<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hyatt
Regency San Francisco Airport has just introduced a new technology feature,
which aids in the privacy and convenience of the guest check in/check out
process. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
innovative product, H</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">eadsUp FD, is a computer access
solution, which uses proximity badges and RFID (radio frequency identification)
to automate the manual login and logout process of the hotel’s front desk PC’s. This allows front desk agents to quickly and
securely get in and out of shared computers without constantly typing user
names and passwords. The proximity badge is read when it’s held within three
inches or simply tapped on an electronic reader RFID Reader. Each front desk
agent is assigned their own proximity badge. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">HeadsUp FD promotes compliance with
data privacy and other security guidelines so that shared front desk
workstations are more secure from prying eyes. The simplified user workflow
naturally and elegantly modifies the user behavior, which is what leads to a
more secure workflow. Without HeadsUp FD, the manual login and logout process
of typing a user name and password takes more time, particularly in shared
workstation environments where front desk agents are logging in and out
multiple times per day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In addition to the speed and
convenience of this new technology feature, benefits include compliance with
the hotel’s individual procedures and more security of guests’ personal
information. Guests also benefit because HeadsUp FD users can provide a higher
level of guest service by reducing time spent interacting with the computer,
thus increasing the “heads up” time front desk agents have with their guest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">One
of the top ten airport hotels in the country, business travelers and
conventioneers staying at Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport will certainly appreciate the convenience and
reliability that HeadsUp FD offers. Further,
the hotel’s location as the gateway to Silicon Valley is perfectly suited to
extend cutting edge services for today’s traveler.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“We
are honored to have HeadsUp FD at Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport. Hyatt is a trend setter and innovator when it
comes to technology.” said Neal Berz, President and Chief Executive Officer of
MIS Computer. "Our HeadsUp FD
solution enables the hotel to enhance the quality of guest service, giving
front desk agents more heads up time with their guests, improving agent
satisfaction and workflow efficiencies and facilitating agent compliance with
security and privacy regulations such as PCI.
Our customers also report that it helps them decrease security risks
associated with 'piggy-backing' (two agents sharing the same computer
session). HeadsUp FD replaces the need
to manually log in and log out multiple times per day with an easier and more
convenient, secure tap of the badge for quick access to their own unique user
session."</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

According to Robb Webb, Chief Human Resources Officer for Hyatt Hotels Corporation, "I am thrilled proud to announce today that Hyatt has been named a recipient of the 2013 Gallup Great Workplace Award."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
This is the second year Hyatt has received the award, which is based on the most rigorous workplace research ever conducted. The<br />Award recognizes the best-performing workforces in the world, and Hyatt has been chosen for our ability to create a<br />productive and engaged workplace culture.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
In a given year, Gallup partners globally with approximately 350 companies to actively measure their workplace<br />engagement. This equates to more than 7.8 million survey respondents and more than 1,024,000 workgroups across 179<br />countries annually. Of these participating companies, approximately 10% earn the Gallup Great Workplace Award. For us to<br />once again earn this recognition is a testament to each of our associates who makes a difference in the lives of our guests and<br />colleagues each and every day.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
Webb continues, "Every time we walk through the doors of our hotels or offices to begin our days, and every time we engage with one another,<br />building and sustaining a positive experience at work for our colleagues around the world is our priority. Thank you for your<br />ongoing commitment to making Hyatt such a great workplace."</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As the best in class hotel in the San
Francisco Bay Area, Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport is committed to the
community and is proud that the hotel’s Assistant Director of Human Resources,
Debbie Orita, was recently honored at the Peninsula Recognition of Passionate
Service Awards. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Hosted by the San Mateo/Silicon Valley County’s
Convention and Visitors Bureau, Debbie was the recipient of their first annual
Community Service Award and the prestigious recognition was richly deserved for
Debbie’s dedicated service to Canine Companions for Independence (CCI).</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: .05in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">CCI is a non-profit organization that
enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained
assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. Most
recently, Debbie successfully raised Oahu, a beautiful black Labrador/Golden
Retriever mixed puppy that the entire Hotel came to love. Debbie selflessly
donated her time in training Oahu for 18 months (April 2011-November 2012),
teaching Oahu up to 30 basic commands in preparation of the next series of
training from CCI’s professional dog trainers…the end goal being to become an
assistant for a person who has a special need. There could be no long, relaxing
evenings for Debbie as she could not spend more than 4 hours away from Oahu at
a time. Also due to the demanding time
constraints, Debbie brought Oahu to work to care for her every day. Of course
many hotel associates enjoyed the benefits of having a dog to visit and play
with during the day, but Debbie’s associates did not experience the immense
responsibility that she happily assumed as a puppy raiser for CCI. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: .05in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Debbie comments, “I volunteer with CCI
because I love dogs and it’s also a good opportunity to work with animals who
provide a great benefit for someone who has a disability.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: .05in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">According to General Manager Keith
Butz, “One of the great advantages of working at Hyatt Regency San Francisco
Airport is that our associates are encouraged to get involved in community
service.” He continues, “We are very
proud of Debbie’s achievements and hope that all of our employees feel
compelled to exercise their passions for community service as well.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">When it
comes to weddings, there are so many details that are taken into account. The
décor, the music, the dress, the colors, invitations and the lists go on.
However, there are always a few primary elements that leave a lasting impression
on guests. Let’s face it, everybody walks away talking about the look, feel and
sounds of the reception, but most importantly, the food. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">For
centuries, food has been at the center of all occasions, including social
events, family gatherings and especially marital unions. So, in order to execute a successful wedding,
the food must be nothing shy of spectacular. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Chefs at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport place a particular focus on
the food. Realizing that the menu is critical, the culinary team “feeds” the
taste buds with their creativity and flavors of the season. Our Chefs find
local, season and fresh ingredients to develop a menu that leave guests begging
for more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
A magical day is only as special as the hands in the pot that ensure
all goes off without a hitch. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>

