There’s something to be said for snacking on delicious morsels while witnessing the world’s top athletes push themselves to the peak of physical performance.
As the USA Basketball team slam dunks its way to a hopeful third consecutive gold medal, you can dunk fresh tortillas into luscious chorizo-studded Queso Fundido and swoop classic Buffalo Chicken Wings into blue cheese dressing. Witness Michael Phelps swim toward victory while diving into a plate of savory Leek & Wild Mushroom–Stuffed Potato Skins, or a generous helping of refreshing Cold & Spicy Asian Noodles. As the Track and Field team sprints for the finish line, no hurdle will bar your way from demolishing a bowl of Sriracha Beef Jerky. The dishes can be as varied as the sports you choose to watch. Gold medal goes to he who washes the dishes!
