01:08In this video, I'm going to be eating the USA's most expensive stadium food.
01:18Today we're going to a National Football League game here in Minnesota.
01:22Let's go, Bikes!
01:24At the iconic U.S. Bank Stadium.
01:27I have spent over $1,500 on a special premium ticket.
01:32Now, this ticket gives me access to the Delta Lounge.
01:38That means all the food is free.
01:41Well, I mean, except for I did pay over $1,000.
01:43But it's basically free.
01:46Soon, you're going to see what you get at a Vikings game for over $1,500.
01:49But first, there's a lot of action happening outside.
01:53This is a little pre-game sport called tailgating.
01:55People who don't want to pay astronomical prices inside start the fun and drinking outside.
02:00So before going in, I'm going to mingle with the local folk and see if I can scrounge up
02:04some food from the tailgaters.
02:05Let's move.
02:08So here's my plan.
02:09I'm going to walk around in the tailgating area until someone recognizes me and then offers
02:14me food. It's not going to work.
02:15All right, right now I'm with Anthony.
02:17Anthony, I see your grill right here.
02:18You've got some serious grilling going on here.
02:20In here, we have some mushrooms, onions, some butter, some garlic.
02:24The game starts in an hour and a half.
02:25Are you going to have time to eat all this?
02:27We've got a whole group with us, so it will be done pretty quickly.
02:31What's the move inside?
02:32Do you get more food?
02:33Like, keep piling on?
02:34No.
02:35No.
02:35This is enough.
02:36I've got to say, I'm really impressed with the food game of the people here because
02:40it is not just picnic food.
02:41Somebody brought a whole frigging meat tower right here at the Vikings game.
02:44Oh, I've been offered a sample.
02:46No, not yet.
02:47Not yet.
02:48It's a little medium rare.
02:49I usually like my chicken medium.
02:51We want you to leave it healthy and not in a stretcher.
02:54Exactly.
02:54Let's go, bikes!
02:56Woo!
02:57Let's go, bikes.
03:00Right behind me, another food.
03:01It looks like someone is making berry pancakes.
03:03And then there's a taco bar, too.
03:05Lots of variety.
03:06Nobody help!
03:08Okay, so nobody offered me food, and I'm too shy to ask anyone for food.
03:11So we're just going to go inside and find food there.
03:13Food that you can actually properly pay for.
03:15Let's just do it that way.
03:16So right there is the stadium, and right here is meat, and right there is food.
03:19Here, I can definitely get food, but I've got to wait for it.
03:22Also, I have to pay.
03:23Here's what's going to be interesting about today.
03:25I don't exactly have permission.
03:26I'm not sure if they'll let me bring in my microphone.
03:29I'm not sure if people are going to get mad in the Delta Lounge when I start hosting a show.
03:32Let's find out.
03:33There's only three foods here.
03:34They have a barbecue sandwich, they have breakfast pizza, and then candy.
03:38The prices are crazy.
03:39They show the calories.
03:40The sandwich, over 700 calories.
03:42That's wild.
03:42I think I'm going to go with the sandwich, and maybe a morning drink, too.
03:46We finally have our first meal.
03:48It's almost noon, so why not have a little alcohol for breakfast?
03:52And then here, the barbecue sandwich.
03:54I'm seeing onions, some cabbage, and then some beef on there, too.
03:57That is $14.
03:59700 calories.
04:00It's always depressing when, you know, you're eating your comfort food, and then they tell you the calories.
04:04It's just like, hey, hey, I don't want to know.
04:07I want to get fat quietly without knowing it.
04:10Let's try it out.
04:13Mmm.
04:15I watch you almost every day.
04:17Whoa, thank you.
04:17Appreciate it.
04:18We're making one now.
04:19You can watch this later.
04:20I was just doing the yummy face, and then someone interrupted me, which is kind, because they said they liked the show.
04:24So I'm going to have to redo that bite.
04:25I need to re-experience this sandwich.
04:27They say you can't do a first impression twice.
04:29I disagree.
04:32Mmm.
04:32Mmm.
04:32Nice toasty bread.
04:34Tons of sweet barbecue.
04:35Juicy meat.
04:36And just enough vegetables so you don't feel like you're going to die from all the protein and carbohydrates.
04:42For me, I can get down with the crazy prices if they're willing to make something that's kind of premium, that's big, that's good, that has a lot of ingredients and meat.
04:50This is fantastic, and I like it.
04:51And hopefully, this is an omen of more good things to come.
04:55Let's go check it out.
04:55We have just made it into the stadium.
04:59Most people at this point would make their way to their seat, but I am going to make my way to some more food.
05:06Right now, we're waiting in line for Minnesota's famous cheese curds.
05:10Wisconsin, Minnesota, well-known for their dairy production.
05:13But we also know how to fry some good-ass cheese.
05:15Let's try it out.
05:16Right here, for around $22, I've got one beer, and I've got cheese curds.
05:21It used to be that in Minnesota, you could only really get cheese curds during the Minnesota State Fair, a place iconic for their amazing cheese curds.
05:28Now, you see it popping up more in places like this and in restaurants.
05:31It's fried, it's gooey.
05:32You can see where the cheese kind of escaped and burnt a little bit.
05:35Cheers.
05:37Mmm.
05:38Very salty, very cheesy.
05:40It's crunchy on the outside, but soft and gooey in the center.
05:43The place we're just at is smart, because they just have two foods, and all of them are fried.
05:47Chicken tenders and fries, or this.
05:49So they don't even have to wait for your order.
05:51They just keep it frying, keep it frying, keep it frying, and when you come there, you fly out immediately.
05:55They just drop down the cheese curds, and they give you the boot.
05:59Cheese curds, expensive, but delicious.
06:01Let's keep moving.
06:02I want to see if we can get at least one more food.
06:06Happy to.
06:09And we're on to our next food.
06:10Here on the menu, just a few items.
06:12They have the Rusty Taco Trio and Rusty Taco Loaded Nachos.
06:16Tough call.
06:19Nachos, right?
06:23All right, guys, I couldn't decide which one to get, so I got both.
06:26I got nachos and tacos.
06:28Let's start with the tacos.
06:29Very expensive tacos.
06:31It was about $15 for this set.
06:33Ah, it looks like maybe grazed pork, maybe chicken, maybe bean.
06:37The only downside is that the tacos look wet and sloppy.
06:40So, I don't really like a wet taco, but let's try it anyway.
06:46That is a beef steak taco.
06:48It tastes like braised beef.
06:50Very soft.
06:50The taco, I don't want to talk shit about Minnesota, but it's kind of a Minnesota taco.
06:54There's no flavor.
06:55There's no spice.
06:56It's okay.
06:57I think that's chicken.
06:58We got pico de gallo.
06:59It's looking plump.
07:02Better.
07:03Lots of pico de gallo.
07:04Actual spice.
07:05That might be medium salsa.
07:07That's pretty intense for Minnesota.
07:09I like it.
07:09Overall, the chocolates are okay.
07:11I regret them a little bit.
07:12My least favorite thing so far.
07:13Let's move on to the nachos.
07:15The game's about to start.
07:16It is getting raucous in here.
07:18One thing that kind of sucks when you go to a football game is the noise, because most
07:24people want to come here, they want to review the food, they want to go home.
07:27But instead, they're playing a game, they're playing a sport, and they're playing a lot
07:30of music.
07:31It's very loud and noisy.
07:32I don't enjoy it, to be honest.
07:34Well, let's talk about these nachos, something I will enjoy.
07:36They give you three options of meat, chicken, steak, or pork.
07:39This right here is the steak.
07:44I mean, that definitely came off of a cow.
07:46Not a ton of flavor, but it is beef.
07:48I'm going to get a chip.
07:49Salsa, nacho, cheese, actual cheese.
07:53It's cheesy.
07:54It's salsa-y.
07:55It's spicy.
07:56It's nice.
07:57The chips and the nachos and the salsa, very nice.
07:59The beef, it tastes like boiled beef.
