WASHINGTON — If last year鈥檚 didn鈥檛 get your stomach growling, this year鈥檚 concessions menu at FedExField might have what it takes.
At a preview event on Wednesday, some lucky fans and members of the media got a sneak peek at new additions.
This year, football fans can dig into dishes like the 鈥淗ottodoggu,鈥 a Japanese-inspired hot dog, or the 鈥淧iled High Pit鈥 sandwich, which packs a quarter-pound of sirloin and turkey onto a kaiser roll. There鈥檚 also the DC Que Dog, a beef hot dog topped with BBQ pork, coleslaw and fried jalapenos.
If you鈥檙e seeking out something sweet at FedExField, there are plenty of dessert options. Alexandria, Virginia, based Maribeth鈥檚 Bakery provides custom cakes and cookies, decorated with the Washington Redskins logo for Wednesday鈥檚 event.
鈥淲e do those things for the Redskins throughout the season. They order a lot. 鈥 From the looks of the orders we get, it looks like they鈥檙e having a good time,鈥 said Tom Nyerges, of Maribeth鈥檚 Bakery.
For fans who would like something lighter, there are vegetarian and gluten free options, as well as dishes such as the Heartland Tuna Salad. The produce you鈥檒l see at FedExField comes from Baltimore鈥檚 Hearn Kirkwood, which likes to keep things close to home.
鈥淲e鈥檒l try to get as much local as possible [and] cut down on the carbon footprint. At the same time it鈥檚 a better product — higher quality, cheaper price,鈥 said Michael Pressman, with Hearn Kirkwood.
And back in their seats, fans will be happy to see a new addition as they juggle their snacks: cup holders. Senior Vice President of Stadium Operations and Guest Experience Chris Bloyer said that this year, every seat will have a cup holder.
