— The group of people that led Jack Swagger to the ring at last night’s WWE
SummerSlam pay-per-view were the US Army’s 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment Color
Guard. They are based out of Irwin, California.
— FirstWeFeast.com has a new article
up with Jen Hagopian. She works for Dega Catering from
Knoxville, TN and has been working for WWE for the last eight years as Catering
Crew Chief. When asked what was the most popular thing WWE Superstars like to
eat, she said:
“Well, they tend to gravitate towards the plain grilled chicken
dishes—things without sauces and gravies, so a lot of ‘em are obviously watching
their health and watching calories. We do a lot of the grilled chicken as a
plain chicken. We’ll have another [option] so people who aren’t necessarily
counting calories can just have a wonderfully flavored dish. [For] some of the
bells and whistles that people request a lot, Cholula Hot Sauce seems to be one
of the items. The cookies are a staple with us. We need to have cookies out
every day or there’s probably 40, 50 requests for ‘em if we don’t have the
cookies out. There’s always an oatmeal dish: There’s either a big container of
oatmeal that’s fresh in the morning that we leave up until around lunchtime, and
then we try to refresh that, or at least we’ll have the oatmeal packets so that
they can put ‘em in their pockets and take ‘em to their buses or hotels. Rice is
also a staple. We always have the salad bar out. Every day, we put out a special
salad, which is usually what I go for for my meal. One of my favorite ones,
which is also a very popular dish, is the watermelon, feta, mint, and balsamic
vinaigrette salad, so it’s really a good refreshing summer salad. Another
popular one is arugula with shaved Parmesan and grilled figs.”
