The Stanley Cup Finals will celebrate St. Louis’ culinary community inside the city’s Enterprise Center arena, with limited-edition dishes from its culinary team and a roster of local favorite restaurants offered under the STL Kitchen banner. The event to determine the championship of the National Hockey League pits the St. Louis Blues against the Boston Bruins in a best-of-seven series.

STL Kitchen launched in 2016 to bring more collective focus to local restaurants and ingredients across the arena, and Enterprise Center renovations last offseason extended STL Kitchen’s presence under the direction of the arena’s executive chef, Steven Maak.

Now, to celebrate the return of the Stanley Cup Finals, the STL Kitchen menu has further expanded with new Cup-inspired fare, tantalizing Championship sips and new signature dishes from local restaurants into which fans can dig both during both home games and Road Watch events.

Here are some menu highlights.
