The newly formed "Colorado Culinary Council," whose members include Chef Troy Guard, Chef Lon Symensma and Chef Elise Wiggins, helped create the new dishes.
The Broncos also unveiled other stadium improvements, including self-ordering kiosks, iPad points of sale and beer vending enhancements that several vendors will have on-hand to "make beer-buying easier for cashless fans."
A full lineup of new menu items from the Broncos news release is below:
BBQ Thunder Dog ($12) - Legends Grills, Alpine Grill, Club Level Barbeque: The Thunder Dog is a footlong hot dog piled high with tender and smoky chopped brisket, triple hot cheese sauce, fried onions and a drizzling of sweet BBQ Sauce.