reputation for producing memorable celebrations that leave lasting impressions
on our guests and their loved ones. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
But we can’t take all the credit. While our experienced banquet staff,
hard-working convention services team, delightful chefs, and seasoned catering managers
place a high priority on designing the perfect wedding, we rely just as heavily
on the vendors with which we partner. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
We realize as a hotel, there is only so much we can provide for our
guests. So, over the years, we have developed relationships with like-minded vendors
we find just as reliable, hard-working, and caring as our team.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
This is why we do our best to make it easy on brides to select from a
preferred vendor list so they can stay on trend. With our partners, we are also able to ensure
that our guests receive only the best service from everyone they come in
contact with, whether it be references for DJ’s, décor vendors, professional wedding
coordinators, the in-house AV team, photographers, you name it. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
With our unlimited resources for information and vendors, our job does
not end with servicing on just the hotel side, but with all the partners that
help create your special day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
It’s our passion and commitment that this once-in-a-lifetime celebration
is given all of the care you deserve. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
BURLINGAME — On a recent visit to sample the culinary talents of Chef Herb Ng at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport hotel in Burlingame, the “oohs and ahs” circulated around the table as we diners tasted the chef’s creative fare.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
The point of the meal was very simple: to illustrate the idea that airport hotel food can, indeed, be quite good.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
And good it was – in fact, I’d say great!</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
Of all the plates we tasted, my favorite was Ng’s Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass, prepared with fresh-water rock shrimp, black forbidden rice and shellfish veloute.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
This dish was everything I’ve always expected of sea bass, but especially its prized silken texture, which Ng’s careful hand made sure was there to appreciate.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
In a later interview with Ng, the chef explained what went into his work on this particular dish:</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
“You know, a lot of times people tend to lose their focus and try to do too much. I always like to let the product speak for itself.”</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
Ng went on to stress that, for cooking the sea bass, “it was probably the most basic cooking technique: don’t overcook it, you don’t have to do much to it.”</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
“At the end of the day,” he said, “it’s really about knowing your product, getting it as fresh as possible, and let the product speak for itself.”</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
Of course, there are certain foods which require more time, he said, like short ribs, for example. But when simplicity is called for, simplicity is what you should aim for.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
Ng, who has been at the Hyatt in Burlingame for almost five years, brings a rich background to his work. He graduated from the culinary arts program at San Francisco City College and has spent the better part of his career working in hotel industry cuisine, including Marriott.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
Ng admitted that there is a “stigma” to hotel banquet food but, he said, “we try our best to always try and put that restaurant spin into all the catering that we do here. ” One thing that attracted Ng to Hyatt, he pointed out, “is their focus on food.”</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
The complete special sampling menu included these other dishes: A plated starter of sliced duck breast with caramelized butternut squash, toasted couscous and port wine gastrique.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
Family-style main dishes included arugula, frisee salad with bosc pear, candied walnut, Point Reyes blue heirloom tomatoes, Hass avocado, creamy burrata cheese, basil oil, basil reduction, cider-brined organic chicken breast stuffed with forest mushrooms, brown rice, sun-dried cranberry dressing, herb-crusted beef tenderloin, scallop baby potatoes, sautéed spinach, red onion marmalade, pan-seared Chilean sea bass and, for dessert, chocolate mousse with roasted banana.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
The next morning, I sampled the hotel’s Sunday Champagne Jazz Brunch, held under the spectacular atrium. There was so much variety to sample – from eggs and pancakes to Chinese – that I just didn’t know where to start!</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
The hotel also features a more informal menu at its Knuckles Historical Sports Bar, where one can watch the latest game on wide-screen TVs, but be prepared to put up with some of the noise you normally will find in a sports bar.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
My room at the hotel was well-appointed and comfortable and looked out at the giant atrium.</div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<strong style="line-height: inherit;"><br /></strong></div>
<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: inherit;">
<strong style="line-height: inherit;">If you go: </strong>The hotel is south of San Francisco, off Highway 101. More information is available at 650-347-1234 or http://sanfranciscoairport.hyatt.com.</div>

