If your go-to order at the game is just a boring old hot dog, you’re not alone. A new study found it’s still America’s favorite stadium food. But if that’s too boring . . .
Turkey legs breaded with crushed-up CHEEZ-ITS will debut at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando this month. (Cheez-It has been sponsoring bowl games since 2018, and they’ve been the main Citrus Bowl sponsor since 2023.)
Fans at the game can buy them starting in the second quarter for $25 each. (!!!) Or, there’s a cheaper option: They also posted the recipe on CheezIt.com. (Here’s a photo.)
No Cheez-It-crusted options made THIS list though: The site Action Network analyzed over 100,000 food reviews at 100 venues to see which foods sports fans talk about the most. Here are the Top 10:
1. Hot dogs. They make up 18% of stadium food mentions across all sports.
2. Fries, 11%
3. Nachos, 10%
4. Pizza, 10%
5. Popcorn, 9%
6. Wings, 7%
7. Hot pretzels, 6%
8. Ice cream, 4%
9. Tacos, 3%
10. Peanuts, 2% (Who the hell is reviewing peanuts??)
They also looked at the top CONDIMENTS people mention in their reviews, and ranch is #1 by far. 62% of condiment mentions are about ranch dressing. Ketchup is next at 17%, then mustard at 16%.
