Hosted by FC Cincinnati, the media was invited to their annual food and beverage event which allows us to have a preview of the new menu items we can expect to see at TQL Stadium this year. Executive chef Sheldon Morgan, who was part of the inaugural season staff and has been in the executive chef role for two years, highlighted the increased diversity in the menu. He states, “We wanted to kind of represent the team’s diversity in our menu and make sure we have something featured that everyone will love”.
This can be seen in the new hit vegan option- the ELT- which is a take on the classic BLT but instead uses eggplant in place of bacon and adds a rich vegan parmesan spread. The cauliflower tikka masala brings a blend of worldly spices while dishes like the loaded hot mett and Gary’s chicken sandwich remind us of the delicacies local to our Queen City. The clubs and suites have some incredible shareables coming as well with my personal favorite being the Argentine nachos you can find in FFC.
Lastly, we got an up-close look at the 10-year anniversary merchandise that highlights the club’s growth and history. The new scarf options and pullovers will be excellent for these cold weather
matches before summer hits.
