So here's my take on the new menu (sorry, was a little rushed last night and didn't get to do a write up) thanks for getting this stuff up, Jared!
- Everything from Lotus was very good - obviously, they Vietnamese food and have been doing this for a long time, but it's always tough making the transition to a stadium. If the food is like it was today, it's a win. I particularly loved the pork egg rolls - they had the thin wrapper and were served on a stick, and the sesame chicken.
- Walleye taco - this is a light, fresh, nice option. Love that there's a healthy option if you don't feel like something really heavy, or for a hot day. It's just baked walleye with the fixings.
- Wings - I tried the parm garlic and BBQ - both were really nice, they were crispy and saucy. They are going to be made to order. Other sauces are Buffalo and Cilantro sweet chili sauce
- Beer Cheese soup - one of my faves - I don't know why, I just really loved this. It wasn't too thick, had a lot of flavor, and had nice garnish on it with popcorn too. I kept comping back and eating bites of this one, and even at room temp was still delish.
- Poutine - I was really skeptical on this one, as it has a nacho cheese sauce on it, but it worked. There was a pot roast with gravy on the fries with fired cheese curds, the sauce and scallions. It didn't look as good as it tasted.
- Walleye and chips basket - this was my least favorite item, perhaps the only thing I didn't really like. The batter was just too thick for me, and the walleye just tasted too fishy. Maybe it was the day, but with so many other great options, I had to prioritize stomach space.
- The "Hot" dog - was HOT - had flaming hot Cheetos on it, siracha, and jalapenos. I'm not a super spicy person (I'm a bad brown person) but it was good, the dog itself was a really good beef, so I'd vouch for the gourmet hot dogs
- I was too full to try the burgers, I heard they were good, but nothing so different that I need to try.
Now the Finale....the Over the Top Gopher Shake. That's exactly what it is, OVER THE TOP. Omg. I'm not even a sweets person, and this shake is the bomb. Creamy, not too sweet, the donuts on it were amazing. I recommended sample sizes which is what we got, but the monster size is only $10 so makes some friends and share it.
Really impressed with the additions. 9 years ago, you pretty much could not eat in the stadium the food was so bad, there wasn't a legit choice, now there are many, kudos to the Gopher food staff for doing this!
