Texans fans expect new food items at games this season 😋

HOUSTON – With a wafting smell of barbecue and other savory food inside their press room, the Texans unveiled several new concession food items available this fall at NRG Stadium.

That includes a new partnership with award-winning Truth Barbecue becoming the exclusive barbecue provider in place of Killen’s.

The Texans will continue to feature Trill Burgers at home football games.

They also are going to feature several Asian-themed food items, including chicken wonton nachos, Asian infusion beef teriyaki tacos, a loaded General Tso’s chicken served with waffle fries and queso sauce, Vietnamese meatballs as well as a strawberry cheesecake dessert pretzel, Wagyu birria tacos, loaded popcorn, a watermelon and feta salad and Buffalo lemon pepper chicken tenders.

“It’s all about representing Houston and H-Town, in all that we do,” Texans team president Greg Grissom said. “You’re right. Houston is a food town. People love to eat here. And we want to make sure that’s represented here at NRG Stadium. All the diversity of products that the entire city has, we want to make sure they have here on game day.

“We’re always looking to evolve. We’re always trying to get better and think about what’s important to our fans and representing Houston. With our partners at Aramark, it’s an every-year thing with over 80 new menu items. It’s an exciting time.”

Truth Barbecue will be available throughout the stadium.

The Texans and Aramark are responding to what customers are telling them they want to eat at football games.

Among Grissom’s favorites: Bang Bang chicken bites and General Tso’s waffle fries.

“My friends at Truth do it right,” Grissom said.

“Asian comes up a lot,” Aramark district manager Chris Devore said. “So, that’s why we really hit it a lot this year. We’re always going to the barbecue. Burgers are a big thing. We’ve got Trill Burger’s coming back full force this year.”
