Centerplate Debuts Blue Bear Burgers BBQ Truck at SIA Snow Show

DENVER, Jan. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Most of Denver's food trucks have gone into hibernation this winter, but the Blue Bear Burgers and BBQ truck is out and about, making its debut appearance in the shadow of its 40-foot-tall inspiration, just outside the SIA Snow Show at the Colorado Convention Center. Centerplate, the largest hospitality partner to North America's premier sports stadiums, convention centers, and entertainment venues, is using an array of locally sourced ingredients for the Blue Bear Truck.

"We're thrilled to introduce the Blue Bear Truck at SIA this year," said Laurence Rua, Vice President at Centerplate. "As a former chef, I worked closely with our chef, Carmen Callo, to create a menu that attendees will love. From our Blue Bear Slider, with grass-fed beef from Castle Rock Meats and topped with caramelized onions and monterey jack cheese sauce, to our pulled-pork slider, to our garlic fries, every item has been developed with care.

"In the coming months, we'll expand the menu to locally-sourced bison and lamb sliders, chicken drumettes, and more," added Rua.

With the Colorado Convention Center's iconic big blue bear wrapped on three sides of the truck, Blue Bear Burgers and BBQ is destined to become another recognizable figure in the burgeoning Denver food truck scene. Expect to see more appearances after concerts at the Fillmore Auditorium, during meetings and conferences at the Colorado Convention Center, and around Denver this winter and spring.

This week, the Blue Bear Truck will be parked in front of the Colorado Convention Center Thursday through Saturday, from 11:30 until 9pm, serving a menu of beef, smoked pulled pork, and three-cheese sliders, garlic and seasoned fries, and Pepsi products. All menu items are priced between $3 and $4, with combinations also available.
