TurboChef Increases Revenue Estimate for Second Half of
2004 and Announces Attendance at Two Investor
Conferences

ATLANTA, September 9, 2004 --  TurboChef Technologies, Inc. (TRBO.OB) today announced an increase in its estimate of revenues for the second half of 2004.

The Company believes that in light of the order flow in the third quarter to date, the order flow anticipated for the balance of 2004 from Subway and other customers and its current assessment of its sales effort and general business conditions, its revenue for the second half of 2004 will likely be greater than the Company previously announced.  Accordingly, the Company is comfortable with increasing its previous revenue estimate for the second half of 2004 from in excess of $40 million to in excess of $50 million.

TurboChef also announced that Richard Perlman, Chairman, and Jim Price, CEO, will represent the Company at two investor conferences to be held the week of September 13, 2004. Messrs. Perlman and Price will be speaking at the Roth Capital Partners New York Conference on September 13, 2004 and the 2004 Edgewater Research Fall Conference on September 14, 2004. The presentation at the Roth Conference will be webcast and, once the presentation begins, will be available at http://wsw.com/webcast/roth4/trbo.ob/. The webcast presentation will remain available for sixty days and may be accessed through the Company’s website.
