NOT YOUR AVERAGE JOE'S RESTAURANTS NAMES CONTEST WINNER

ACTON, Mass. - Not Your Average Joe’s opened its doors in Dartmouth, Mass. twenty years ago and celebrated their anniversary recently with a plate full of guest appreciation events including a drawing to win a four-day, five-night trip for two to Northern California, home to Not Your Average Joe’s pizza recipe.

The winner is Peg Molander of Boxboro, Mass. who visited the Acton, Mass. location and filled out the winning entry. “Our server suggested we enter the contest and I’m thrilled to be the winner. Talk about a great recommendation,” she said.

Ms. Molander who started going to Not Your Average Joe’s in Acton as soon as it opened, added, “There weren’t a lot of choices for restaurants so Joe’s was a welcome addition. It’s great not to have to go into Boston for a good meal at a great price.”

As the contest winner, Ms. Molander will have five days and four nights in northern California, including a cooking class at the legendary Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, cocktails and tastings on the deck of Auberge du Soleil and dinner at a highly rated northern California restaurant.

“It’s all about making our 20th anniversary special for the people who got us where we are today — our guests,” said founder and CEO Steve Silverstein.

Headquartered in Middleboro, Mass. and founded in 1994 by Steve Silverstein, Not Your Average Joe’s has 20 locations in the Boston and in the Washington, D.C. market area including their newest opening in Glen Mills, Pa. and is satisfying a seemingly limitless hunger for global cuisine with local flavor.
