That's Nacho Contract
For 13 years, Chicago's Azteca Foods reigned as the Chicago White Sox's official nacho supplier -- until it was dethroned recently by Mexican-owned Mission Foods. Azteca's Art Velasquez knows that's the way the corn chip crumbles -- business isn't for the sentimental -- yet he can't help but feel a big loss.
Velasquez's family on his dad's side is rife with Sox fans. They've been watching the South Siders play live for more than a half-century, and they've had season tickets for at least 35 years.
Now that Azteca's once ubiquitous nacho carts will be gone from U.S. Cellular Field next season, Velasquez isn't sure he can go back. "I don't want to go around the park and see Mission Foods all around," he said. "It will be like a stab in the heart."

sad day
these dudes poured on the jalapenos. which kept me warm on frosty Chicago nights. Maybe we’ll get better cheese at least?
Whatever happened to "omerta"? Too much crying like a woman.
Mexicans need to learn from we Italians. Shut up. You want a stab in the heart??? I’ll give you a stab in the heart!!!

That's me, OSFIB.
Repetitive, stupid, little, ethnic. A joke. Not funny.
My grandfather would be proud.

Wish we'd ditch the Pepsi contract and bring back Coke.

If the woman is offering an opinion, you are doing it wrong. - HSA
now i'm going to have to disagree with you there. miller beats budweiser.
though that’s like crowning your beer ’09 AL Central champ.

it pains me that anyone's hypothetical new beer for sale would be a bud or miller product
they’re good for commercials and last resorts only!
yeah, but "duvel" doesn't have the same ring to it when being shouted by a raggedy-voiced beer vendor
