New for 2013, here’s another delicious option: five completely vegan dishes.

New for 2013, here’s another delicious option: five completely vegan choices that may change how you think about vegetarian eating.

We developed these items in collaboration with two of the country’s best vegan chefs, Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby of Vedge restaurant in Philadelphia. Vedge is a one-of-a-kind, award-winning restaurant. It’s totally vegan, but 90% of its clientele are not vegetarians. Rich and Kate have shown an unmatched ability to coax spectacularly satisfying flavors from vegetables.

The dishes we selected are from the forthcoming Vedge: The Cookbook, adapted specifically for the New Orleans Arena and the New Orleans Pelicans by Centerplate’s own, Chef Lenny Martinsen. We invite you to try these new dishes. Your view of vegan food may never be the same. Enjoy!

Vegan with



Full Board – 38Mixed olives with fresh & dried chilies, “peel & eat” lupini beans with peri peri, and pickled radish with mustard seeds

An appetizer spread of “picking” foods. Mixed olives have a spike of chili, the lupini beans are deep marinated with peri peri hot sauce giving them an almost “Buffalo” type flavor and the radishes have a crunch and zip from wine vinegar and whole mustard seeds

The Dirt List – 60Roasted young carrots, roasted cauliflower, and grilled broccolini

A board of very fresh market vegetables simply roasted and finished with extra virgin olive oil, sherry vinegar and fresh herbs, served cold

Salt Roasted Golden Beets – 54Gold beets, smoked tofu, avocado, capers, and red onion with bagel chips

A vegan take on lox and bagel using fresh roasted beets with classic condiments

Portobella Carpaccio – 62Horseradish “crema,” cornichons, and pickled cabbage with rye toast

A smoked and thinly sliced portabella dusted with fresh cracked pepper mimics pastrami that is paired with “Reuben” flavors

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies – 32 A classic crunchy version full of chips, it blows away any you have had before


We’ve asked Tracy Obolsky to help us step up our dessert game this year. Tracy is the Pastry Chef at Dave Pasternak’s Esca in New York. She’s also a sports fan with very particular ideas about the kind and quality of desserts that you and your guests should be able to get here at The New Orleans Arena. They should be inventive new takes on classic favorites. They should be sporty and easy. And best of all they should be delicious and fun!

Tracy developed these four new recipes exclusively for Centerplate. They are handmade fresh on game and event days by Chef Lenny Martinsen and his team here at The New Orleans Arena. Each platter of artisan desserts is generously sized to serve approximately 12 guests. Give them a try! These are not your typical desserts, and your guests will be pleasantly surprised.

Tracy Obolsky joined Esca as Pastry Chef in 2009 at age 26. She brings a youthful sense of creativity to every new award-winning dessert she designs. Most recently she was a finalist for Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Pastry Chef of 2013 award.

At Centerplate we are always looking for emerging trends in restaurants and the food world that we can be the first to translate into sports settings. The craft cocktail movement is one such trend that we are excited to offer to our suite clients. There’s a national movement to drink higher quality beverages that are thoughtfully prepared with the finest ingredients, and we think the trend is perfect for suite entertaining.

We worked with Graham Case, the Owner and Mixologist at Case Cocktail Consulting, LLC, to develop these special new artisan cocktail choices for your suite. Some are inspired by nostalgia and rediscovery, and some are pure delicious innovation, but all are terrific options for your guests who are asking more of their beverages, just as they are of their food. Graham has developed his craft in multiple establishments ranging from your local tavern to world renowned resorts for the past 8 years. His creations have been described as both subtle and astonishing. All our Craft Cocktails serve approximately 12 guests. They are delivered in fresh-made batches ready to be finished and garnished by you or your suite attendant. Graham’s recipes are provided below, and by all means do try this at home as well as here at the New Orleans Arena.

TimingWe want you and your guests to be absolutely delighted with your experience at New Orleans Arena. We strive to make every detail as smooth and easy for you as possible.

As you can imagine, it takes a little time to prepare for a party of 18,000 guests! So please place the order for your suite by 5pm, four (4) business days prior to each game. This gives us the time we need to take good care of you.

If you miss the advance order deadline, don’t worry! We also offer a smaller “Game Day” menu of freshly prepared items.

The “Game Day” Menu is always available until the beginning of the 3rd quarter on game day. Last call for beverages from the game day menu is the ending of the 3rd quarter.

Please notify us as soon as possible of any cancellations. Orders cancelled by 5pm, two (2) business days prior to your game will not be charged.
