When Serious Eats decided that they wanted to provide couples in six different cities with a unique dining experience in a top local culinary hot spot, they decided to turn to Toyota in order to truly make this a completely memorable experience. For each outing, the couples were provided with a chauffeured ride in a 2016 Toyota Sienna that brought them to and from their dining destination in style. Recently, two couples (London & Justin and Sophie & Neal) were treated to a night out in Venice, California where they enjoyed an evening at LEONA. While there, they were able to interact one-on-one with Chef Nyesha Arrington while enjoying a custom menu that she had handpicked especially for this evening. All of the dishes she prepared were inspired by some of her favorite comfort foods and were made from ingredients that she had purchased at the local farmers market. Learn more about Chef Nyesha and her mission to provide customers with “a hug from the inside” in the video below.

As we know, we are our kids’ biggest role models. And while we may not realize it, they are even watching us when we are behind the wheel. Children learn driving habits much earlier than we think, as soon as the child’s car seat can turn to face front. That’s why Toyota is teaming up with Safety City, a safety education program for second and third graders that blends classroom instruction with real-world driving experiences. Toyota is donating $49,000 toward ten kid-sized electric cars which will help students get a hands-on experience and carry good driving habits over to when they do get on the road. For Toyota, supporting programs like Safety City is an obvious choice. “We believe everyone deserves to be safe, and we want to be a part of helping keep people safe, on and off the road,” said Wil James, president of Toyota’s Kentucky plant.  “That’s a priority for us, and it’s why we’re investing in programs like Safety City.” "Toyota Puts the Vroom in Safety Education Program Aimed at Putting Kids in the Driver's Seat | Corporate."
