The2025 Super Bowlattendees can expect a great game and even better food.

The hospitality company partnered with the Caesars Superdome to create a sprawling menu featuring Louisiana favorites mixed with game-day classics. Specialty items include three different po’ boys (NOLA’s signature seafood sandwich), alligator sausage on French bread, a lobster karaage sandwich and a vegetarian twist on Vietnamese bánh mì.

Jambalaya and Cajun beef brisket sandwiches will also be available alongside stadium staples like hot dogs, pretzels, nachos and more.

“We want to bring to life the city, but also need to remember it’s a football game,” Sodexo Live!’s national executive chef Carmen Callo tells PEOPLE of crafting the menu. “It’s about marrying the cajun, the creole, the French, the southern… a global melting pot that makes New Orleans so special.”

Callo calls out the surf n’ turf po' boy as a star dish. It consists of five colossal gulf shrimp and nine-hour smoked short rib (a nod to the 59th edition of the Super Bowl), as well as mornay and remoulade sauce, lettuce and tomato on bread from the local Leidenheimer Baking Co.

In preparation for 62,000 fans attending the Feb. 9 game, Callo and his Sodexo Live! team have ordered thousands of ingredients, with roughly 40% coming from NOLA suppliers. Think 5,000 alligator sausages, 6,500 lbs. of shrimp, 12,000 oysters and over 50,000 Leidenheimer baguettes.

Attendees can pair their meals with a wide selection of cocktails. The crown jewel of the beverage menu is a loaded spicy bloody mary, garnished with olives, pepperoncini, spicy green beans, celery, cheese, bacon and spicy okra. For a more minimalistic drink with just as much of a kick, the Black Magic contains lime juice, jalapeño syrup and mango purée with a dehydrated lime wheel and black magic cajun seasoning.

The famously expensive Super Bowl suites — which can reportedly cost up to $2 million — have even more offerings. There will be sushi and sandwich platters, seafood towers and luxurious tomahawk steaks with the Super Bowl LIX logo branded onto the bone. Callo notes that the beef will “make for a great photo op and delicious meal!”

Sodexo Live! held multiple tastings internally and with the NFL “to ensure that at every tier of service, there is a fun, authentically New Orleans menu offering that meets the moment for the fans,” says Callo. “This is what we do best: help put on a show for the world stage.”
