The College World Series Food Tasting took place today at TD Ameritrade Park. It was another home run by Chris Myers and Levy Foods!
The Colossal Tot returns this year with an Italian spin to it with Italian sausage and marinara sauce. Only 50 of these are made per game and there is a countdown for these that you can watch. Order early to not be disappointed.
My surprise absolute favorite of the tasting was the Wonderboy Dog. The pickled purple cabbage and mustard smear with a thinly sliced piece of cheese with a savory dog was incredibly delicious. Even people in the room who weren’t mustard fans enjoyed this dog.
The Lithuanian Torte is a local Omaha favorite that now people from out of town can sample and enjoy. If you have never tasted its buttery flaky layers with apricot and cream filling, you are missing out. Don’t miss out and try it. I shared one just yesterday with my youngest. Indescribably good. Yum.
Number two on my list of favorites was also a surprise-the Baja Beef Taco. It was amazingly good. It’s a must try for the CWS. Another tasty taco was the Chicken Tinga.
I didn’t get to try this punny salad. For you ,younger folk, out there, Ty Cobb was a baseball player from the Detroit Tigers. I am guessing this in honor of the Tigers coming here on Thursday. If you don’t have tickets, get some for tomorrow’s MLB game, a great appetizer for the CWS or for some the main course.
The Hot Dog Sandwich is a sandwich, Chris tells us. It has meat in the middle and bread on both sides of it. Therefore it is a sandwich. This one is a BLT with a pickle and a tasty hot dog inside. #SandwichNotSandwich
The Grand Slam Nachos looked very good but I did not get to try them. Something to look forward at the game.
The Lobster Truffle Fries were a lot of people’s favorite at the tasting.
I didn’t get to try the Pimento Cheese Pretzel but it looked might good. Have to, of course, enjoy that they are baseball shaped and set near the baseballs.
These super meaty Pork Wings were a big hit with those who tried them.
The Texas Leaguer Tavern is a loose meat sandwich. It was so good it was hard to describe. Britanny helped with the words for this, “Perfect in every bite”. That summed it up. Each bite was perfect bite after perfect bite and perfect balanced.
The Omaha Smoke House is available in the Suites.
The Lemon Chicken Board is available in the suites.
Here is the menu for this year:
Stay tuned for more CWS food photographs and an interview. They are coming soon.
