there because he thinks it’s overpriced when you’re not getting meat!! If he has to go out to eat, it’s McDonalds, Arby’s or Subway (but he will only get one of the $5 subs!).
