GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) – The Green Bay Packers have unveiled new culinary concession creations and there is a lot of spice and plenty of cheese.
The Packers and food and beverage partner Delaware North Sportservice showed off the new items during a news conference at Lambeau Field Thursday.
“They don’t just want a brat or a hot dog anymore. They want… you know… something a little bit different,” Executive Chef Zac Ladubec said.
Fans can sink their teeth into a new Walking Taco and Jalapeno Popper Sandwich… plus familiar stadium fare with a twist.
The Wisconsinite is a Johnsonville brat topped with jam and warm cheese curds.
If you’re a fan of nachos–check out the Barbecue Chipper.
It’s house-made potato chips topped with beef, Sargento cheese, sour cream and relish.
“We know the fans will be excited. We hear from so many fans, ‘Oh, I can’t wait to see what concession items there are this year. It’s fun to get these introduced and get feedback as we go,” Packers Director of Public Affairs Aaron Popkey said.
Lambeau’s chefs hope their unique creations keep fans coming back for more. They say food has a major impact on the game day experience.
“Ultimately, that energy that is created and provided helps the players. It’s symbiotic in so many ways,” Popkey continued.
“We want to have new food,” Ladubec explained. “We don’t just want to roll out the same food in new areas. As far as the packers are pushing food forward… Delaware North is trying to match it.”
