The Phoenix Suns are upping their game off the court with a new lineup of over 20 food items, and it's not just the players getting a revamp this basketball season. "We have over 20 new items [featured] on our menus this season. We're very excited about them," Oak View Group executive chef Otis Huemmer detailed in an interview with ABC15. Fire up your taste buds for the new 'smoked' concept featuring an 18-hour smoked brisket sourced from the local and sustainably-minded K4 Ranch, a pulled pork sandwich, and smoked wings.
Carnivores may salivate at the notion of smoked proteins, but there are more options to savor at a Suns game, for example, the colossal 12-inch taco aptly named The Big Taco: "It's shareable. I would say, bring a friend if you're going to take it on. It's loaded with carne asada, guacamole, pico de gallo. It's delicious," Huemmer exposed in the same ABC15 report. The venue confirms, alongside the hearty meats and oversized tacos, fans can also enjoy a novelty Gorilla Souvenir Popcorn Bucket—a memorabilia item that doubles as a snack holder.
Brought to life for the Suns' first faceoff of the season against the Dallas Mavericks on October 26 at Footprint Center, the team's commitment to enhancing the food experience—whether it be the Gorilla Souvenir Popcorn Bucket or the appetizing main courses—signals an exciting season ahead for fans in Phoenix. According to a NewsMinimalist.com article, the 12-inch taco filled with a bountiful mix of carne asada and guacamole is poised to be a crowd-pleaser.
