EL Popular Longaniza - Chosen as the CONCACAF Gold Cup Soccer Tournament
Preferred Sausage vendor at Chicago's Soldier Field!
June 07, 2011 /Sports PR News/ -- The Chicago based company El Popular Chorizo was chosen as this year's Gold Cup Soccer sausage vendor at Soldier's Field. On Sunday, June 12, 2011 the CONCACAF Gold Cup Group-A doubleheader will begin at 5pm with El Salvador vs. Cuba, and at 7pm Mexico vs. Costa Rica. With a seating capacity of over 60,000 soccer enthusiast, this is sure to be a sold out event! During the double header, the El Popular Longaniza will be sold at the historic Chicago Soldier Field food concession stand.
Starting with the Gold Cup Soccer match, and continuing into the Bears season, Soldier Field will be doing something they seldom do, offering a brand-new food item. It's a Hispanic-style sausage called "Longaniza." The El Popular Longaniza is a unique Mexican sausage that can be grilled, and served on a bun and enjoyed with any condiment including salsa, jalape?os, or even traditional toppings such as mustard, ketchup, and onion.
El Popular has been recognized by the governor of the State of Indiana as the "Oldest Mexican Owned Food Manufacturer" in the Midwest. For over eight decades, El Popular has continued to produce the #1 best selling Mexican Chorizo and Longaniza sausage. "We have worked hard to provide quality products as well as create jobs in the Midwest for over 84 years," said 3rd generation owner and CEO, Edward Garza.
Vicente F. Garza founded the El Popular brand Mexican food products in 1927. He was drawn to the Chicago area by the promise of a better life and opportunities for his family. "When my grandfather first arrived in Chicago, he quickly realized that he could help meet the need to satisfy the cultural palate in a growing migrating Mexican community," said Edward Garza. What started as a dream to supply the Chicago community with authentic products and traditions from Mexico has resulted in over 84 years of success.
"El Popular Chorizo and Longaniza sausage is distinct from any other sausage on the market. We only use U.S.D.A. inspected quality lean pork. Our blend of natural chili and red peppers combined with the Garza family's secret blend of spices which delivers a distinct and authentic Mexican tradition in every bite," said marketing manager Laura P. Lopez.
El Popular has become an innovator and leader in the Mexican food industry, and has become one of the top selling Chorizo and Longaniza sausage manufacturers in the United States. It is now available through Sysco Food Service Company.
