Jazzman's Café & Bakery Unveils Watermelon Sensations

ALLENTOWN, PA, May 19, 2010 - Jazzman's Café & Bakery, the award-winning restaurant concept from Sodexo's Retail Brand Group announced today it will bring a summertime picnic classic to its stores this summer. Fresh watermelon, a typical staple in fruit salad, is stealing the show at Jazzman's with an exclusive infused green tea and a refreshing summer salad with feta cheese. Both items will debut on June 7th at over 100 Jazzman's locations nationwide and will be available through August.

"In developing the products for this season, Watermelon worked not only for its traditional summertime connection, but it's healthful appeal of being low calorie and packed with anti-oxidants like vitamins C and A," said Jazzman's Café & Bakery Executive Chef, Liz Schall. "I wanted to be creative with a summertime favorite that is refreshing & thirst quenching on a hot summer day. Salads with fruit are typical and I wanted to be edgy and give our guests a fruit rarely used in salads."
