Fritos Sundae: A Surprising Twist on Texas Classics

The Fritos Sundae is the result of a collaborative effort between the Dallas Cowboys' concession team and Legends Hospitality, the company responsible for the team's food and beverage operations. George Wasai, the vice president of food and beverage at Legends Hospitality, explains that the idea for this unique dessert came from a discussion about combining popular snack foods into a new and exciting concession item."At first, everyone thought I was crazy," Wasai admits. "They thought I was crazy wanting to do something like that – until we put it together to try it." However, once the first Fritos Sundae was assembled, the team's skepticism quickly turned to enthusiasm. "We realized how great of a dessert it was," Wasai says, and the feedback from fans has been overwhelmingly positive.The Fritos Sundae features a base of the iconic Fritos corn chips, topped with creamy Blue Bell ice cream, a dusting of cinnamon and sugar, and a drizzle of caramel and chocolate syrups. The dish is then finished off with a sprinkle of colorful sprinkles and a maraschino cherry, creating a visually appealing and delightfully indulgent treat.Concessions chef Heather Fuller, who oversees the culinary operations at AT&T Stadium, agrees that the Fritos Sundae is a winning combination. "They work together very well, and it's very good," she says, acknowledging that some may be hesitant to try a dessert that combines corn chips and ice cream. However, Fuller insists that the unique flavors and textures complement each other perfectly, making the Fritos Sundae a must-try for adventurous fans.

Tried-and-True Favorites: The Cowboys Cheesesteak and Lineman Burrito

While the Fritos Sundae may be the new kid on the block, the Dallas Cowboys' concession lineup also features some long-standing fan favorites. The Cowboys Cheesesteak, for example, has been a staple at AT&T Stadium for over 25 years and remains the top-selling sandwich at the venue.Wasai explains that the team wanted to create their own take on the classic Philly cheesesteak, incorporating ingredients and flavors that are quintessentially Texan. The result is a shaved sirloin steak, seasoned with a special blend, topped with all-natural jalapeño jack cheese, onions, and jalapeños. According to Wasai, the Cowboys Cheesesteak is so good that even visiting Philadelphia Eagles fans have been won over, raving about the quality and taste of the sandwich.Another crowd-pleasing item is the Lineman Burrito, which made its debut last season and has quickly become a customer favorite. This Texas-sized burrito is a fusion of Tex-Mex and barbecue flavors, featuring a 17-inch tortilla stuffed with the team's famous Cowboys Mac and Cheese, house-smoked brisket, jalapeño pepper jack sausage, pico de gallo, candied jalapeños, and barbecue sauce. As Fuller notes, the Lineman Burrito is not for the faint of heart, but it's a true taste of Texas that is meant to be shared.
