'Top Chef' adds to Eagles' menu
Michael Klein, Philly.com
Top Chef winner and Eagles fan Kevin Sbraga has developed a sandwich to be served during Eagles games on the club level at Lincoln Financial Field this season.
Sbraga, whose eponymous restaurant is at Broad and Pine Streets, said he reached out to Aramark, which bit on the idea and encouraged him to develop a menu item.
The result: the Sloppy Jose - short rib and chorizo seasoned with cumin, cinnamon and coriander, topped with grated queso Chihuahua and a homemade coleslaw made of shaved radish and jalapeno as well as carrots and cabbage plus chipotle lime mayo, and served on a toasted sesame seed roll. Price: $14, including housemade chips.
The Aramark-Sbraga partnership is to be announced Wednesday, as Aramark exec chef James Hennessey also unveils a so-called Pass Interference sandwich (a South Philadelphia-style roasted pork with arugula, fontina cheese, garlic jus on a seeded Italian rol) and Italian Market nachos (homemade sausage Bolognese, mozzarella cheese sauce, housemade ricotta and fresh jalapenos on a bed of corn chips).
Also new to the Linc this season will be grilled cheese sandwiches from Melt Down Grilled Cheese and a Dietz & Watson Spinach Chicken Parmigiana sandwich on an Italian roll with tomatoes and sharp provolone
I thought the signature sandwich of the Eagles was balony: that is what they have been selling the dopey fans for years with the product that they put on the field.— STEPHEN1988

- Food is horrible at The Linc. They should walk across the street to The Bank and get some pointers.— Earl J
- What about some healthy vegan options at the Linc? What's next, a bacon confit sandwich with chicken fried steak on a brioche bun with mayonaise, aoli, and fontina cheese?— Keith S.

- They should conider blending up all the food at the Linc to limit any aditional choking hazards.— JMCPA
- Aramark = bad food— JFD
- Aramark does a terrible job at the Linc. It would be interesting to find out how much Aramark is paying the Eagles in commissions to manage the food service. Aramark makes money, the Eagles make money and the fans are stuck with over priced food that is of the poorest quality. Although the hourly workers are very nice and provide good service.— section117
