Delaware North and newly-introduced Executive Chef Sean Kinoshita are creating their own starting lineup of regional dishes and classical stadium favorites to help create a memorable game day experience for Jaguars fans. “My goal is to push the envelope and bring foods not currently being served in football stadiums,” said Kinoshita. Kinoshita is a seasoned culinarian, trained by several James Beard Award-winning chefs. Born and raised in Hawaii, his early training revolved around using fresh, seasonal ingredients, a practice he continues today. He is also trained in the art of sushi preparation, a talent he’s bringing to the US Assure Club. “There are some unique challenges that come with orchestrating a large staff serving more than 60,000 fans on game day,” said Kinoshita. “But I love finding the harmony and communication between departments as we transport fresh food to each suite and concession” Fans can find new foods all across EverBank Field. In the premium spaces, Kinoshita is testing out foie gras with sliders just for the Green Bay game. In the general bowl Kinoshita has a few favorites he recommends fans look out for including the “gator dog” and the loaded chicken tenders that come with “all the bells and whistles.” Photo Credit: Florida Times-Union
