For Tampa Bay fans hungry for a World Series title, there’s no better place to be this week than the Trop. But while we wait to see who wins this best-of-seven series between the Rays and Brewers, here’s something else to chew on -- new mouth-watering dishes available at the “Taste of October” stand on the Budweiser Porch in Center Field.
The Clubhouse Tomahawk
This is an 18-oz. Wagyu bone-in ribeye steak with a pepper crust and herb butter, offered sliced or on the bone, served with truffle parmesan fries, saffron aioli, and spicy remoulade.
A “Tomahawk and Toast” option includes the same items, plus a bottle of Veuve Clicquot and four Postseason champagne flutes. Additionally, fans can upgrade their experience with Dom Perignon for an additional price, and standalone champagnes or wines by the glass or bottle are also available. If this menu item sounds familiar, it is – it was inspired by designated hitter Yandy Diaz, who enjoyed a Tomahawk during the Rays pennant-clinching celebration in the clubhouse.
Colossal Stone Crab Claws
Seafood lovers are advised to grab a buddy (or three) and head to the Taste of October stand, where they’ll find this dish: more than one pound of Colossal Stone Crab Claws served with Bloody Mary cocktail sauce, Florida citrus mustard, and a lemon slice, available for $99.
Fans can also try the Tampa Bay Surf & Turf with Colossal Stone Crab Claws AND the Clubhouse Tomahawk Steak – available for $209, while supplies last.
Homespun Gelato
No meal is complete without dessert, and to that end, fans can enjoy Homespun Gelato with one of two gelato flavors -- salted caramel or Tahitian vanilla bean -- and a choice of a topping and cookie, served in a souvenir helmet.
Fans can also go big with the “Sweet Field of Dreams” option, featuring both salted caramel gelato and Tahitian vanilla bean gelato, a double chocolate cookie, a triple chocolate chip cookie, and a red velvet cookie, with Kahlúa chocolate ganache and toasted pistachio for dipping.
Bon appetit!
