Dallas Cowboys add trendy plant-based snacks to new stadium menu

The Dallas Cowboys released their annual list of new foods for the 2021-2022 NFL season at AT&T Stadium, this year with a big emphasis on plant-based foods.

According to a press release, the novelties will debut on Monday, September 27, in the Cowboys’ home opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

A big addition this season is a new range of herbal offerings made with products grown on the WE Over Me Farm at Paul Quinn College in Dallas.

AT&T Stadium Legends and Paul Quinn College have teamed up on Plant-Based Touchdown, a campaign that focuses on the health benefits of fresh produce to inspire African Americans, Latinos, Indians and all fans to add more plants to their diets to record.

“Legends at AT&T Stadium has a long and warm association with WE Over Me Farm, where organic produce is grown on Paul Quinn’s former soccer field, a field I used to play on,” said George Wasai, an alumnus of Paul Quinn College, a former Paul Quinn Tigers soccer player and now the director of Food & Beverage at Legends Hospitality. “We hope to have a positive impact on the well-being and health of the entire North Texas community, and especially those most susceptible to chronic disease.”

The press release cites a 2020 CDC diabetes statistics report that found a prevalence of diabetes among people of Hispanic, African American, and Native American origins. According to the Journal of the American Heart Association, a plant-based diet is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

The new vegetable items are sold in two special vegetable / vegetarian carts in sections U411 and U441. Legends in the culinary staff of the AT&T Stadium will take care of the cooking while students at Paul Quinn College hand out recipe cards.

The following selection is served:

  • Great plant-based burger on a brioche roll with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and chipotle aioli.
  • Buffalo Chick’n Nachos with blue corn tortilla chips, jalapeño jack queso and vegetable-based chicken from Sweet Earth in buffalo sauce, with pickled jalapeños.
  • Touchdown Tator Tots with jalapeño jack cheese, guacamole, sour cream and vegetable-based chicken from Sweet Earth in choula sauce.
  • Vegetable-based chicken and avocado wrap with vegetable-based chicken, avocado, lettuce and ranch, in a soft tortilla.
  • Plant-based chopped chicken salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, charred corn, vegetable-based chicken and black beans.

In addition to the plant-based offerings, the stadium will also offer other new menu items that are not plant-based, including:
