For
fans who could use some extra coaching in the kitchen, Victor Cruz and Eli
Manning will reunite on the field they once shared to show
people how to cook the recipes, play-by-play, ahead of game day in
a special, soon-to-be-released installment of "Stella Sessions."
"I had a blast suiting up, chef-style for the first time ever,
with Eli Manning, and breaking down
our favorite game day food plays together with Stella Artois," said
Victor Cruz. "While this year is a
bit out of the big game norm, I hope it will inspire people to
still come together safely to enjoy the best football tradition
– delicious food savored with a cold Stella."
"Victor and I have been able to cook up some great plays on the
field over the years, so it's exciting to get a chance to test
ourselves in this regard and catch up over some Stella Artois,"
said Eli Manning. "You can't go
wrong when you pair the best game in the world with a fantastic
meal and Stella Artois."
