CookUnity Hides Cash-Filled Tomato Cans Nationwide to Celebrate the Return of Pop Culture’s Hottest Chef

National scavenger hunt across iconic culinary destinations turns restaurant galley surprise into reality

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CookUnity, the 100% chef-led meal delivery platform, is calling on Americans to say “yes, chef” and join the hunt for its latest campaign: the ‘Tomato Can Cash Drop,’ a nationwide scavenger hunt hiding thousands of dollars in cash and prizes inside tomato cans across major U.S. cities.

From Friday, June 20th to Tuesday, June 24th participants can head to CookUnity’s Instagram (@cookunity) for daily drops and clues in culinary hotspots across the country, including;

Each tomato can contains $500 USD in cash and $500 in CookUnity meal credits, so lucky winners can enjoy meals crafted by elite chefs, like the chefs we love binge-watching on TV. CookUnity knows a thing or two about award-winning chefs, with the brand’s meals crafted from some of the world’s most critically acclaimed masters, including James Beard Award Winner Jose Garces, Iron Chef Cat Cora, James Beard Award Winner Rick Bayless, and more.

“CookUnity’s mission is to connect real people with the talents, passions, and nourishing food of the very best chefs,” said Cam Ferrin, VP of Brand Marketing at CookUnity. “Our culture is obsessed with chefs and inspiring food, but the way we eat every day is far from that ideal. ‘Tomato Can Cash Drop’ is our way of celebrating pop culture’s love for chefs, while also trying to close that gap and redefine our standards for daily eating, by bringing the expertise of chefs off our TV screens and onto our tables, every day.”
