Wicked Eats by Cat Cora is the latest exclusive collaboration
between Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) and Chef Cora, a TV personality,
author, restaurateur and lifestyle entrepreneur. Inspired by the
vibe and energy of the bustling street, Wicked Eats incorporates
this buzz into a new street eats concept that maintains quick
convenience, while highlighting the Mediterranean culture, through
its offerings.
“I’m excited to expand my partnership with Aramark with the
launch of a new healthy and savory dining experience, Wicked Eats
by Cat Cora,” said Chef Cora. “We continue to work together to
create innovative dining solutions that encourage healthy eating
through fun, creative concepts. Through OLILO and now Wicked Eats,
we have an opportunity to impact consumers’ lifestyles with healthy
options that are delicious and flavorful while bringing
to life the culinary cultures of Greece, Morocco,
Spain and the Mediterranean."
“Through our partnership with Cat Cora and the opening of Wicked
Eats we’re not only continuing to elevate the dining experience for
office employees, college students, healthcare workers and other
consumers, we’re also delivering on our commitment to provide them
with innovative, convenient, flavorful and healthy food options,”
said Marc Bruno, Aramark’s Chief Operating Officer for Business
Dining. “Chef Cora’s advocacy for healthy cooking and eating well
is highly-regarded and we look forward to continuing our work with
her to further transform the dining environment for everyone we
serve.”
At Wicked Eats by Cat Cora, guests can experience Mediterranean
street foods from Greece, Morocco, Spain and the Middle East,
through traditional or “mash-up” recipes. The menu features four
signature options, including pita wraps, couscous bowls, topped
fries and salad bowls. Each menu item can be customized to the
guest’s preference, with their choice of protein, vegetable side
and sauce.
Wicked Eats by Cat Cora is the second collaboration between
Aramark and Chef Cora. Their first dining concept, OLILO by Cat
Cora, brought Chef Cora’s signature Mediterranean tastes and
flavors to corporate dining locations across the country. Since
joining forces with Aramark, Chef Cora’s creations have been
featured at over 300 client locations, with OLILO by Cat Cora now
available across the Aramark portfolio, including in Business
Dining, Higher Education and Healthcare accounts, as well as OLILO
Catering available in convention centers.
Aramark’s partnership with Cat Cora continues to elevate the
dining experience of all its consumers while supporting Aramark’s
Healthy for Life® 20 By 20 commitment to improve the way Americans
eat by empowering them to make healthy food, nutrition and
lifestyle choices. Wicked Eats by Cat Cora further expands this
commitment by leveraging Chef Cora’s expert knowledge and bringing
innovative and nutritious options to the table.
