Omaha Media Event: College World Series Food Tasting 2022-Images and Description, 15 June
Here are some of our photographs and descriptions of the CWS food sampled at the College World Series Food Tasting 2022 at Charles Schwab Field Omaha:
The Slugger: One pound of Italian beef on not just any size bread but a whole entire loaf of Italian bread. It’s huge and should feed three hungry (maybe four) fans and it’s so big it even gets its own carrying case!
Shrimp Po Boy: No thing po here in flavor. This was a surprise new favorite for me. In general, I am not a fan of fried shrimp but these perfectly gold and perfectly breaded shrimp were only perfected by the Cajun-style remoulade sauce giving it just the right tang and spice to complement the breading and large shrimp.
O Dog: Omaha Steaks hot dog nestled in queso and jalapeno jam with a heavy sprinkled with caramelized onions and grilled steak.
Jalapeno Popper Dog: This is another new favorite for me. One Omaha Steaks hot dog nestled in cream cheese and housemade jalapeño jam with a heavy sprinkle of tasty spicy French-fried jalapeños flakes and bacon bits.
Fried Sweet Chili Ribs: This was my number one favorite. A sweet BBQ sauce glazes the crisp outside of the meaty ribs but tender on the inside succulent ribs in a bed of sweet Asian coleslaw. This was a winner with many others at the tasting. Warning-Don’t eat this fast and miss its tender savory goodness.
Cauliflower and Tots: Large breaded tender chunks of cauliflower are drizzled with two types of sauces. The curry mayonaise and spicey sirachi sauce gently imparts some zing and heat to the delicately breaded veggie.
Chicken N Waffle Fries: This was a surprise favorite coming at number two for me. It was only surpassed by the Fried Sweet Chili Ribs. Wonderfully breaded and seasoned chicken bites in a bed of seasoned waffle fries are brought together with not just a love for cooking but an amazing spicy maple aioli.
Chicken Parm: Breaded chicken, creamy cheese and a testy marinara will make you think you are having dinner instead of a sandwich.
Chicken in a Pickle: What’s better than a pickle-more pickles! What’s better than more pickles? Chicken in a pickel! Breaded chicken is surround by two kinds of pickles and topped with a bread and butter pickle ailio.
Bratter Up Burger: Step up to home- a home of an Omaha Steaks beef patty, sliced “bat” worst- I mean-bratwurst, Cheddar cheese, a sprinkle of caramelized onions, whole-grain mustard aioli.
