Tostitos®, in partnership with Chef Susur Lee, has introduced the Tostitos® Tasting Window. This cheeky marketing venture was inspired by Florence's wine windows.
The Tostitos® Tasting Window aims to highlight the versatility of Tostitos® tortilla chips as a base for diverse culinary creations. The tasting experience, featuring dishes crafted by Chef Lee, was available in Toronto from May 22nd to the 26th, and in Vancouver, it will run from June 5th to the 9th.
Visitors to the Tostitos® Tasting Window receive a complimentary three-bite sample designed by Chef Lee. The Toronto menu included a Thai coconut and pineapple dip, a bacon Caesar dip, and a miso ginger tofu dip. In Vancouver, offerings will include an Indonesian sambal onion cashew dip, garlic butter wild B.C. shrimp dip, and a harissa, date, and pinenut dip.
