A new culinary ritual at Stade Saputo
MONTREAL- As of the next game this Saturday, at 1pm, at Stade Saputo, against the New England Revolution, you can indulge in a traditional North American treat that will henceforth be available at concession stands: the IMFC grilled cheeses.
Excellent tickets for this game are still available.
"We're extremely happy to launch a new food product at Stade Saputo, which we hope will quickly become a new tradition" said the director of communications at the Montreal Impact, Patrick Vallée. "We wanted a unique, affordable product, and at Stade Saputo, grilled cheeses were a must. The IMFC grilled cheeses are as of now a part of our more and more diverse menu."
"I'm proud to have been asked by the Impact to participate in this project," said chef Danny Smiles. "Not only because I'm a soccer enthusiast and a supporter of the Montreal Impact, but because I had a great time creating these grilled cheeses with the players. A grilled cheese is fun to eat during a game, it isn't expensive, and everyone likes them, so it's perfect."
You can taste all four varieties of the IMFC grilled cheeses made according to the tastes and cultures of four players:
The number 1 (of Evan Bush) -
Mozzarella cheese, pickles, mustard, in a hot-dog bread
The number 6 (of Samuel Piette) -
Gouda cheese, smoked meat and mustard in a hamburger bread
The number 33 (of Bacary Sagna) -
Triple cream brie cheese in rye bread
The number 10 (of Nacho Piatti) -
Provolone cheese and chorizo in a hot-dog bread
IMFC grilled cheeses will be available in three of Stade Saputo's concession stands, close to sections 115, 124, and 131, starting at only $2.83 (plus taxes), as well as in the suites and mezzanines.
