"They are spicy, they are sour, they are savory, they are a little salty, crunchy...everything you can get in one bite," described Feliciano. 

Other chefs part of the experience are Chef Suzanne Lara of LARA, who is whipping up a Picadillo TarTar on a Cuban Bread Crostini, and Chef Rob Reinsmith of Wild Child. 

"So, for this dish, it's based off of one we do call the Korean fried chicken sandwich, but for the game I wanted to make it a little more tailgatey, kind of have that BBQ vibe, so we are going to have Korean BBQ grilled chicken sandwich," explained Reinsmith.
