As the Windy City welcomes hockey fans to the outdoor spectacle that is the 2024 Winter Classic, the Wrigley Field food menu blends Chicago classics with flavorful innovation. Created by David Burns, Senior Executive Chef for Levy at Wrigley Field, the Levy Restaurants food offerings prove that sports are even more enjoyable when paired with creative ideas.
Chicago is known as a food town. It is more than the classic deep dish pizza or the hot dog dragged through the garden. The culinary scene appreciates how to blend classics with creative interpretations.
At this year’s Winter Classic at Wrigley Field, Chef David presented several menu items that epitomize that concept. Hockey fans better bring their appetite to the New Year’s Eve game.
Highlights from the 2024 Winter Classic at Wrigley Field menu
According to Levy Restaurants, the special menu features food and beverage items that will help guests ward off the winter chill. From hearty dishes to classic beverages, there is something for everyone.
This year, two of the special dishes are poutine. Chicago-Style Poutine transforms the classic Italian beef in a new way. Served in a Winter Classic mini hockey helmet, the hand-cut fries are topped with Italian beef, white cheddar cheese curds, au jus gravy, giardiniera, and sweet peppers. This dish is hearty and perfect for a wintry day. There might not be bread to dip, but those fries will be infused with tons of flavor.
The other poutine option is short rib poutine. This version highlights the tender short rib and a more traditional gravy. It is slightly more elevated but still as satisfying as the Chicago-Style Poutine.
To pair with those poutine options, do not miss the Beer Hockey Stick. The ultimate collectible for the hockey fan, the 24 oz mini hockey stick is served with the guest’s preferred beverage. It will be the must have souvenir from the game.
For guests who prefer a warm beverage, the Collective Hot Chocolate Tumblers are also available. Sometimes a little warmth can make that brisk Lake Michigan wind a little more bearable.
These items and several other creative food and beverage offerings will be available during the game. More information on the locations and pricing can be found at Wrigley Field.
In addition to the special gametime offerings, there will be a NHL PreGame Fan Festival just north of the stadium. Local food trucks, interactive games, and more will be available.
The 2024 Winter Classic at Wrigley Field has the Chicago Blackhawks hosting the St. Louis Blues. The puck will drop at 4 p.m. CT on December 31, 2024.
