As the Baltimore Ravens prepare battle the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ravens fans are hungry for a feast prepared by the Levy Restaurants chefs at M&T Bank Stadium. For the first playoff game, the culinary team is serving some flavorful Charm City inspired food and beverage offerings that score a win with guests.
Levy Restaurants understands that playoff games are a huge celebration. While the traditional home game menus always get people excited, the NFL post-season is a time to pull out some special food and beverage offerings. It is a time to not only cheer for another triumphant season but also to reward those loyal fans with an extra serving of deliciousness.
For tonight’s game, the Levy Restaurants chefs at M&T Stadium have added two food items and two cocktails. They are: Smoked Turkey Leg with Maryland Crab Dip, Shrimp and Grits, Iced in the End Zone Cocktail, and The Blackbird Crush.
The Smoked Turkey Leg with Maryland Crab Dip is the most creative offering. While football fans love a handheld food item at a football game, serving the turkey leg with the dip is not typical.
For those unfamiliar, Maryland Crab Dip is usually made with lump crab, cream cheese, and Old Bay Seasoning. The Old Bay Seasoning is iconic. It is not only a classic with crab, but it works well with poultry, too.
The interactive aspect of this dish makes it fun. People can have a big helping of dip or just a small schmear. The “as you like it” moment makes it customizable. It will make the dish the must have item for the game.
The Shrimp and Grits are served with a lobster cream sauce. Given the chilly weather, it will be warm, comforting and satisfying.
The two cocktails are quite different. The Blackbird Crush is the “crush of the game.” While everyone should sip responsibly, this cocktail is quite refreshing and easy drinking. Featuring Absolut Citron, blackberry syrup, triple sec and lemonade, it pairs well with the special food items or anything on the menu. Hopefully, fans will be raising a glass to many Ravens scores.
Lastly, the Iced in the End Zone Cocktail is a Club Level exclusive. The coffee and cream cocktail features vanilla vodka. Hopefully the sweet sipper toasts to another victory.
These specialty food and beverage items will be available at various sections in the M&T Bank Stadium. Check with the stadium for more information.
