Cast your vote for the best food at San Francisco’s Chase Center

Stretchy pants and the walk back to the ferry will not make this food mission any easier. But we are Dub Nation. Stuffing our faces in the name of team spirit is what we do.

And the food at San Francisco’s Chase Center is not your average arena grub. After announcing upgrades to its food and beverage program back in October, the home of the Golden State Warriors today launches a bracket-style competition for fans to determine the arena’s signature menu item, or what they’re calling Most Valuable Plate.

Chase Center management nibbled its own way through the arena to select the eight contenders, drawing from across all the vendor talent. Here are the matchups, along with the dates to vote via Chase Center’s Twitter and Instagram:

• Wings & Woks Adobo Wings vs. Modelo Carne Asada Nachos (through today)

• Tin Pot Creamery Chicken and Waffle Cone vs. Tin Pot Creamery Ice Cream Panini (Monday-Jan. 2)

• Tin Pot Creamery Cookie Dubster Milkshake vs. Modelo Cinnamon Sugar Churros (Jan. 3-17)

• Wings & Woks Sweet Crispy Tofu Wok vs. Sadie’s Vegan Reuben Sandwich (Jan. 18-30)

Yes, there are only four restaurants in the competition (all available on the main or upper concourse). But the dishes they’ve created, especially the desserts, are truly unique, and will leave you with aching teeth in the longest food coma of your life.

Tin Pot Creamery shouldn’t be allowed to craft such sin. Its chicken and buttermilk bubble waffle cone is stuffed with orange maple-glazed chicken nuggets topped with maple whipped cream.

The architectural milkshake — topped with brownie-crumbled cheesecake and rimmed with blue and yellow sprinkles — will be the most Instragrammed photo from the arena (sorry, Steph).

And that ice cream panini? Another work of engineering: The caramel corn ice cream is pressed between two glazed doughnuts — and it never oozes out.

Your waistline is not the only beneficiary of this competition. At the end of the season, a portion of sales of the winning item will be donated to Bayview Makers Kitchen, a nonprofit that provides a space for local food makers to produce and sell their products.
