A universal truth: Where there’s food, there’s Garfield. So it is fitting that he and his pals will pay a visit to the hit Facebook game Gourmet Ranch - and just in time for a Thanksgiving Day feast.
Beginning November 21st, Garfield, the well-fed orange tabby, and his pals, Odie, the dim-witted dog, Nermal, the annoyingly cute kitten, and Pooky, Garfield’s trusted teddy bear, will be hanging out at the Ranch for a two week stay (or until the food runs out!). In Gourmet Ranch, installed over 15 million times on Facebook, players cook delicious gourmet dishes in their very own café with a farm to table approach: Using home grown organic crops and animals to either serve hungry diners or trade for cash with friends.
Players will be able to grow a multitude of Garfield-themed ingredients such as Garfield Turkey, Odie Cow, Jon Cinnamon and Pooky Chicken which will go into recipes including Maple Glazed Pumpkin Pie and a Garfield favourite — Thanksgiving Lasagna! Garfield, Odie, Nermal and Pooky décor will also be available and if players complete the Thanksgiving quest they will win a Garfield trophy.
Jim Davis, creator of Garfield said: “Garfield and Gourmet Ranch are a match made in culinary heaven. There’s surely nowhere better for Garfield to enjoy, or should I say “pig out”, on a Thanksgiving Day meal that includes delicious gourmet dishes. I’m a bit concerned though. They may never get him to leave!”
Garfield himself said: “Stand back, Gourmet Ranch! I’m coming for Thanksgiving, and I plan to eat every turkey, pumpkin and cranberry you put in front of me.”
Playdemic’s CEO Paul Gouge added: "We know that lots of our players are Garfield fans and we think it’s a real coup to get everyone’s favourite fat cat to visit Gourmet Ranch. We just hope he doesn’t eat us out of house and home!”
