Matt-
Great job on this press release! I have just a few suggestions, I would change one thing on your contact information at the top- put "James Muellenbach I, CEO" before the address. I would also add a comma after "CEO" in the second paragraph to set apart the title. I loved the part where you wrote about the "traditional menu favorites" so that it didn't downplay the menu they already have! At the end you need to add a boilerplate, but other then that this was a great press release! Good job!
