Aramark Rolls Out New MLB Menu Items

Colorado Brisket Melt - Coors Field

In advance of the 2017 Major League Baseball season, Aramark is rolling out new menu items at several ballparks. 

Culinarians at the eight ballparks where Aramark provides the food and beverage services spent the off-season developing new recipes and innovative concepts to further enhance the gameday dining experience. From shareable loaded French fries and gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches to house-cured, hand-carved and handmade sandwiches, Aramark continues to transform the ballpark food game.

“As sports’ food and beverage expert, creating a menu complete with unique and distinctive options has always been a hallmark of ours,” said Carl Mittleman, president of Aramark’s Sports and Entertainment division. “Our culinary teams work tirelessly to create menus that are on-trend and full of variety and complementary flavors and this year’s offerings, once again, set the standard for ballpark dining.”