08:05Before we go to the lounge, I found one more place.
08:07This place is called Walking Tacos.
08:09It's with Doritos, and then they put stuff inside the Doritos.
08:12I think it's kind of like Mexican Dorito Locos.
08:14Let's see how it works.
08:15All right.
08:16So it starts with an open bag of chips, and then it
08:18gets a little bit of beef.
08:19From here, cheese, fresh lettuce, salsa.
08:22This is a mess.
08:24JalapeƱos, black olives.
08:26Right here, finally, a dollop of sour cream.
08:28Try it out.
08:29I've got my walking tacos right here.
08:33Made by Doritos, nacho cheese flavor.
08:35Let's get some of that beef.
08:36You can feel the heat.
08:37It's making the chips steam up and get a little bit soft.
08:39Big bite.
08:40Let's go for it.
08:43I'm glad I waited to go to the lounge, because this is one of my favorite things so far.
08:47Let's get one more bite.
08:47Here.
08:47I got some meat, sour cream, jalapeno.
08:50I mean, I understand why they give you a fork.
08:52Eventually, you will need it.
08:55Unbelievable.
08:55My favorite part is that Doritos is in on it.
08:58They've made custom Doritos bags that say the walking taco.
09:01Now, small change.
09:01Nachos.
09:02These are nachos.
09:03You meant nachos.
09:03So that is walking tacos.
09:07Now, we're headed to the lounge.
09:09There's free booze.
09:10There's free food.
09:11And see what kind of food they have to offer.
09:12And hey, we might even watch a little bit of the game.
09:14Maybe.
09:14But I'm focused right now on the food.
09:16Let's keep moving.
09:20I just talked to somebody working here.
09:22Everything here is free, except for maybe some specialty alcohols.
09:25But food, beer, all free with your ticket of over $1,500.
09:29Let's check it out.
09:30So let's do a tour of the food court.
09:32It's kind of buffet style.
09:33Starting here, we have some football game classics.
09:35We have brats.
09:35We've got hot dogs.
09:36Plus the accoutrement.
09:38Jalapenos, onions, cheese, bacon.
09:40Whatever you want to put on top of there.
09:41They have classic drinking food.
09:43Chips, peanuts, some popcorn over here.
09:46Just a moment ago, I swear, there was like 17 burgers.
09:49I think they just put them away.
09:50And then this seems like it would be a salad bar.
09:52No.
09:52This is toppings for the burger.
09:54Onion, tomato, lettuce.
09:55They have warm, big, fat pretzels over here with cheese to dip it in.
09:59You can get chicken and waffles.
10:00Chicken strips and waffles.
10:01You can get bone-in wings, all of that right here.
10:04That is the main food.
10:05I'm going to grab a couple items, sit down and try it out.
10:09Folks, we have two different types of chicken and waffles right here.
10:13Amazing.
10:13Make sure you take an Uber here because the booze is free-flowing.
10:16This looks like raspberries.
10:17I'm going to save this one for later and start with this one right here.
10:20This is maple.
10:21Now, our base here is a pre-made Belgian waffle.
10:24On top, a chicken strip.
10:25And then some nice maple syrup.
10:27Let's go for it.
10:27I'm going to try it out.
10:28I'm going to give you my honest opinion.
10:33I like it.
10:34I went through a couple of waves of emotion as I ate it.
10:36The chicken is crunchy and juicy.
10:38The waffle is okay.
10:38You know, they're not making them fresh here.
10:40But the syrup is what brings it all together.
10:41Here, we have some kind of a raspberry concoction.
10:44Some raspberry, some waffle, some chicken.
10:48Oh, yeah.
10:49I might like that more.
10:50I think it's blueberry or blackberry.
10:51I'm not sure.
10:52It's one of the berries.
10:53Super delicious, super sweet.
10:54It tastes like probably what you would imagine.
10:56We're used to having ranch with these chicken tenders, but slap some jelly on your next tender.
11:00You'll enjoy it.
11:03Mmm.
11:03I want to take a moment to appreciate the fact that nobody cares that we're shooting.
