The Calgary Stampeders’ season at McMahon Stadium is underway, and people are loving having it back.
Just as exciting as the action on the field is the classic and new food to try at the different vendors that surround the crowd.
Dished was able to catch the game and also get our hands on some of the dishes that already have us craving the next home game.
To be honest, our head was down in the food the entire time. We didn’t catch much of the game.
These are the best things to eat this year at McMahon Stadium.
Mexicana Dog
There are a few amazing foot-long hot dog options this year, but the tasty Mexicana dog with ranch and banana peppers is the one you need to go for. Trust us.
Hand-Carved Baron of Beef
This sandwich comes with thinly sliced Alberta AAA beef, all on a locally sourced onion bun. It’s fresh off the heat, and as soon as you get it, add as much ranch, aioli, or BBQ sauce as you want.
Pulled Pork Parfait
Definitely one of the most unique (and best) things we tried this year, this thing had people turning heads. This is a parfait layered with BBQ sauce, mashed potatoes, corn, green onions, and surprisingly great pulled pork.
Pocket Dawg
The iconic Pocket Dawg isn’t just for the Saddledome. You can get these hot dogs inside of a baguette at McMahon Stadium too! Choose whatever kind you’d like, and get whatever fillings you’d like. It’s hard to stop at just one.
Taco in a Bag
The classic taco-in-a-bag with Doritos. They’re a staple at most sporting events at every level, and that’s because they’re quick to make, convenient to eat and taste absolutely perfect.
