The New York Yankees have introduced new food options for the 2024 season, including crispy fried meatballs by Food Network personality and Bronx native Christian Petroni. These meatballs are served with a cup of marinara sauce and cheesy garlic bread, and are expected to be a hit among fans. Other additions to the menu at Yankee Stadium include fried zeppoles with cannoli cream and chocolate and strawberry sauces, as well as Filet Mignon crispy tater tots from NYC butcher Lobel’s.
The addition of crispy tater tots to the menu is a departure from the typical French fries, offering a unique twist on a classic snack. Chef Marcus Samuelsson has also contributed Streetbird wings to the menu, while City Winery offers a porchetta sandwich with broccoli rabe and provolone and Mighty Quinn’s chipotle barbecue chicken sandwich. Dessert options include Grand slam, Butterfinger, or black and white cookie shakes.
NYC butcher Lobel’s will also be offering their signature Wagyu beef 99 burger in an expanded format in Section 107 of the stadium. Additionally, there will be no limit on the number of burgers available this season, compared to the limited availability last year. The park will also introduce a golden beer called New York’s Legendary Ale, replacing the longtime-loved Pinstripe Pilsner from Blue Point.
Christian Petroni, who grew up near Yankee Stadium, is excited to bring Italian favorites like meatballs and garlic bread to fans. Inspired by the success of New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito’s influence on Italian food in the sports world, Petroni is confident that meatballs could help lead the team to victory. He is proud to offer elevated Italian cuisine at a major sports venue, combining tradition with innovation.
Executive chef Robert Flowers is confident that the new additions, including the crispy fried meatballs, will be a huge hit with fans. These options add to the variety of flavors available at the stadium, from barbecue to porchetta and carne asada. Petroni’s meatballs, along with other Italian favorites, will be available at various locations throughout the stadium. The 2024 food roster at Yankee Stadium promises to offer a diverse selection of delicious options for fans to enjoy while watching the game.
