LATHAM — Cardona’s Market, which has a location in Saratoga Springs, recently unveiled its newest celebrity sandwich, the “G-Mac,” named for Siena Men’s Basketball Head Coach Gerry McNamara. McNamara took the ceremonial first bite at Cardona’s Latham location prior to the Albany Cup on November 16.
The G-Mac sandwich is a chicken cutlet tossed in Cardona’s tomato basil cream sauce, topped with field greens, sliced tomato, red onion, banana peppers, provolone, olive oil, and balsamic glaze, served on a toasted roll. Partial proceeds from all sales of the sandwich during the Siena men’s and women’s college basketball season will be donated to the Capital Region Boys and Girls Club.
“I’m flattered to receive such an appetizing welcome to the Capital Region,” McNamara said in a news release. “It’s an honor to be the namesake of this delicious sandwich, and I would like to thank Cardona’s for their recognition and support of both Siena Basketball and the Capital Region Boys and Girls Club.”
The G-Mac sandwich is available at all three Cardona’s Market locations: 340 Delaware Avenue in Albany; 9 Cobbee Road in Latham; and 222 Washington Street in Saratoga Springs.
