When Bryan Caswell was voted out of the running for the Food Network’s The Next Iron Chef, it was far from the end of his career. The Southern native went on to open his own restaurant, REEF, in Houston and join Continental Airlines’ team of chefs, who devise in-flight menus. But most importantly for Houston Astros fans, he also took on two new projects at their home field that greatly elevated its culinary scene. These concessions stands have left their mark on Minute Maid Park:
- Little Bigs. Tucked amid the other concessions outside of Section 109, this new spot may look modest, but it serves Caswell’s take on ballpark classics. The menu includes handcrafted burgers, pork sliders, and potato chips.
- El Real. Another concession stand, El Real sits outside of Section 132 but offers more classically Texan cuisine—Tex-Mex, to be exact. Here, you can order fajitas stuffed with chicken or steak and a side of nachos.
