Dos Equis Pavilion Offers VIPs Lobster Mac and Cheese and Steak | Eater Dallas
"Set in the shadow of the Ferris wheel at Fair Park, the Dos Equis Pavilion this summer feels less like a typical concert venue and more like a superstar dining experience: Rock Boxes, open-air suites, and Dream Seats come with celebrity chef–created food that’s a significant upgrade from usual venue fare. The VIP menu was developed by Fort Worth chef Tim Love and Tim Kilcoyne of World Central Kitchen in step with Live Nation’s food and beverage team; Love cited his experience catering VIP and artist areas at festivals like Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo, and said the selected dishes are all sharable, maintain flavor and look appetizing while sitting out, and project luxury. Offerings available to order seamlessly online during the show or in advance include a salmon board, an entire New York prime steak with roast potatoes, romaine heart salad with blue cheese and bacon, lobster mac and cheese, chicken parmesan sliders, birria nachos, sequences (Venezuelan fried cheese wrapped in pastry), braised short rib sandwiches, cheese boards, charcuterie, and a barbecue platter. Mixologist Sean Kenyon created a series of specialty cocktails—served in shakers and available from the most expensive box seats all the way back on the lawn—such as strawberry vodka lemonade, cherry bourbon smash, watermelon chili margarita, smokey desert margarita with prickly pear, mojito, Liquid Death Mango Chainsaw Margarita, espresso martini, and the Garden Party with Hendrick’s gin and cucumber. Concession stands at the venue also include celebrity-chef operations like Art Bird by Art Smith, Trejo’s Tacos by Danny Trejo, Volt Burger by the Voltaggio Brothers, and Woodshed with barbecue by Love, making the overall food options at Dos Equis Pavilion a splurge I think is worth it for food lovers." - Courtney E.
