Grey Poupon(R) to Sponsor World Sandwich Championship Competition at World Food Championships
25 Septiembre 2012 - 10:26AM
The World Food Championships (WFC) announced today that Grey
Poupon® Dijon Mustard will be the title sponsor for the World
Sandwich Championship competition that will take place on Saturday,
Nov. 3, 2012 at Bally's Las Vegas. The World Food Championships
will bring culinary champions from all walks of life into one arena
so that they can square off for food supremacy and a prize purse of
$300,000. Using a hybrid of sanctioned, celebrity and customized
judging processes, The World Food Championships will identify
winners in seven key categories of divisional cooking competitions,
culminating in a Final Table face-off with celebrity food experts,
including Adam Richman, star of the Travel Channel's "Adam
Richman's Best Sandwich in America" and "Man v. Food: Nation,"
presiding as the chief judge. "The WFC is excited to announce the
addition of Grey Poupon as one of our primary sponsors," commented
Richman. "We are thrilled that they will be part of our World
Sandwich Competition and help us deliver a world-class food
experience for both consumers and competitors."
"Grey Poupon is very excited to be the sponsor for the inaugural
Sandwich Championship. Our Dijon mustard is a culinary-centric
ingredient that serves as the perfect complement to a
culinary-centric competition; we believe this is a great fit," said
Rebecca Daugherty, Business Manager Enhancers at Kraft Foodservice.
"There is genuine artistry involved in crafting a delicious
sandwich. The sandwich category provides the perfect platform for
Grey Poupon to shine in the hands of sandwich artists. We expect to
see and taste several championship caliber sandwiches!" The 2012
WFC categories will feature classic American cuisine: barbecue,
chili, burgers, sandwiches, side dishes, a Champions Challenge
featuring winners of online recipe contests, and a World Chef
Challenge open to some of the best chefs from America's greatest
food cities. Although Grey Poupon will not be required during the
initial sandwich phase, it will be featured in the secondary and
final judging process as the WFC crowns the sandwich king or queen.
"Grey Poupon is an iconic brand in the culinary world and we're
excited to have it associated with our event," said Mike McCloud,
president of Trybe Targeting, the company that is producing the
four-day event. "As the title sponsor for the World Sandwich
Championship, Grey Poupon will be awarding $25,000 in total prize
money and helping us celebrate sandwich artisans in a very unique
way." For more information about events, opportunities or
