On Thursday night, the San Jose Sharks hosted the SAP Center Gameday Eats & Pro Shop Showcase. Essentially, it was an opportunity for the organization and the arena to show off their new merchandise and concessions that will soon be available to the general public.

Quite a bit of the merchandise was Joe Thornton-themed. Of course with his jersey retirement later this month, that was certainly to be expected. Other interesting things included a crossover Sharks/WWE championship belt, hats designed by local artists and serve-ware they’ll be using in concessions including a mini helmet for nachos.

The new food items, which were curated by executive chef Francisco Garcia, were widely varied. My personal favorite was the Hot Honey Chicken and Waffle Sandwich, with the Tender Pig Wings as a close second. The sandwich was a perfect mix between sweet and spicy, as someone who typically struggles with spicy food I was still able to enjoy it.

There were also a couple of new burgers, the Teal Smash Burger and a Vegan Smash Burger. For dessert, they also included a Teal Concha which was a great change of pace.

A few of the SAP Center’s partners on the concourse also announced some new menu items, such as Arteaga’s Carne Asada Fries and Flor de Pineapple’s Pineapple Fried Rice.

Those options will be available for the general public in various areas across the concourse. Meanwhile, they also announced a few new premium options that will be available only in suites. The premium food included prime rib, salmon, and chicken kebabs.

Sheng was a big fan of the chicken kebabs!
