M'tucci's & New Mexico United

/

M’tucci’s and New Mexico United are working together to provide healthy balanced meals for their players two days a week. Our Chefs put their heads together to create lunches that would provide protein and carbs while observing dietary restrictions for some of the players.

Since you can’t eat pasta every day (although Italians might disagree), our Chefs show their skill and versatility by making some lunches with a Chinese or Mexican theme. One of the players favorite meals is Orange Chicken with Fried Rice.

“Just because we are an Italian restaurant doesn’t mean our Chefs can’t cook other styles,” said M’tucci’s Catering Manager Taña Martinez, who is in charge of delivering and planning the meals with M’tucci’s Chefs and NM United’s Director of Operations James Salazar.

“It is probably the most synergistic partnership possible for us. M’tucci’s was founded on bringing communities together and uniting them. Our vehicle for that is food and beverage. NM United shares the same vision, they just use a different vehicle. When Ron Patel (NM United Chief Business Officer) approached us before the inaugural season, it was unanimous amongst M’tucci’s Partners to form this partnership. It doesn’t hurt that we all love sports/competition and the majority of us played soccer. M’tucci’s is all about family and after 4 years, this partnership truly feels like an extension of our family now. Somos Unidos!”, said M’tucci’s President John Haas.

Clint Gray, NM United’s Director of Partnerships said, “I’m always trying to find new businesses to partner with and we have an emphasis on NM-based business. We believe in supporting local. The guys really love M’tucci’s food and look forward to every Tuesday and Thursday.”

M’tucci’s Pairing Dinners

If you were not able to attend one of the Special Pairing Dinners this week, you missed some great food and beverage pairings from local producers. More importantly, guests were seated family-style and made new friends at each dinner.

The first night was a sneak peek of the Roman cuisine that will be on the menu at M’tucci’s Bar Roma (opening soon). They five courses were paired with beers from La Cumbre Brewing. Night number two was food from Italy’s Piedmont region paired with cocktails made with Hollow Spirits Distillery spirits. Night number three paired dishes from Tuscany with wines from Sheehans Winery.

All of the dinners featured the Chefs and beverage makers introducing each course and the inspiration for the pairings.

Special dinners will become a regular monthly event at each of our restaurants. Details will be announced in La Gazzetta.
