Postino is running its fourth annual Battle of the Bruschetta starting June 15, a bracket-style customer-vote competition in which six limited-time bruschetta flavors compete for a permanent spot on the chain's fall menu, according to Phoenix New Times and Arizona Foothills Magazine.
The six contenders, all created by Postino team members, are Cherry Mostarda, PB/Bacon/Banana, Roast Beef and Horseradish, Muffuletta, Smashed Pea, and Pear and Cambozola. That field is expanded from four contestants in last year's edition. Matchups run in three two-week phases: June 15-30, July 1-15, and July 15-31. The championship round follows August 1-15, with the winning flavor announced August 17 on Postino's social media channels.
Guests vote via QR code at any Postino location or through the chain's Battle of the Bruschetta webpage. The competition is available at Postino locations nationwide.
Postino is part of Sam Fox's Fox Restaurant Concepts, the Phoenix-based group whose Arizona portfolio also includes North Italia, Flower Child, The Henry, Culinary Dropout, Doughbird, Blanco Tacos and Tequila, and Olive and Ivy. The bruschetta board format, which lets guests build shareable snacks from a rotating slate of toppings, is among the chain's signature offerings.
The championship round opens August 1; the winning flavor joins the fall menu.
