Press Release Summary = USA Network\'s hot, sexy show Burn Notice is putting South
Florida\'s \"antojitos\" (snacks) front and center. Can\'t be too long before the show\'s
star Jeffrey Donovan bites into a toston. And you can too . . .



Press Release Body = New York, NY (August 18, 2007) Tostobueno® LLC is the first
company to manufacture high-end ethnic kitchenware in eco-friendly bamboo, and the
company is currently adding The Sexto, in eco-friendly bamboo, to its The Ultimate
Tostonera® line. With The Sexto the chef can make six plantain cups or toston chips
at once. And Tostobueno® is not the only company with Hispanic on the brain;
mainstream TV seems to be jumping on the Hispanic bandwagon. And this is good for
all things Hispanic. But first -- a little Plantain knowledge.

Tostones are Patacones are Tachinos. In the end, it just depends if it's a
Dominican, Cuban, Colombian or Puerto Rican home serving what can be considered the
Latin equivalent of the American French Fry. Tostones--sliced fried green plantains,
smashed and refried--are served in many Latin homes for lunch and/or dinner up to
three, four times a week. It's tradition. "Everyone becomes a child when presented
with a toston," said Chef DonClark, Ambassador of PlantainsT. "The toston speaks to
the reverence that Latinos have when it comes to their food and certainly their
family, and when you put the two together, fun is never far behind."

Evolution of a Toston? Well . . . Hardly. Why? Time Consuming to Make
Until now! After four years of studying the tostonera, on June 26th, 2006, Chef
DonClark was issued a design patent on Tostobueno, The Ultimate Tostonera®. And with
that, Chef DonClark gave the plantain a culinary life beyond the toston. Now there
are plantain cups or "rellenos" with a choice of savory or sweet toppings, delicious
stuffed plantain pockets or the toston sandwiches with pernil. What!?!?!? You've
never tried it???? Mmmmmmm

And Tostones are HOT! Ahhh. Caliente, that is
And Chef DonClark is right on time: "Hispanicness" is muy CALIENTE at the moment.
Why? Maybe, it's the numbers. Look around, Hispanics are EVERYWHERE.

Or Maybe it's the Sex?
The sexy allure of "HISPANICNESS" has finally hit mainstream and this time it's not
just Crocket and Tubbs in their Michael Mann best, fighting crime on South Beach.
There's Shakira and her sensual Latina earthiness. And the beautiful Ugly Betty
brought to America by Salma Hayek. How about that Mojito commercial, hips gyrating
to the beat of the bartender smashing away at the mint. Or The Food Network with
Simply Delicioso. Even Goya commercials have gone mainstream. And then, there is
Burn Notice, the sizzling hot, new show on USA Network. Picking up right where Miami
Vice left off. It's the same typical smart ass getting in and out of trouble, but
with the show's sexy star occasionally stopping for his shot of Café Cubano. You
can see the pastelitos. And all those little Cuban "antojitos" (snacks) that makes a
South Florida coffee break so "rico"!

Get Your Cup On
Let's face it. tostones or a toston cup with caramelized apples, walnuts and whipped
cream cannot be far behind. It's the plantain meets the apple pie. Assimilation at
its best! ?

So yes, for one month starting September 15th, lets all walk down the ethnic food
aisle. Let Chef DonClark, Ambassador of PlantainsT show your readers/viewers how to
create a new twist to an old favorite in minutes.
