Chopped Cheese

A sizzling griddle, the roar of the supporters’ section, and a sandwich stacked higher than the scoreline — Section 110’s Chopped Cheese stand looked like a hidden gem waiting to happen. But once the $17.99 beast hit my tray, excitement turned to confusion. Dry, under-seasoned beef and flavor-free cheese wiz weighed down the “classic,” while a promised bulgogi upgrade proved to be the same meat wearing a new label. Portion size? Huge. Napkin count? Even bigger. Dive into my full account of wins, fails, and a hilarious napkin disaster in the latest Pitchside Plates review.

Seoul Taco

When you think stadium food, you might picture hot dogs, nachos, maybe a burger if you're lucky. But Seoul Taco is here to change the game entirely — blending Korean BBQ flavor with Mexican classics right in the heart of Energizer Park.

In Episode 6 of Pitchside Plates, we reviewed Seoul Taco’s Chicken Tacos, Kids' Chicken Tacos, and a massive Bulgogi Steak Burrito. Here's what stood out:

  • Flavor Bomb: The Seoul sauce and bulgogi steak combo was hands-down one of the best bites of the season.

  • Family Friendly: There’s an actual kids’ option — simple and filling.

  • Value Surprise: The $20 burrito might seem steep, but it’s big enough to feed two.

Beast BBQ Nachos Review

We may have found the best-kept secret at Energizer Park. Tucked beside the supporter’s section in Section 127, Beast BBQ Nachos serves up a massive tray of smoked BBQ chicken nachos for just $14.99 — and we’re still shocked at how much food we got. Every chip was covered, every bite packed with flavor, and the portion? Enough for two. We scored this meal a perfect 9 out of 9 across flavor, value, and shareability.

So seriously… why didn’t we know about these nachos before?!

👉 Watch the full episode now and see why this might be the best nacho deal in the stadium.
