Taste of Texas: Torchy’s, Woodshed among local staples at NFL Draft Experience

The elevator pitch on the cuisine: Think lots of tacos and barbecue.

The NFL Draft won’t be subtle about the fact that it’s coming to Texas for the first time – at least not in the food menu at the NFL Draft Experience.

A smorgasbord of Texas fare will be available at the three-day event outside AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Nearly two-dozen food stands will line the more than 30-acre festival grounds.

The elevator pitch on the cuisine: Think lots of tacos and barbecue.

Dallas taquerias Desperados and El Tacaso will be joined by Fort Worth food truck Rollin’ Stone and Austin-based Torchy’s Tacos.

Local favorites Walt Garrison BBQ and Off The Bone will headline the barbecue menu, along with Fort Worth chef Tim Love’s Woodshed Smokehouse.

Legends Hospitality, the company behind the craft foods at AT&T Stadium, will put their hand in the taco and barbecue rings, as well.

Other items on the list range from hot dogs to Thai food to coffee and paninis. And, naturally, lots of fried food.

The NFL Draft is being held at AT&T Stadium – the first time a draft has been held at a pro stadium – April 26-28.

Check out the full list of foods, courtesy of the NFL Draft Experience:
