The contest Louisiana Seafood for Life is calling all
restaurants! Chefs are invited to create a healthy menu item utilizing
Louisiana seafood as the primary source of protein, then enter their recipe and
information into the form here. Recipes must be under 600 calories and less
than 20 grams of fat per serving.
“We take for granted the healthy benefits of Louisiana seafood,”
said Ewell Smith, Executive Director of the LSPMB. “The bounty from our waters
is an outstanding source of lean protein and omega-3’s.”
One might wonder, what is the incentive for a restaurant to
create a healthy menu item using Louisiana seafood?
“Current trends point to diners seeking healthy options when
eating out in restaurants,” said Wendy Waren, VP of Communications for the
Louisiana Restaurant Association. “Secondly, there’s a huge potential financial
benefit from participating in the Louisiana Seafood for Life program—a $10,000
in media advertising for the winning restaurant.”
How does a restaurant become a winner? The LSPMB will
continually promote the program and highlight the online restaurant listings
along with their menu items. The public will then vote on their favorite
Louisiana Seafood for Life healthy seafood dish and the winner will reap the
great reward of recognition and advertising in their market.
The promotion starts now and runs through November 30, 2012.
