"Garlic, bread, and butter are a better trio than Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang. The Pittsburgh Penguins divisional rival the New Jersey Devils are introducing a new menu item for concession stands this season: a goalie helmet filled with garlic knots. Nothing hits like watching Jack Hughes snipe pucks while stuffing your face with some Italian comfort food."
"Arena food is notorious for skimping on portion sizes. The Buffalo Sabres heard that and said "nope, not today" when they decided to come out with this two foot chicken parm sub. Yes, that's a whole 24 inches of sweet melty mozzarella and tomato sauce drenched chicken cutlet goodness. Decent sized sandwiches are the least the Sabres can do for their faithful fans who are still enduring a 14 year (and counting) playoff drought."
"The sandwich is officially called the " The Big Parm Thompson" and is inspired by Tage Thompson's favorite pregame meal. Good choice, Tage, there's never a bad time for chicken parm. Thompson also inspired the "The Tage Hero" sandwich available as well. Maybe the Buffalo Sabres were motivated by the Providence Bruins coming out with their own chicken parm alternate identity."
Arenas are adding inventive concession items to attract fans and boost spending. The New Jersey Devils will serve garlic knots inside souvenir goalie helmets at the Prudential Center, offering a sizeable keepsake and a shareable snack option. The Buffalo Sabres introduced a two‑foot chicken parmesan sub called The Big Parm Thompson, inspired by Tage Thompson's pregame meal, plus The Tage Hero sandwich. The oversized chicken parm emphasizes hearty portions and leans into local food culture, positioning large, indulgent sandwiches as marquee arena offerings for fans seeking substantial game‑night fare.
