Here is some of the food that is prepared for the fans!<\/p>\n

\"\"
Stealing Home Colossal Pretzel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This massive pretzel is sure to steal home and so big it might feed your team of four or more. With a hefty amount of taco beef, pork carnitas and chicken tinga for the base and three more tasting toppings (jalapeno jack cheese sauce, roasted poblano crema, pico de gallo) it is sure to be a crowd please and a win for team Levy and Alec Woockman.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The Big Kahuna Burger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This big boss of a burger is made with an Omaha Steak burger and is topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, crisp shreds of lettuce, and tomato. It also has pineapple chutney, teriyaki aioli delivering big flavor of the Pacific.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Walk-Off Burger(Left) and Mediterranean Loaded Bratwurst (Right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This walk-off burger was my favorite. A hefty Omaha Steaks burger with a surprise. Instead of a bun, there are two slices of french toast!\u00a0 No need to add ketchup or mustard, It’s perfectly balanced by the maple-bourbon bacon jam and cranberry compote. Definitely a walk-off for a burger. It’s also so hearty that you may also want to … walk it off.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Grilled Chicken Shawarma Gyro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Grilled chicken nestled in a warm naan, covered with crisp shreds of lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Add feta cheese and tzatziki sauce and you have another of the ethnic inspired dishes for this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Ancho Chicken Quesadilla<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This was another surprise for me. While I enjoy quesadillas, a lot of them taste the same from place to place. Not this one! It’s the wonderful cheddar-jack cheese blend and chipotle ranch dipping sauce that give this a special depth of flavor that goes so well with the ancho chicken.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Fire Roasted Black Bean & Corn Salsa with House Fried Chips<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This was another surprise winner for me. It had an unexpected depth of flavor that with a complexity worthy of an entree.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Footlong Frank and Bean Dog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Franks and beans-always a good idea but you’ve not had them like this before! This footlong hot dog is all beef and weighs in at half a pound. It is covered by crumbled bacon and campfire baked beans. Sounds great, right, but what’s different? It’s the sweet, but not too sweet, baked beans that is different. Not sure how they got so much flavor in the beans and how it’s delightfully a bit sticky, so grab some extra napkins and take this dog for a walk to your seat!<\/p>\n

\"\"
Everything Toasted Turkey\u00a0 Bagel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You guessed it from the name. It’s an everything toasted bagel with layers smoked turkey. What you haven’t guessed is that it has a hefty schmear of an amazing chive cream cheese that brings this all together with a dill pickle, lettuce, tomato, and red onions transporting it from breakfast to lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Summertime Fresh Mozzarella Tomato, and Cucumber Salad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one was light and refreshing. The balls of mozzerella were light and fresh. The cucumbers and tomatoes were good sized and very fresh also. The dressing was alsp light and tied the ingredients together well.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Dinger Dog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amazing cremas on this one make it a dinger. We have a herbaceous and satifying guacamole crema and a delightful poblano crema (my favorite new condiment this year). Next up are bacon crumbles and red onions to make this extra tasty and give some crunch. Now we must not forget the star of the bun-an Omaha Steaks all-beef hot dog!<\/p>\n

\"\"
Crispy Chicken Club<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This was another surprise for me. You are thinking tasty, right, but we’ve eaten these before. Not so! This is the best crispy chicken club I have ever had. The breading was perfectly done giving food credit where food credit should be done-to the chicken! The chicken was delicious and complemented by with a dilly-ranch aioli. Add crispy thinly sliced bacon, cheddar cheese,lettuce and tomatoes for the perfect chicken club. This one is the standard to judge the others and if it were a contestant in the Chicken Sandwich Wars, it would win.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Triple Play Pork Sandwich<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The triple for this tasty sandwich is pork cutlet, pulled pork and bacon-bacon jam that is sure to win. Add a grainy mustard and let the flavors play across your home plate, I mean palate.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Moon-Shot Friesa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one was my friend’s favorite. For him, it was the creamy jack cheese sauce that put this shot of crinkle-cut fries over the moon. Add the sausage, jalapenos and of course some bacon jam and your aiming at the stars, for sure.<\/p>\n
