Corporate food giant Centerplate is tasked with the monumental feat of feeding the rabid fans at the stadium on game day. Executive chef Dayanny De La Cruz has worked on the planning for two years. This Sunday, she and a team of 100 chefs and 2,400 culinary staff will serve more than 2,700 Maine lobster tails, 6,000 servings of short ribs, 1,500 servings of beef tenderloin, 10,000 hot dogs, and enough nachos to fill a swimming pool.
Plus, there are higher-end options for Club Level and suite guests. Options include gourmet bonbons hand-painted to match the colors of the 12 playoff teams, stone crabs, and even oysters and champagne for two — with a pearl bracelet thrown in for good measure.
Because the Super Bowl is the nation's biggest game of the year, every item gets a makeover. The humble hot dog is "leveled up" in the form of a giant cubano hybrid, and doughnuts dazzle in edible glitter.
And because many fans at the game will be from out of town, chef De La Cruz opted to showcase Miami flavors in many of the dishes. Look out for chicharrones, key lime pie, and Cuban sandwiches to give hungry visitors a taste of the 305.
The stadium will also significantly cut down on plastic waste. According to a handout, 99.4 percent of single-use plastics at the stadium will be eliminated from the food and beverage operations. In exchange, plates and cutlery will be made from eco-friendly materials, beer will be served in aluminum souvenir cups, and plastic water bottles have been replaced by cans.
The stadium has also introduced the Impossible burger and a vegan nacho option, allowing football fans on a plant-based diet to indulge as well.
From hot dogs to key lime pie milkshakes, here are the most interesting items fans will be eating at Super Bowl LIV.