11:06We're in here.
11:07We're having fun.
11:08We're making a food show inside the lounge.
11:10And it's all good, baby.
11:14The first quarter is over.
11:16Alas, we're going to go watch the football game.
11:19Row five, seat 18.
11:21Is that way?
11:21Oh, right there.
11:22Okay, we're late, but we made it.
11:24Not a bad seat.
11:32Right now, we're inside the stadium.
11:34We're in our seats.
11:34These are great seats.
11:36The energy is palpable.
11:37People are excited.
11:38They're intoxicated.
11:39They're full of hot dogs.
11:41Right now, the Vikings are winning, which is a good thing.
11:43We're not just here for the food, but we also want a W as well.
11:49All right, folks.
11:50We are in the second half of the game.
11:51The buckineers have just pulled ahead, and it's making me hungry.
11:54So let's get some more food.
11:55I thought I saw all the food, but no, there's more food.
11:57Right here, they have a baked potato station.
12:00You can get a baked potato with cheese, bacon, jalapeno, sour cream.
12:03Here, we have mashed potatoes with kind of a beef stew on top.
12:07That's what I'm going to try.
12:08Oh, there we go.
12:09We got braised beef on top of mashed potatoes.
12:12That looks fantastic.
12:13Hit it with some cilantro.
12:14Perfect.
12:15Ladies and gentlemen, this is our final meal for today, because after this, I cannot fit
12:19any more in my body.
12:20This is something different from everything else.
12:22Actually, that has a name that the gentleman serving it could not even pronounce.
12:26Can I pronounce it?
12:27No.
12:27It's French.
12:28It's like mashed potatoes and beef.
12:30Boil.
12:31Am I close?
12:32Somebody give me a pronunciation guide in the comments, and I'll say it right next time.
12:36Meat and potatoes.
12:37We're at a Vikings game, and this looks like something a Viking would eat.
12:39Let's try it out.
12:44A little coriander on top.
12:46Really delicate mashed potatoes.
12:48Dude, beef.
12:48There's like a beef stock coming off of this.
12:51Not bad.
12:52And the bowl is made out of paper.
12:53That's fantastic.
12:54I'm going to use this bowl to write my next novel.
12:56There's a reason we didn't do the video just in this lounge.
12:58To be honest, the lounge is expensive.
13:01It's convenient.
13:01It's fun.
13:02Does it have the best food?
13:03No.
13:04There's nothing here that's going to blow your socks off.
13:06If I'm being 100% honest, the Delta food is just mass produced from here.
13:09We're going to see how the rest of this game plays out.
13:11If the Buccaneers win, there may be riots.
13:13Let's see what happens.
13:18The game is over.
13:19Everybody's piling out right now.
13:20What an amazing way to start the season with an L.
13:22So everybody who came here to watch a football game, they kind of got an L.
13:26But for those of us who came here to over consume, to overeat, we got a W.
13:30To recap, people here know how to party and how to have a good time.
13:33From the tailgating to the game, it was loud raucous in the stadium.
13:36Delta lounge is fun because it's convenient and you're close to the field.
13:40But the food was okay.
13:41In the end, I got myself a hot dog and a brat for me.
13:44Guys, sometimes I need foods that are just for me.
13:46And that's what that was about.
13:47My favorite food of today, the walking tacos slash nachos.
13:52Fantastic.
13:52Oh, my wife agrees.
13:53It was good.
13:54It's inventive.
13:55It's not, I mean, it's copying Mexico.
13:58But why not?
13:59They invented something cool with Doritos.
14:00So why not bring it back here?
14:02Anyway, so let's talk about how much money I spent today.
14:04First of all, it was this much for the tickets and then this much for all the food.
14:08We spent this much money.
14:09What?
14:10That's a lot.
14:11Guys, thank you so much for watching.
14:12I will see you next time.
14:14Up to...
14:14All right.
14:17I think I'm going to move to Wisconsin and become a packer.
14:20What would I pack, though?
14:21Maybe fudge?
14:22I don't know.
14:22I'll think about it.
