  Largest Serving of Salsa - Pollo Tropical sets world record

 MIAMI, Fla., USA -- The Pollo Tropical cooks prepared a fresh salsa weighing in at 1,170 pounds and setting the world record for the Largest Serving of Salsa.

Using a giant stainless steel bowl that's seven feet in diameter and five feet deep, Pollo Tropical created the Largest Serving of Salsa - chopping 1,336 big juicy tomatoes and 138 ounces of cilantro, mixing in 621 pounds of picante and 35 gallons of spring water.

   In the shadow of Sun Life Stadium, more than 20 cooks and prep crew chopped, diced, and blended nearly 1,200 pounds of fresh salsa.

   “We already knew our fresh homemade salsa is award worthy,” said Kim Miller, Senior Director of Marketing in a press release. “Now the rest of the world can taste why we’re so proud of our signature, made fresh every day, line of salsas.”

   While the Largest Serving of Salsa making took place, Pollo Tropical provided fun and games for the whole family. Raffles were conducted to give away Pollo Tropical BBQ sets, coolers, the famous Pollo Tropical hot sauce, and Free Chicken For A Year. Boca Raton resident Sharon Buhr was the lucky winner of the Free Chicken For A Year prize.

    A salsa dancing contest also spiced up the event, which was touted as Miami's most flavorful free tailgate party. Winners Monica Gonzalez and Rodrigo Martinez from New Image Salsa proudly took home the $1,000 grand prize package.

   
The Largest Serving of Salsa category was created by the Guinness Book of World Records with a minimum requirement of 200 kilograms (440 pounds, 14 ounces.)    

    Pollo Tropical was inspired to create this largest-ever serving of salsa to spotlight its unique, made-from-scratch salsas including the classic, caliente, guava barbecue, cilantro, mustard curry, mojo and more - as each has its own flavorful way of dancing with your tastebuds over fresh grilled chicken, ribs, wings or Pollo Tropical's signature TropiChop(r) dishes (a variety of rice bowls with freshly chopped flame-grilled chicken, pork or other made-fresh menu items). 

   All of the salsa bowl fun & festivities were also for a great cause - Pollo Tropical pledged a meal to the Boys & Girls Clubs After School Program for every person that participated in the event, reaching a grand total of 800 donated meals.
