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) -
