From the Nationals:
“This season, fans visiting Nationals Park will have even more local flavors to enjoy, as 11 new restaurants and local suppliers will be featured at the ballpark after competing in the ‘Pitch Your Product’ showcase this offseason. The culinary competition, which was relaunched for the second time in Club history in October, gave local restaurateurs and food and beverage suppliers from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia the opportunity to grow their businesses by selling their unique menu items and products at Nationals Park beginning this season. In total, Nationals Park features concessions offerings from more than 30 local businesses, including food, bakery, beer and spirits.
Twenty-three local businesses participated in the Shark Tank-style competition this past offseason, presenting their food and beverage concepts to a panel of judges comprised of Nationals front office staff, Levy and other special guests. The showcase was designed find new and delicious local options to add to the menu offerings, as well as a way to help highlight local entrepreneurs and their businesses.”
