One lucky winner of the “Miller in the Marinade” contest went home with a package valued at over $5,000 on Memorial Day. The contest was sponsored by Pacific Trading Co., the official distributor of Miller and Pepsi products.
The participants were randomly selected from thousands of entries received during a three-month “Miller in the Marinade” promotion.
The five contestants arrived bright and early to battle it out at a barbeque contest on the beach this past Memorial Day. Each contestant prepared their special marinade for both chicken and ribs and every marinade contained Miller or MGD in the recipe. Each participant grilled their own chicken and ribs and served them to a panel of judges.
The participants were Roman B. Castro, Dewayne Johnson, Matt Fejeran, Zenaida L. Santos, and Chuji P. Rios. The competition was tough and few points separated the winner—Matt Fejeran—from the rest of the participants. When asked about the ingredients in his winning marinade Matt said, “It’s a secret, but it was the Miller Lite that made the difference.”
Fejeran took home the Monster Grill, a barbeque grill so large he had to tow it home with a truck! The grand prize package also included a summer supply of Miller Beer and Pepsi, a Miller outdoor furniture set consisting of a table, umbrella and chairs, a Pepsi outdoor canopy, Pepsi portable folding chairs, a summer supply of chicken and ribs, and assorted Miller gear.
Hundreds of people flocked to the beachside near AJ’s to watch the competition. As a special Memorial Day treat, Miller, Pepsi and Triple J Wholesale provided a free barbecue feast for the public. An ample supply of barbecue, side items and beverages were laid out for all the onlookers.
Special thanks was given to Power 99 who showed up to emcee the competition and UR Tents for providing tents and tables for this event. (PR)
