HAMILTON, Ontario, Dec. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sodexo Live!, the hospitality partner to Tim Hortons Field (THF) and many of the world’s most iconic venues, today announced its lineup of food offerings for fans to enjoy at the 108th Grey Cup this Sunday. The home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats is slated to attract roughly 25,000 fans for what will be an exciting game amid the broader Grey Cup Festival festivities.   

 

The fan experience has been reimagined to deliver a wide variety of options emphasizing local vendors from around the region, led by Executive Chef, and local Hamiltonian, Tina Rousseau. The focus from the culinary team is on using locally sourced and sustainable ingredients.

“We’ve got a game-winning menu lineup in store for the thousands of fans who will join us this Sunday, said Executive Chef Tina Rousseau. “In fact, we have chefs and team members coming in from Vancouver, Ottawa and Toronto to support us, as we seek to showcase the very best of Canadian hospitality for Canadian football’s biggest event.”

  • Jalapeno Havarti Big Game Hot Dog: served on a stick, with pancake panko batter
  • Traditional Peameal Sandwich (a signature meal of Ontario): grilled onions and cheddar cheese on a brioche bun
