Claws Up for Soldier Field’s New Culinary Experience

Levy Restaurants debuted their brand new food and beverage items that they’ll feature at Soldier Field this season.

Earlier today, the Chicago Bears and Levy Restaurants, the Bears and Chicago Park District’s hospitality partner, previewed their new food and beverage items, which fans will experience this season at Bears home games.

It’s a monstrous menu of brand-new 2024 Bears-inspired and elevated culinary creations.

“We’re Chicago to our core, so this is genuinely a dream come true,” said Andy Lansing, the CEO of Levy. “The city is buzzing with excitement for this new era of Bears football, and we’re so proud to be a part of it. Together, we’ll celebrate the great traditions, and toast to new memories.”

Rookie wideout Rome Odunze was featured in a marketing campaign to promote Levy’s Soldier Field partnership earlier this week, but Levy went further than a commercial when they debuted the Odunze Dog today.

The Odunze Dog: Crafted in collaboration with Rome Odunze, think of it as the rookie wideout’s culinary introduction to the Windy City, inspired by an “Italian Combo.” Sink your teeth into this charred jalapeño-cheddar dog on a bed of juicy Italian Beef, topped with hot giardiniera, cheddar cheese crumbles and a drizzle of Levy’s secret sauce in a French roll. Available at concession stand in section 134.

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has taken the Bear Claw to new heights, so Levy took inspiration from it for a few tasty treats.

Bear Claw Pretzel: The real ones know, it’s the season of the bear claw. To celebrate on game days, Levy crafted a custom bear claw-shaped pretzel, served with homemade beer cheese, whole grain mustard and cinnamon cream cheese icing. Available at the United Club South Market and in suites.

Savory vittles are one thing, but Levy made sure to get something for your sweet tooth, too.

Bear Paw Donuts & Cookies: A sweeter take on the bear claw, fans can enjoy bear paw shaped donuts and cookies topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and crushed toffee. Available at the United Club Bistro and Miller Lite Midway.

Here’s more from the Levy press release about what they have in store for fans at Soldier Field this Bears’ season.
