Bird Bowl and Latin Touch Catering do Super Bowl Sunday

Miami, FL, February 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The lanes began to fill early Sunday afternoon and stayed that way throughout the big game, with over 100 reservations coming within an hour of kickoff. To go along with these bowling, patrons were greeted with a delicious whole pig roast prepared in a La Caja Asadora Caja China style Roasting Box by Latin Touch Catering. Samples of “pan con lechon” were brought to the lanes for all to enjoy, with full plates being served once the game was underway. The event was a follow-up to the sold-out New Year’s Eve bash held just over a month prior.

About the event, Latin Touch President Mat Masters said, “This is why I love what I do. To be able to put smiles on hundreds of faces while enjoying great company and a great game, that’s what it’s all about. Jerry (Bird Bowl GM Jerry Mugar) has a great thing going here. To see this place packed every time we sponsor an event is a testament to the job he’s doing here.”

Masters personally worked the event, bringing the pig out to be displayed before beginning the carving into delicious bite-sized samples of pan con lechon that were delivered to the patrons as they bowled. Located in Westchester, which has one of the country’s most densely Cuban populations, the caja china concept is not unfamiliar to many of those who were in attendance.

The caja china style whole pig roast is a staple of many Hispanic and Caribbean peoples, and has been a big part of Miami’s unique culture for generations. Maria Lopez explained it this way, “Ever since I was a little girl we did a pork roast for Christmas Eve and New Years, so to see one here really brought me back to that and all the great memories I have. And the pork was absolutely delicious.”
