Caps Game Food

Living in DC, I'm a HUGE Capitals hockey fan... our only winning team, etc. In case you're wondering, the Caps won!!! 5-3 versus the Philadelphia Flyers! TAKE THAT!!! Ok, calming down now, and going to the real topic- the food at the Verizon Center.
  1. It's way overpriced.
  2. It's basically all fast food- Papa Johns, BBQ...
  3. The ice cream SUCKS. Why would you WANT to eat Dippin' Dots?
  4. The beer is supposedly really bad (No, I don't drink, but my parents are beer snobs and they hate Bud, so... passing on the opinion). 
However, if you are looking for something to chow down on while watching an extremely good hockey team do their thing, you probably can't go wrong. There's something about greasy, crunchy, yummy food that's perfect for sports. It's like eating a hot dog at a baseball game- how can you not?

My personal favorite is the chicken fingers and fries with honey mustard. It's classic, it's not too fried, and there's honey mustard. What more could you want? After all, you need sustenance to scream down the few Flyers fans and of course yell hysterically when the Caps score.

For afters, if you haven't already partaken in the overpriced soft-serve or the horrible Dippin' Dots (do you really want to eat freeze dried ice cream?), there's a Hagen Daas right next to the Verizon center. It makes an even sweeter end to an already sweet victory.

  1. Hey DC Teen Foodie,

    Since your seats are way down low, I think you can go to the club level between periods. If not this year, then next year. They have a decent brisket sandwich up there.
