Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Pick 'n Save & Metro Market

Look at this spread here, Donovan. We are in for a treat. Yes, authentic Latin flavors found at your local grocery store. Our good friend Lucy Gutierrez is here from pick and save in Metro Market to plan and help us kick off our Hispanic Heritage Month in style. OK, I don't even know where to begin. I guess we need to start by the Elote making process that we're going to engage in today. So what can you tell us about the ingredients abroad? Let's unpack it. Yeah, so first of all, thank you for having me. I love celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. I'm a fellow Latina. That being said, I really love showcasing the Latin flavors and sharing our culture with our culture, especially since we carry these items at Metro Market and pick and save. So what we're going to make today is a street style Elote. OK, it's three easy steps and I have it all prepared for you today. The first step is you can either char your Elote or you could boil it. I opt for boiling because I like to keep the sweet flavor. And then we'll get our hands dirty now. So first you'll grab your Elote that I already boiled and already put a skew in it so it's easy to hold and then you'll grab your mayonnaise and then lather it all over the Elote. OK, I personally like a lot on it. Yeah, you really got at that pretty quick there. I got a thin spread on mine. I think yeah, I think yes, same man. I think I need to go a little harder. Really realize that you have to go to hopefully you gotta go quick because this is also something easy to make for your kids or your family or your friends and it's something that's super affordable because we sell them in a four pack on corner Cobb and also a pack at value. And then I also opt for the mayonnaise with lime in it because it adds extra flavor or you could just cut fresh lime and put it on top. There we go. Once you're done there you could sprinkle now cojita cheese. Again, we sell these already at Metro Market and pick and save. You could sprinkle it on there. Or what my favorite thing to do because I love it. I was literally put it on and rolling. It's like the kid in me wanted to roll it. OK, and then the very last step is optional, but if you like a little bit more spice you could add chili powder on top or you could have stacking. We have these in our produce department as well. Wonderful, OK, and there you go. Make these in advance too. Couldn't you also? You could probably have these or quarter these and make these with toothpicks and then make them as stack features. Yes, we also have like at Metro Market pick say we also have the mini cops so that's already pre made for you because the number one thing we love to do is making sure you save time at Metro Market. Well, and we also would save money because my son eats half of one and then we chuck the rest and then she or daddy said and you know I'm like the scraps guy. Yeah, definitely. And then everything you see here. I personally shopped it online on our pick and save it and Metro Market app. I like to save time and I also like to save money because I flipped all those digital coupons because it's savings on top of savings. But for this month, you are in with circle Tora. We have a bunch of Latin flavors. You see here will kick it off in our bakery department. We have conchas already made for you. A tres leches cake month. It got us from bimbo. They're all sweet bread. I personally like to have a concha in the morning with coffee. OK, then we also have gravity. Don't have a whole concha before. Yep, that's how I kick off my morning. That's my Kevin cake. Yeah, that's my Kevin cake. I promise personally. We need some with our alarm clock. Brian wake up. We haven't well. I invite you for some fun concafe. How about that? Some conchas and coffee and don't be surprised about the color. It's all vanilla flavor. Fantastic me. We just like putting the vibrant colors because it also adds to whether if you're inviting friends, adds color to your life and your friends. And then we also have grab and go items. Yeah, so we mentioned it earlier. We have burritos that are grab and go tamales and enchiladas. They're all $7.99. I'm into market and pick and save. I elevated it a little bit by adding some lettuce, some cojita cheese, some salsa, because why not? And we have chicken, pork, beef and all variations flavors. And then also we have beans. What's your favorite? My personal favorite tamales. Yeah, it's a pork mullet tamale, which is the red one you see here. OK, yeah, feel free to grab one. And you can unwrap it if you like. This is the item. Excuse me. This is the item out of all of these that I'm really interested in, because it's all right just to make them takes a lot a lot of time. And and if you mass produce them, it's easier to make them. But then the unraveling, if you will, and if you have your your fork, your spoon to kind of just dig out the inside, it's wonderful. So I'm just trying to picture in my head, where is this located in like a metro market or pick and save? Is it in the deli area? It's close to like the meats or the the chicken rotisserie by the sushi. Is that where it is? I love that you mentioned sushi. We do have a sushi department. It's actually going to be in our merchandise Casa Mercado shop. They're going to be in by our deli department. And you'll find all these grab and go items in their tray. So again, burritos, tamales and enchiladas. $7.99, as I mentioned before. And I personally love them because it's a quick and beautiful way to share our culture because they're packed with flavor. And why not share that with the world of all of our authentic flavors? And you guys also prepack your salsa and the guacamole. Yes, we do. Which is nice. And these tortilla chips look amazing, by the way. They've got like some seasoning on them, it appears. Is that a chili powder? They got you're right on the money there. It's a chili lime Casa Mercado tortilla chips. So as I mentioned earlier, our Casa Mercado line is part of our Latin flavors. So you'll find it in our tortilla chips. You'll also find it in our house made tortillas that we personally make at Pick and Save Holt. You'll be able to get some fresh hot tortillas at that location. And I do want to say, please come out and celebrate with us this Saturday, September 19th, because we're having a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration at that store, specifically from twelve to three. Which which which store is this one? Pick and Save Holt location. Pick and Save Holt. Again, twelve to three. We're going to have all the flavors you see here for you to sample. Oh, this is also local vendors from Supremo and Cacique that you also see here. And more importantly, in partnership with Greenwood Park Gallery, we're going to have an artist there, a fellow Latina. Her name is Mi Salgado. OK. And she has bold and beautiful paintings and frameworks. And she's actually a muralist that she'll be there and showcasing her art. And also selling, if you want to check it out. Well, you know what you forgot about? What'd you forget? You forgot about the mezcal and tequila. That's true. Don't worry, don't worry. It's in front of me, and it's like hitting me plain sight. Now we're talking. Let me uncover it. Now that we're all getting through all of the food here. Now we got that out of the way. Now that we got that out of the way. I like to celebrate like anybody else, but it helps when I have a little something, you know? Do you need a lime with yours when you throw the shot down the rocks? OK, so if you're in a margarita. Oh, yes. Lime with the tequila shot. There we go. OK, well, we have to mention, I guess, I'm from Jalisco. My family's from Jalisco, so we're the place of all tequila. Yes. But needless to say, Jarritos, you could take these a quick, easy mocktail or cocktail. You could top this with chamoy. Open the Jarrito. They come in different flavors. I have mango right over here. Top it with my chamoy and then you could put a little bit tequila in there. Do you like Mezcal? I do love Mezcal. Very smoky. This is impressive, guys. And again, that's 12 to 3 at the Holt location this Saturday for that celebration for, of course, the Hispanic Heritage Month. Yeah, Lucy, great spread. Love it. And you can find out more, of course, at their websites. Yes, Pick and Save and Metro Market apps. Also our website. And if you want to get any flavor recipes or creations, you get it on there as well. Here it is. OK, we appreciate that. Dig in. Come on now, guys. We're going to break while we finish our creation.
