Two gung-ho gusto! fans are ousting the usual advertisers gracing the billboards located above Green’s Beverages on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Midtown. The faces of Alexis Louder and John Harris Britton, #gustobillboardchampionship winners, will beam down from the billboard for two weeks each this month. The fall “board” game contest is the brainchild of gusto! founder Nate Hybl, conceived as a bold way to show appreciation for guests who champion his brand and embrace the Atlanta community. Guests could submit entry slips at either gusto! location (Midtown and Buckhead) or tag three friends on any gusto! Facebook or Instagram post. Winners Louder and Britton were chosen at random through in-store and social media drawings. Louder, a Cobb County resident who digs the chipotle mango avocado gusto, frequents gusto! because it’s “quick, healthy and soooo tasty!” Midtown resident Britton has only been in Atlanta a couple of months. He’s already in love with the thoughtfully crafted blend of flavor profile ingredients at gusto! -- especially the apple curry peanut gusto. Both Louder and Britton love visiting Piedmont Park. Fortunately, the park’s proximity to gusto! on Ponce bodes well for their smiling faces to gravitate toward their favorite happy, healthy mealtime spot.
New Year’s resolutions overwhelmingly revolve around physical well-being, yet while 40 percent of Americans make resolutions, only 8 percent actually follow through. Having a healthy/tasty/timely and cost-conscious buddy like gusto! helps make these goals reachable. Nate Hybl, gusto! founder and a former athlete, encourages Atlantans to venture beyond regional menu boundaries and awaken their senses with the fresh, global flavors of the fresh bowls and wraps served at the eatery’s two locations (Ponce and Peachtree). Sticking to the healthy eating plan is easy since gusto! serves a simple menu of bowls and wraps topped with chicken, shrimp or portabella mushroom -- combined with thoughtfully crafted blends of ingredients that add distinct flavor profiles and textures to each entrée. International and American flavor profiles promoting fresh flavors, not fat, are known as “gustos” and can be hot, bright, earthy or sweet, like tahini cucumber feta or sweet soy Sriracha. Guests may choose to add avocado to any order, and each entrée comes with house-made sweet potato chips. Entrée foundations -- flatbread wraps, mixed greens and brown rice -- thrill vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free followers. Beneficial ingredients, such as turmeric, snow peas, mangoes and chickpeas along with all-natural antibiotic-free chicken and wild-caught shrimp, steer everyone in a healthier direction. The fast-casual restaurant uses local, organic ingredients whenever possible and still keeps all entrées in the $8.95-$10.95 price zone. Fast, friendly and affordable gusto! keeps your resolve intact as you achieve those 2018 goals.
