This New York Times article on food served as sports bars made me think of items I would consider must-haves. No, I do not want a butternut squash bisque, nor do I want roasted brussels sprouts. I want bar food, damn it!
- Chicken wings. Multiple flavors (e.g. Buffalo, BBQ) are fine, but I don’t require 30 flavors.
- Nachos. Sometimes I like to make them into a meal, so having the works (e.g. chicken or beef, jalapenos, etc.) available is crucial.
- Sliders. Okay, so I usually end up eating the entire plate, which means I should have just ordered a regular burger. Don’t judge.
- Cheese curds. I’ve had some really bad ones outside of Wisconsin, so I will compromise and say that sports bars outside this state do not have to have them on their menu.
- Chicken tenders. I’ve gotten so accustomed to seeing these on the menu that if for some odd reason I’m not craving wings, then I may go with the tenders. Please include honey mustard and BBQ sauces!
- French fries, waffles fries, soft pretzels, onion rings, etc. Basically, some kind of side is helpful.
- Free popcorn. Enough said.
Any items that are required for your sports bar menu?
