			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://blog.souplantation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/KitchenCabinet-FINAL.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-238" title="Kitchen Cabinet-Final" src="http://blog.souplantation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/KitchenCabinet-FINAL.jpg" alt="Kitchen Cabinet-Final" width="233" height="346" /></a>In 2007 we founded our Kitchen Cabinet ®, a group of twelve ladies that served a three-year term and provided us with opinions on our brand, menu, new products, prototype design and promotions.  Twice a year they joined us in San Diego at our Corporate Headquarters to meet face-to-face and discuss their recent restaurant experiences and taste new and conceptual menu items.</p>
<p>Last June (2009), their term ended.  While sad to lose a group of such committed and dedicated ladies, we took it as an opportunity to reorganize and relaunch the program.  One of our favorite aspects of the Kitchen Cabinet was meeting and hearing from our most loyal guests.  Our new Cabinet is designed with this in mind, and provides more people a chance to be a part of this special group.</p>
<p>Every six months, we will pick fifteen new guests to come to San Diego for an overnight stay.  They will try new foods, talk about their experiences in our restaurants and discuss our brand.  The day will end with a happy hour and dinner with our Executive Team.</p>
<p>There are three ways guests can be chosen to win a seat on our Cabinet:</p>
<ol>
<li>Be      a Club Veg member <a href="http://www.facebook.com/souplantation">www.souplantation.com</a></li>
<li>Follow      us on Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/souplantation">http://twitter.com/souplantation</a></li>
<li>Be      a Facebook Fan <a href="http://www.facebook.com/souplantation">www.facebook.com/souplantation</a></li>
</ol>
<p>We will choose one Twitter follower, one Facebook Fan and the rest from our Club Veg guests.</p>
<p>Take the survey at <a href="http://bit.ly/7RczuD" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/7RczuD</a> before January 31 to qualify.</p>
<p>This means each year we’ll meet thirty new people.  Thirty new voices.  We are really excited about the evolution of this very special guest council. During January we sent out a call-out for new members that will be coming to our office in March. Stay tuned to hear how their visit goes and what we learn from them.</p>
