New York, NY, December 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- To address the growing demand for healthier food options: Taft Foodmasters hosted its first tasting and official launch of the Halal Certified Vegetarian Seasoned Seitan Gyro on November 10th, 2011.

At approximately 12:30 PM, there was a line of media personnel, restaurateurs, food distributors, food bloggers, magazine editors and invited foodies waiting to get first look and a taste of the highly anticipated delectable. Camera lights were flashing, bloggers were blogging, foodies tasted, and reporters did not miss a beat; all cameras were in focus on “the Vegetarian Seasoned Seitan Gyro.” Among other local media attendees capturing the meatless tasty story, were Dr. Roger Hanwehr of Transterra Media, correspondent Julia Mineeva of WVBF Boston Radio, T.V Producer Dorothy Dunne of TV35 NY, Liberty TV Online, Cooks.com and lifestyle blogger Alice Chin.
An hour later, the tasting event was in full swing as guests kept arriving… and arriving.

Excitement and buzz surrounded the featured “Halal Certified Vegetarian Seasoned Seitan Gyro,” which was also served with other Taft Foodmasters creations including; the delicious white bean salad and complimenting Mediterranean foods. Also on the tasting menu were samplers from Tian at the River Bank, The Long Island Gyro Company and Krunch Pizza Bar.
