GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Green Bay Packers fans will get some new options when it comes to eating at Lambeau Field this season.
"We kind of just throw things around, come up with ideas, do tastings in the offseason and see what works," says Heath Barbatl, Executive Chef at Delaware North Lambeau. "We always respect fan feedback so we try to appease that, but we do look into culinary trends."
Barbatl says the new concession items range from the savory to the sweet.
- The Pig Skin: Bacon wrapped baked potato with bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream, chili and chives
- The Hail Mary Brat: Foot long brat with Bloody Mary seasoning, and toppings
- Bellin Health Fresh Market: 1919 Cobb Salad, Turkey Burger, Turkey Wrap, Fruit Cup, Mixed Nuts, Sargento Balance Breaks
- Jalapeno Popper Brat: Foot long brat with jalapenos and cheese
- Poutine: Fries, cheese curds, bacon bites, sour cream and green onions
- Buffalo Chicken Fries: Fries, buffalo chicken, bleu cheese crumbles, diced celery, ranch dressing
- Loaded BBQ Pork Fries: Fries, pulled pork, coleslaw, BBQ sauce, fried onions, jalapenos
- Breadsticks with marinara
- Cheesecake Cone
- Non-GMO Cookie from Sweet Street
This comes after the Packers introduced two new concession stands earlier this year:
- Patrick Cudahy Pack House: The Pig Skin, Ultimate Bacon Burger, Bacon Crusted Cheese Curds, Loaded Cheese Curds, Bacon Kettle Corn
- Travel Wisconsin Supper Club: Pot Roast Sandwich, Wisconsin Fish Fry, Pasties
The team also unveiled the Grub Tub, which attaches to the top of a drink so food can be carried in the same hand. The tub is built with a hole in the middle for a straw, so it does not have to be removed from the top of the cup.
“It’s kind of a fun idea. Every year we travel going to restaurant shows and conventions. We were at the one in Chicago and we saw the challenge that people have when they walk out of the concession stand is how do I eat my soda and eat my food," Eric Sampson, the Director of Operations at Delaware North Lambeau said Tuesday. "It’s all in both of your hands. You can put your nachos, you can put your cheese fries on top of your soda, and they give you a long straw so you have a free hand to eat. It’s a great idea, a very practical idea."
“I think fans, when it’s their first experience here, you know what they’re looking for as far as stadium fare," said Sampson. "But for the folks who come in week in and week out it’s nice to have as much variety as we’re offering now in the concessions level."
