I can't believe this news, mostly because it means I may have to stop criticizing Tropicana Field. Sheesh. Chef Dave Pasternack has partnered up with concessionaire Centerplate to offer two new food stands to Rays fans, which means to relocated New Yorkers who go to Yankees games. Hee hee. I can't give the Rays a break.
Moving on, Fresco Fish Taco and Ti Dave’s Po’ Boys stands will serve signature menu items Pasternack created especially for Rays fans.
Fresco Fish Taco - soft-shell tacos stuffed with seasoned and grilled fresh mahi-mahi topped with a tangy cabbage slaw, warm tortilla chips, and a choice of tropical pineapple salsa or salsa fresca creamy queso dip; plus a selection of drinks including Presidente beer.
Ti Dave’s Po’ Boys - grilled fresh shrimp or artisanal andouille po boys both smothered with crunchy slaw, sweet peppers and a zesty Creole mustard in a baguette; plus Chef Pasternack’s Cajun Fries; and, Louisiana’s Abita beer (SG loves this beer).
