Braves offer locally themed eating for All-Star Game
The upcoming All-Star Week festivities will contain a lot of Southern flavor. And a large part of that will be the food offered around Truist Park.
The Braves and hospitality partner Delaware North announced their culinary lineup Wednesday for All-Star Week. There was heavy emphasis on making the food offerings appropriate for the area and region.
“The Midsummer Classic’s return to Atlanta is a momentous occasion, and we’re thrilled to showcase the best of Southern hospitality,” Charles Adams, general manager for Delaware North at Truist Park, said in a statement. “Our culinary team has crafted a menu that blends bold innovation with regional comfort, ensuring every fan experiences something unforgettable.”
Delaware North will be assisted by a culinary delegation from Patina Group, as well. Patina, according to the team’s news release, “operates high-profile restaurants at Walt Disney World, in New York City and throughout Los Angeles, and serves as the official catering partner for PGA of America championship events, including this year’s Ryder Cup on Long Island.”
Here are the unique offerings at Truist Park in the coming week, as presented by the Braves:
