WENDY’S® CASTING CALL: Italian Sandwich Lovers Looking to Transport their Tastebuds to Tuscany

April 21, 2014

To celebrate Wendy’s new Tuscan Chicken on Ciabatta, the producers of this Italian-inspired sandwich are seeking bold new talent to be featured in the short film “L’Estrella de la Toscana” – Star of Tuscany – starring the Tuscan Chicken on Ciabatta alongside an A-list cast of premium ingredients:

• A warm, soft, toasted artisan ciabatta bun
• A homestyle chicken filet that’s tender and juicy on the inside, and crisp and flaky on the outside
• A garlic and roasted tomato aioli sauce with real chunks of chopped tomatoes, giving the sauce a rich flavor
• Fresh spring mix with nine different greens
• Natural Asiago cheese
• Freshly sliced red, ripe tomatoes

Try Wendy’s new Tuscan Chicken on Ciabatta and submit a caption based on scenes from the film, which will be released on April 22, on Wendy’s Facebook (www.facebook.com/Wendys) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/Wendys) pages. The funniest, most gusto-filled captions will be strung together to subtitle the Italian-dialogue video, which will debut on Wendy’s social channels in early May.

Sneak preview of the short film available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MO0QXgEUMM

Aspiring fans with $4.69* in their wallets are encouraged to visit a participating Wendy’s restaurant for a limited time to get involved.
