After "years of barbs over the quality and price of its culinary offerings," Wellington's Westpac Stadium "has fired up a new menu," according to Matt Stewart of STUFF. The stadium joined venues such as London's Wembley Stadium, Sydney Cricket Ground and Melbourne Park by enlisting global caterer Delaware North. That means, starting with the All Blacks vs. France test on Saturday, stadium punters "will be able to choose from 10 different burgers ranging from a classic cheeseburger and a pulled lamb burger" to the vegetarian "shroom stack" burger. The stadium "has also introduced fried chicken and smoked meat meals as well as cheaper family-friendly food," including a kids' chicken and chips for A$5 ($3.77). Chili dogs -- "a staple at many American sports stadiums -- have also found their way to Westpac Stadium, as have gluten-free nachos." Delaware North took over from previous stadium caterer Spotless in April "and has spent the past few months refining a new public menu" in partnership with the Wellington Hospitality Group (STUFF, 6/13).
