On this Design Patent Tuesday, we celebrate National Fajita Day (August 18) to recognize the sizzling deliciousness of the savory Tex-Mex flavor found in fajitas. We are highlighting Design Patent No. 864,665 for a Tiered Fajita Server issued to Breanne and Brian Stuart on October 29, 2019.

In the early 1930s, Mexican vaqueros in Southwest Texas developed the fajita, using throwaway cuts of beef. They cooked the steak over an open fire or grill. Once cooked, they served it with flour or corn tortillas. In later years, fresh Pico de gallo, guacamole, and southwestern spices elevated the fajita.

As their popularity grew, fajitas added a colorful flair to Tex-Mex menus. Sizzling platters full of bright peppers, onions, and a mouthwatering aroma attracted customers. Menu choices beyond tender steak also broadened the fajita spectrum. Sweet shrimp, lean chicken, or pork with freshly made tortillas were also added. By the 1980s, most Mexican restaurants in the United States served fajitas.

Last Friday, we were honored to volunteer at Harvest, A Farm to Community Center by RWJ Barnabas in Newark, NJ. Jamaal Cobbs, our IT Manager, led the group of volunteers from the office (including our summer associates). They worked on filling boxes of locally grown food to give to those in need in the surrounding communities. Harvest partners with local and neighboring farms to offer healthy foods for the community, as well as resources regarding cooking and nutrition to learn how to live a healthy lifestyle.
