A NEW JERSEY ICON JOINS THE DEVILS GAME DAY MENU
Among the most celebrated additions this season is Rutt’s Hut, a Garden State icon for 98 years located in Clifton and home of the legendary “Ripper” deep-fried hot dog. Eastback Kitchen will welcome the New Jersey icon at their brand-new stand by Section 15, serving the classic “Ripper” and onion rings.
“Rutt’s Hut is extremely excited for this opportunity to bring the real Ripper to the Rock,” said Team Rutt’s Hut. “We have always wanted to branch out and expand our brand, and this is absolutely the best-case scenario for Rutt’s Hut. We found the perfect partnership with the New Jersey Devils and Levy. The original Ripper and only sports franchise in New Jersey was a perfect match!”
ELEVATED SIGNATURE OFFERINGS INSPIRED BY FAN FEEDBACK
In the spirit of local culinary flair, fan-favorite Melba Wilson will introduce a new Veggie Soul Roll outside Section 107, made with greens, peas, rice, cheddar cheese, and chili sauce. The new offering builds on Wilson’s signature Soul Roll and comes as she celebrates a newly renewed three-year partnership with the New Jersey Devils and Prudential Center. Wilson is also expanding the Melba’s brand in Newark with the upcoming opening of Melba’s Newark at 550 Broad Street, a 60-seat restaurant bringing her celebrated Southern comfort food and modern soul food to downtown Newark later this fall.
