Wells Fargo Center Adds Chick-fil-A and More to Your Second Favorite Arena Food Offerings
Second place in best arena food offerings sounds really good, until you realize there are only three arenas and second place got a whopping 8% of votes. Still, the Wells Fargo Center is at least adding some things to try to bump up that number this season.
According to Philly.com’s Michael Klein, the WFC will add Chick-fil-A and Lee’s Hoagies, among others, this year. “Chick-fil-A stands will be set up at Sections 110, 104, 207 – but be mindful that they, like the restaurants, are closed Sundays,” Klein says. “Lee’s Hoagies’ stands will sell Italian and turkey hoagies, and wrap versions, at Sections 113 and 223.” Those food places will also be open during events, so all of your Democratic supporters at the DNC can grab their favorite Chick-fil-A sandwich and sneakily eat it in a corner where no one can see them. Here are some of the other additions:
- Old City Brewhouse Sandwich Shop (Section 101)
- Hot roast pork with long hot peppers on a Liscio roll.
- Big Baby’s BBQ (Sections 119, 202)
- Loaded mac and cheese with choice of pork or chicken.
- Pulled chicken and pork sandwich topped with coleslaw.
- The Carvery (Section 120)
- Chopped brisket special: House smoked brisket, Vermont cheddar, mustard aioli, and hot Italian giardiniera, on a long roll.
And on top of all of that, the club level is adding a South Philly-style chicken cutlet (broccoli rabe, provolone) and the suites have added classic arena fare like bruschetta and seared crab cakes…
UPDATE: Full list of additions after the jump, via a Comcast news release.
