What to Eat on Game Day in L.A.!

It’s September, which means we are in professional sports mode overload! And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering what there is to eat to make the game go by faster!! Pick your sport below and see all the options you have when it comes to What to Eat on Game Day in L.A. Scroll to the end for restaurants outside the stadium that are holding special events. 

Baseball 

Dodger Stadium

The food, curated by Executive Chef Ryan Evans, is all about making your usual game-day eats taste even more like Los Angeles.

Step outside of your Doyer Dog comfort zone and sample the Cheet-O-Lote sweet roasted corn on a stick. Rubbed with chipotle lime mayo and dusted with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, cotija cheese, and Tajin seasoning, it’s a party in your mouth! Just not first-date food 🙂

Next, enjoy a sweet and savory Chicken N’ Waffle Sammy or go for the win with the King’s Hawaiian Lobster Roll made with New England-style lobster mix.

On the sweeter side, my must-have is the Churro Cake made with Horchata ice cream and drenched in Abuelita’s Caramel and shavings.

Soccer

BMO Stadium

The BMO Stadium has a plethora of dining options, including La Monarca Bakery, Wolfie’s Plant-Based Hot Chicken Sandwiches, and Trejo’s Tacos. Located at the stadium’s southeast corner, fans can order food on the LAFC app from their seat and s kip the line at the taco stand! Menu items include Chicken and Steak Tacos; Chips with salsa or guacamole; Beer; and Margaritas.

The Fields L.A.

Also located right next to the stadium, the luxury Food hall, The Fields LA, has finally reopened for game day dining. Among other Los Angeles eateries, you’ll find Triple Beam Pizza from Chef Nancy Silverton, Amboy Burgers, and TacosWay. 

Football

SoFi Stadium

SoFi Stadium is home to both the L.A. Rams and the Chargers, which means there’s always a home game to be had.

During the 2022-2023 season, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo from L.A. restaurant favorites Son of a Gun and Jon & Vinny’s created something reminiscent of a city lifestyle with L.A. Eats for SoFi Stadium, and many of the fan favorites will remain for the 2023-2024 season. 

Food choices are categorized by popular street names in Los Angeles, such as San Vicente Blvd, Fairfax Avenue, and Sawtelle Blvd. The up-leveled stadium food on Fairfax Avenue will include menu items like a Deep Fried Hot Dog and an Elongated Cheeseburger (on a sub bun) as well as Vegan Chili. San Vicente Blvd shows off a thick Pizza with classic California ingredients and a Stromboli Dog, wrapped in mortadella and capicola ham and then wrapped in pizza dough and baked in the oven. Healthy items like Kale and Gem Lettuce Salad will be paired with Meatballs to make it a full meal. Lastly, Sawtelle Blvd has more of an Asian flair with a Fried Chicken Sandwich topped with slaw and Tsunami Tots topped with Kewpie mayo and hoisin sauce. 

The SoFi Stadium setup also allows for a more interactive experience for diners, with clear glass in all the kitchens and a sightline to the field, so you’ll never miss a play because you had to order that second beer.  

L.A. Coliseum

Executive Chef John Brenning is keeping things classic at the LA Coliseum and you can find a taste of almost everything that makes Los Angeles great. There are Al Pastor Tacos at Ole; BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches at Smoked; and stadium food standards like Hot Dogs and Chicken Tenders – available in a “Grub Tub” for easy carrying. There’s even a place called Pardon My Cheesesteak, which was actually created by two sports podcasters from Pardon my Take. 

Only in Los Angeles, folks :).
