National scavenger hunt across iconic culinary destinations turns restaurant galley surprise into reality

CookUnity, the 100% chef-led meal delivery platform, is calling on Americans to say “yes, chef” and join the hunt for its latest campaign: the ‘Tomato Can Cash Drop,’ a nationwide scavenger hunt hiding thousands of dollars in cash and prizes inside tomato cans across major U.S. cities.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250618973577/en/

From Friday, June 20^thto Tuesday, June 24^th participants can head to CookUnity’s Instagram (@cookunity) for daily drops and clues in culinary hotspots across the country, including;

Chicago, IL: @chicagocollectors
New York, NY: @findthecashny
Austin, TX: @findthecashatx

Each tomato can contains $500 USD in cash and $500 in CookUnity meal credits, so lucky winners can enjoy meals crafted by elite chefs, like the chefs we love binge-watching on TV. CookUnity knows a thing or two about award-winning chefs, with the brand’s meals crafted from some of the world’s most critically acclaimed masters, including James Beard Award Winner Jose Garces, Iron Chef Cat Cora, James Beard Award Winner Rick Bayless, and more.

“CookUnity’s mission is to connect real people with the talents, passions, and nourishing food of the very best chefs,” said Cam Ferrin, VP of Brand Marketing at CookUnity. “Our culture is obsessed with chefs and inspiring food, but the way we eat every day is far from that ideal. ‘Tomato Can Cash Drop’ is our way of celebrating pop culture’s love for chefs, while also trying to close that gap and redefine our standards for daily eating, by bringing the expertise of chefs off our TV screens and onto our tables, every day.”
