The operator: Aladdin Food Management for B&I
The snacking contenders: Turkey wings, basketball-themed sweets
This year, Eric Pearce, corporate executive chef for Aladdin Food Management, is swapping out pricier chicken wings for turkey wings, giving fans the option of customizing them with a selection of sauces. “Instead of offering four to five chicken wings, one turkey wing makes a good-sized serving,” says Pearce. Staff at the station offer Pearce’s twist on traditional sauces, including cilantro-lime ranch dressing and Buffalo sauce ramped up with grated cheese.
He also prepares sweets and savories to serve on the line as game-day options. “We’ll bake a cake and scoop out pieces with a melon baller to form little basketballs, then deep-fry and decorate them,” Pearce says.
