Anyone hungry?
Because the Stadium Series -- the NHL’s final outdoor special of the 2016-17 campaign -- will pit more than the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers against each other.
Aramark -- the official food and beverage provider not only for the Pens and Flyers at PPG Paints Arena and Wells Fargo Center, respectively, but also for the Stadium Series’ Heinz Field -- has plans to unveil rival foods during Saturday’s game.
Yes, you read that right. And if the last five meetings between the two Eastern Conference foes are any indication of how competitive the Pens-Flyers rivalry will be in the Stadium Series, Aramark’s specially themed dishes could give the game a run for its money.
Welcome to 2017’s Fry Stak Face-Off between the Philly Chicken and Waffle Fry Stak and the Steel City Pot Roast Stak.
Translation: Aramark will be offering the two meals at Heinz Field for the Stadium Series. Philly’s dish is a blend of CrissCut fries, breaded chicken bites, smoked gouda gravy, maple glazed bacon and green onions. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, gets to rep a bowl of fries topped with house-braised pot roast, gravy and a blend of Colby and cheddar cheeses.
Which one will reign supreme?
It’s a tough call, but perhaps it sets up an even more important question: Cheesesteaks or Primanti Brothers?
Let the Stadium Food Series begin.
