Healthy Fast-er Food Eatery Opens Location In Heart of New York City

NEW YORK, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Empanada Joe's, the gourmet "grab and go"
food company, today opened in New York City's Times Square.  Located at 683
8th Avenue, this is the second of three Empanada Joe's restaurants to open in
New York City this year.  The innovative eatery provides New Yorkers with
healthier meal options, proving that convenient meals and snacks do not have
to skimp on wholesomeness, freshness or flavor.  Thanks to its wide-ranging,
all-natural empanada offerings, Empanada Joe's has turned up the heat on their
fast food competition, causing those lesser food forms to shake in their
preservative-packed buns.  

Responding to consumer desire for more health-conscious menu options, Empanada
Joe's introduces an improved take on the classic Latin American "street food"
to the discerning palates of city dwellers.  Mouthwateringly delicious and
bursting with flavor, empanadas are flaky baked pockets, stuffed with fresh
delectable ingredients.  They guarantee that all their partners are selected
with the utmost care for how they produce and market - which means naturally
raised and fed meat; fresh, chemical-free ingredients; and green awareness,
always.  With all-natural, preservative and additive-free offerings, Empanada
Joe's awakens and enliven palates everywhere jaded from flavorless meals
loaded with calories, preservatives, and other unnatural ingredients,
reminding New Yorkers that real, wholesome food is the ultimate attainable
luxury.  

Disproving that fresh, wholesome meals are time-consuming to create, the
authentic, never frozen and always cooked-to-order empanadas go from oven to
mouth in only two minutes - making them the ultimate "grab and go" meal. 
Diners can watch their meal bake before their eyes and feel good about
choosing wholesome fast-er food.  Empanada Joe's prides itself on informing
customers where all of their fresh ingredients are sourced, ensuring that
curious and picky diners alike will always feel good about their culinary
choices.  The man behind the concept, Joseph Tesone, goes the extra mile from
the hiring of staff to the creation of the product to ensure the consumer's
experience is unique and memorable.  

Tantalizing empanada options include Rio Chicken, Argentine Beef, Rojo Pulled
Pork, Veggie Mama and Egg-and-Cheese. Tempting dessert empanadas including
Apples and Cinnamon and Bananas and Chocolate round out menu and ensure that
diners can enjoy Empanada Joe's gourmet offerings morning, noon and night.

Isn't life delicious?

Empanada Joe's eateries are located at 683 8th Avenue at 43rd Street and 2857
Broadway at 111th Street in Manhattan.
