At Joe & the Juice, we always strive to come up with something a little better than awesome ... with an edge. And we knew tuna sandwiches were popular. So how could we improve it? Well, avocados are healthy, beautiful, and pretty damn delicious. So we wanted that.
Next, we needed to perfect the tuna spread. So we tested hundreds of different tuna spread combinations with avid tuna aficionados until they declared the winner. The same Tunacado is served in our stores everywhere.
It is worth noting, that even though the Tunacado sandwich went viral in 2022, its’ popularity began upon its’ release, more than 10 years ago!
That said, we have no hesitation calling the Tunacado a true viral icon. It's been watched by millions of hungry eyeballs and recreated by thousands of inspired chefs.
