The biggest event of the year means big appetites.
So what are people going to be eating at the Super Bowl in Minneapolis? We checked out Aramark's U.S. Bank Stadium menu preview on Wednesday to take a look at — and more than a few bites of — the meatiest, cheesiest, over-the-top concoctions that football fans will be digging into while cheering on the game's best (sorry, Vikings fans).
We're talking wild waffle ice cream creations, buckets of jalapeño cheese curds and themed sandwiches celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots — grub so good you'll want to call for an instant replay.
Here are 10 of the best concourse noshes, including a few that are new to the stadium:
New England Clam Roll
In an ode to Boston's saltwater roots, this Kettle Chip-crusted clam roll is smothered with tartar sauce and shredded lettuce — but make sure you gobble it up fast, it has the tendency to deflate. (New item)
Find it: House Divided stand, Section 118
South Philly Roast Pork Sandwich
This isn't your typical Philly cheese — in fact, the cheese is perky provolone rather than a melty, saucy blanket, but this underdog has plenty of bite, just like the backup-QB-boasting Eagles, as the boys in purple well know. (New item)
