"Executive Chef Kavanaugh's unique crowd-pleasing items will give Louisville fans one more reason to cheer at the new KFC Yum! Center this year," says Bob Pascal, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Centerplate. "The new dishes are part of Centerplate's commitment to enhancing the overall fan experience and redefining the quality of hospitality in sports."

Featured menu items include:

    --  Ale-8-One Beef Burgoo Poutine: a dish of hearty homemade hand-cut
        double-fried French Fries topped with a rich beef burgoo and fresh
        cheese curds;

    --  Fried Hot Brown Bites: a fast favorite snack made with Boar's Head
        turkey, local bacon, and Mornay sauce--lightly breaded, fried, and
        served with roast tomato jam;

    --  Fresh Crepes will be available for those in search of a sweet or savory
        change of pace. Made-to-order, fillings include: chicken, spinach,
        mushrooms and cheese; spinach, mushrooms and cheese; chicken, Swiss
        cheese, and ham; bourbon-caramel apple; banana and Nutella; and
        strawberry and Nutella.

    --  For lighter--but no less flavorful--fare, the Centerplate menu also
        offers diners healthy and locally-farmed products, including grilled
        flatbread Chop Chop salads, pitas and wraps.  Fans can create custom
        dishes from local and seasonal "Kentucky-Proud Produce."

The opening comes on the heels of other new Centerplate venue openings and transitions, including the Baltimore Convention Center, Detroit's Cobo Convention Center, the new Lake County Stadium in Zion, Illinois and the Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