only one of the many reasons couples are selecting this venue among their many
options in the Bay Area. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
addition to the hotel’s ideal location, out-of-town guests enjoy sticking
around an extra night or two to soak in a little R+R of their own.</div>

The city of Burlingame does not only serve as the home of the
Hyatt Regency’s breathtaking venue, the destination also has a little romance
of its own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Burlingame’s quaint
downtown offers an old-town feel featuring a range of dining options, great
shopping and even a weekly farmer’s market. Guests can easily get lost in a
whirlwind of fun in this area. And, it’s as easy as hopping on the
complimentary Downtown Burlingame Trolley to take a tour of the town.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
While
the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport boasts the most convenient hotel
accommodations for meetings and events, the property is also surrounded by
several intriguing off-site venues that are convenient options for those that
want a little diversity in their agenda.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">One
of the hotel’s new favorite recommendations is the science museum CuriOdyssey,
which is located only five minutes from the hotel in the natural setting of
Coyote Point Recreation Area.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
CuriOdyssey features stunning views of the San
Francisco Bay as well as the city of San Francisco and is an ideal option for
any event, including: weddings, company retreats, off-site meetings, cocktail
receptions, b'nai mitzvah, family parties, special occasions and fundraising
events.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The museum’s Redwood Hall is largely composed of
rich, repurposed wood and the room features a unique, multi-tiered space that
allows groups to occupy part of or the entire facility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For evening events, guests have access
to the beautiful gardens and CuriOdyssey’s main building, which houses a
variety of fascinating interactive exhibits.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
And…here’s one little tip:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with prior arrangement with the
museum’s Wildlife Department, groups may opt to include an up close encounter
with one of the many animal ambassadors.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">CuriOdyssey’s capacity for the Redwood Hall is 350
for a cocktail reception and 300 for a seated function.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Available in the evening only, the
entire museum can accommodate 500 for cocktails and 300 for a seated
event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For more information, visit

During the show, audiences will fly over the San Andreas fault before
diving into the planet’s interior, travel back in time to witness both
the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the break-up of Pangaea 200
million years ago, and much more. Concurrently, an 8,000-square-foot
exhibit will debut in the west hall of the<br />
Academy, featuring large-scale installations such as a walk-through
model of the Earth, an enclosure for live baby ostriches (yes, there are
surprising connections between earthquakes and ostriches!), an
earthquake simulator resembling an old Victorian home, and an
interactive space designed to teach earthquake preparedness.</span></div>

<br /> <br />
With a variety of San
Francisco Bay cruises available on a daily basis, <a href="http://redandwhite.com/" target="_blank">Red and White Fleet</a> is
the perfect setting for those interested in catching the action on the
bay during the America’s Cup World Series from August 21-26 and October
2-7, 2012. The dates and times for the August races correspond with Red
and White Fleet’s cruise schedule as follows: <br />
<br />
Aug 21, 1-4pm: <br />
12:30pm & 2:15pm Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise <br />
1:15pm, 1:45pm, 2:30pm & 3pm Golden Gate Bay Cruise <br />
<br />
Aug 22, 2-4pm: <br />
2:15pm Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise <br />
1:45pm, 2:30pm & 3pm Golden Gate Bay Cruise <br />
<br />
Aug 23, 2-4pm: <br />
2:15pm Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise <br />
1:45pm, 2:30pm & 3pm Golden Gate Bay Cruise <br />
<br />
Aug 24, 2-4pm: <br />
2:15pm Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise <br />

