    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 17, 2016 CONTACT: Jill Cacic VP, Public Relations & Communications O: 512.238.2206 | C: 512.750.7185 | [email protected] Round Rock Express Named MiLB.com Food Fight Champions Unique Lava Rock Fire and Ice Package Takes Top Honors ROUND ROCK, Texas – The food fight is over and the Round Rock Express have come out on top! MiLB.com announced today that the Express were named champions of their semi-annual Food Fight competition, pitting the top 71 food dishes in Minor League Baseball stadiums against one another. Fans voted on their favorite dish in a random match-up over the course of four weeks. The winning dish was the Lava Rock Fire and Ice Package, a brand-new premium suite item created by Ryan Sanders Sports Services (RS3), the food, beverage and hospitality arm of Ryan Sanders Baseball. It features Nolan Ryan Beef tenderloin, Texas gulf shrimp, asparagus, and shiitake mushrooms delivered on an ice-cold frozen marble slab to ensure the cuts of meat maintain the perfect temperature and freshness prior to grilling. They are then grilled á la minute on a volcanic rock sourced from the Sicilian quarries from volcanic Mt. Etna. The tenderloin and shrimp are served on a roasted garlic crostini along with a choice of truffle mayo, horseradish crème, lemon aioli or kale presto. Guests have the benefit of seeing the signature quality of the filets in advance and selecting their own choice cut of meat off the marble. They then watch it sizzle on the volcanic rock directly in front of them, creating a memorable and unique experience.
