Asada Fest Recognized the Best - "Los Meros
Meros" Carniceros and Top Taqueros
LOS
ANGELES, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On
Saturday, July 13, over 1,500 hungry
Los Angelenos gathered at one of the largest "asadas" in the Arts
District of Los Angeles. It marked
the debut of the "Asada Fest," presented by Northgate González
Market—a food festival like no other in town where attendees
savored mesquite-grilled tacos from LA's top taqueros and renowned
Mexican chefs.
"What an incredible day! At Northgate González Market, we know
the "asada" is a cherished tradition that brings families and
friends together while enjoying good Mexican food, drinks, and
camaraderie," said Northgate Market's Co-CEO, Oscar González. "The inaugural Asada Fest
elevated this idea and family gathering to a whole new level."
Central to any good "asada" are quality cuts of meat, a
principle Northgate Market understands well. They recently launched
"Los Meros Meros," a promotional campaign honoring their skilled
butchers ("carniceros") who contribute significantly to the success
of the premier Mexican supermarket chain.
This companywide initiative sought out and recognized
outstanding butchers who embody Northgate Market's values of
dedication, hard work, teamwork, and excellent customer service.
Winners received prizes such as four Disneyland tickets, a
$500 spending voucher, and a new
Weber grill, nominated by store managers for their exceptional
contributions.
"Our 'carniceros' at Northgate González Market are not only
masters of 'la carne asada' but also ambassadors of a rich culinary
tradition," emphasized Marco González, owner and vice
president. "Being recognized as 'los mero mero' in our meat
department is a badge of honor earned through professionalism,
dedication, customer care and deep community commitment."
The Asada Fest also paid homage to the 40-year legacy of "Los
Meros Meros de la Carne Asada" with
a culinary showcase featuring renowned chefs such as Javier Plascencia from Baja, Claudette
Zepeda of Top Chef fame from San
Diego, and social media sensation RobeGrill "Que Chille"
from Hermosillo, Sonora.
Additionally, guests enjoyed dishes crafted by culinary artists
like Yesenia Rios from Tijuana and Daniel
Castillo of Heritage Barbecue in San Juan Capistrano.
This gastronomic experience, curated in collaboration with noted
food writer Paola Briseño Gonzalez, highlighted L.A.'s top taqueros
including award-winners Tacos La Carreta and emerging stars like
Mochomitos from Whittier and Tacos
La Rueda from East Los
Angeles.
In between bites, live music from Mi
Banda El Mexicano de Casimiro singing their iconic original
songs like "La Bota" and "Baile de Caballito," electrifying lucha
libre matches, and photo opportunities with the legendary luchador
Hijo del Santo.