<br />

12:30pm Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise <br />
11:15am, Noon, 1:15pm Golden Gate Bay Cruise <br />
<br />
<br />
Sure
to make a great impact on the beautiful city-by-the-bay, each of the
regattas is a combination of practice and championship racing, with
additional practice sailing on-site ahead of each event. <br />
<br />
And to
complement all the festivities on the bay, Red and White Fleet will be
cruising within close proximity to the races, which occur between
Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge, however there are no guarantees on
the viewing opportunities. The best cruise options include the one-hour
Golden Gate Bay Cruise and the new, 90-minute Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise as
per the sailing times listed above. <br />
<br />
Boarding of the cruises
occurs on a first-come, first-serve basis, so passengers will want to
arrive at least 30 minutes early. In addition to taking in all the
action of the races, these cruises offer spectacular views of the Golden
Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and downtown skyline. <br />

<br /> <br />
Hyatt today announced details of its new organic and
seasonal children’s menu created exclusively for Hyatt by renowned food
pioneer and chef, Alice Waters. The new menu, featuring a three-course
organic meal, marks the first hotel project for Waters and complements
Hyatt’s groundbreaking “For Kids By Kids” menu, providing children more
nutritious, fresh and interactive offerings. The new children’s food and
beverage offerings at Hyatt are grounded in the brand’s
industry-leading philosophy Food. Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully
Served., promoting healthy people, a healthy planet and healthy
communities, and will be offered in all full-service Hyatt hotels and
resorts throughout the U.S. and the Caribbean. <br />
<br />
Waters,
known for her culinary philosophy that maintains cooking should be based
on fresh, organic, and seasonal ingredients that are produced
sustainably and locally, worked with Hyatt to develop a full organic
meal offering including a salad, chicken entrée and a dessert. <br />
<br />
<br />
“All
children deserve to eat real food,” said Alice Waters. “I wanted to do a
small, three course meal, within the context of Hyatt’s initiative,
that could be sourced exclusively from organic farms across the country.
Of course it’s about taste and ripeness and seasonality—but it’s bigger
than that, too: it’s about supporting the people who are taking care of
the land for our future generations.” <br />
<br />
<br />
“As Alice Waters
is a pioneer, we feel this aligns perfectly with Hyatt’s commitment to
being a leader in our industry as it relates to the health of our
youngest guests,” said Susan Santiago, vice president, food and
beverage, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, North America. “We’ve done
extensive research and it shows that kids have a more sophisticated
palate than ever, and so working with Alice is a natural fit.” <br />
<br />
<br />
Alice Waters’ menu at Hyatt features: <br />
<br />
*
Romaine Lettuce Hearts, Carrot Curls and a Radish Rose with Lemon
Vinaigrette for Dipping. “Contrary to prevailing beliefs, getting kids
to eat vegetables is not difficult. We simply have to meet their most
basic impulses: to eat something that is engaging and that tastes
delicious,” said Waters. “The aliveness of textures and colors, as well
as the ‘do-it-yourself’ nature of this salad, makes this universally
appealing to kids.”<br />
<br />
* Grilled Chicken with Pesto Sauce, Roasted
Potatoes and Cherry Tomatoes. “This is a dish of simple grilled and
roasted ingredients, served with a pesto sauce. The trick with something
so straightforward is to be confident that the ingredients are the best
that they can be.” <br />
<br />
* Strawberry and Orange Slices served with a
Sweet Juice in a Real Orange Cup. “The goal here is to appeal to kids’
imagination about ‘dessert,’ without feeding them unhealthy, sugary
food,” said Waters. “A real orange cup filled with a luxurious amount of
perfectly sliced ripe fruit feels special, and the juice is made with a
touch of honey to sweeten it.” <br />
<br />
<br />
To add another layer of
fun to mealtime, Hyatt will launch a Flavor Journey online experience in
September where kids and parents can learn more about organic foods,
the “For Kids By Kids” menu and enjoy games and activities. Guests can
use a QR code on the “For Kids By Kids” menu to link to the site. <br />
