Where must you…eat in an NHL metropolis?

On Wednesday, former San Jose Sharks beat author Corey Masisak launched his NHL food guide for the Colorado Avalanche’s 2025-26 schedule.

I’ve ate with Corey through the years, and he is aware of his eating places. I’d wish to suppose that he’d say the identical about me!

Whenever I journey, the very first thing I do after I get to my lodge or AirBNB is hearth up the Yelp app to see the Most Reviewed eating places within the space.

So right here’s my meals information for the San Jose Sharks’ 2025-26 schedule!

San Jose

Let’s begin at house!

Hat tip to Corey, he’s the one who turned me on to Rosario’s Tacos on Almaden. It’s my favourite Mexican meals in San Jose, which is not any small assertion, as a result of like many Angelenos, I take my Mexican critically.

As Corey mentioned, the quesabirria tacos are glorious, however I wish to go off the menu with a surf-n-turf burrito, which is a quesabirria and quesacamaron burrito.

There’s tons of nice meals in San Jose: A couple of extra standouts embody the goat cutlet and sambusa at Somalian restaurant Jubba, the carne asada torta and flan at Mexico Bakery, and the bun bo he at Vietnamese restaurant Bún Bò Huế An Nam.

Salt Lake City (Oct. 17)

I’ve solely been in Utah for one San Jose Sharks sport, so what I can inform you is extra what I wasn’t impressed by.

Mexican restaurant Red Iguana is essentially the most Yelp-reviewed restaurant in SLC. I’ll say, of their protection, that mole is their trademark, and that’s not one thing that I’d often order.

But when in Rome…

I had the Mole Coloradito, and didn’t actually like several of it. But strive it, let me know! It may very well be me, mole is usually extra refined, I like bolder flavors. For instance, I want pho and beef noodle soup to ramen.

New York/New Jersey (Oct. 21-24)

I lived in New York City for 5 years, so I can rattle off an hour of eating places that I cherished there (and an hour of eating places which have closed since I lived there).

But my musts after I return?

I used to reside in East Village, so I at all times return there to Italian restaurant Supper for his or her spaghetti al limone. It’s a uncommon vegetarian dish on this listing, I’m undoubtedly a carnivore-first, that’s how good it’s. Next, I’ve to have a slice of cheesecake from Ukrainian restaurant Veselka.

I additionally attempt to get out to Katz’s Delicatessen in Lower Eastside for pastrami on rye. Yup, it’s a touristy spot, but it surely’s nonetheless the perfect pastrami round for my cash.

If I’ve a midnight craving in Manhattan, I get lamb and rooster over rice with white sauce and a smattering of scorching sauce (it’s spicy!) from one of many many halal carts dotted across the island. Halal Guys is the well-known lamb and rooster spot, they franchised everywhere in the nation, however I’ve had it on the unique truck on 53rd and sixth, and I don’t suppose they’re notably exceptional.

On Long Island, go to Peter Luger in Great Neck (it’s additionally in Williamsburg) for the steak for 2 and the scorching bacon. I’m really not an enormous bacon fan, however I can say that is the perfect bacon I’ve ever had in my life.

In Newark, the paella valenciana at Fornos of Spain is terrific.

St. Paul (Oct. 26)

This is the one NHL metropolis that I haven’t traveled to but…that’ll change this yr!

Corey will inform you, he went there to get us lunch final yr, on my suggestion.

Everything I’ve ordered right here has been glorious, from savory (beef curry pastry, ham and egg sandwich) to candy (peach pastry, dawn bun, fruit sandwich).

Las Vegas (Nov. 29)

I’m not into (learn can’t afford) positive eating on a regular basis, which Vegas is rightly recognized for.

But there’s loads of improbable meals in addition to that.

Some of my favorites within the season that I lived there?

I nonetheless have love for the steak sandwich (not a lot the common steak) at steakhouse Echo & Rig. The souvlaki combo at Yassou Greek Grill Café was a go-to. Everything is sweet at Roma Deli & Restaurant, however my common order was the meatball and marinara sandwich. Drunk or sober, Tacos El Gordo on the Strip at all times hits the spot.

Dallas (Dec. 5)

Get the carne asada plate at Meso Maya Comida y Copas. Or the sugar burger at Rodeo Goat!

Raleigh (Dec. 7)

Still searching for a go-to Raleigh restaurant…I did order the Carolina ribs and chopped BBQ Brunswick stew from the Pit, it was good, however I don’t miss it.

Philadelphia (Dec. 9)

I wouldn’t extremely advocate both, however I want Geno’s over Pat’s for my cheesesteak.

John’s Roast Pork is a multitude of a sandwich, but it surely’s tasty!

Toronto (Dec. 11)

Get the five-spice pork stomach sandwich at Banh Mi Boys!

Primanti Bros. was good, however I want a suggestion from Dan Rusanowsky, S&D Polish Deli.

Vancouver (Dec. 27)

One of the perfect meals cities within the NHL, I just like the yaki pan-fried udon at Kitanoya Guu with Garlic and beef luc lac on rice at Phnom Penh Restaurant.

After a San Jose Sharks-Anaheim Ducks sport at Honda Center, there’s probability that you simply’ll discover me at Slurpin’ Ramen, taking down some tsukemen with egg and further chashu.

Los Angeles (Jan. 7)

I grew up within the LA space, so I can discuss meals right here for hours.

The greatest burrito that I’ve had in America is the chile relleno with carne asada burrito at La Azteca Tortillera.

Go to Armenian spot Mini-Kabob and get the rooster thigh plate.

The Chinese/Taiwanese meals in Los Angeles rivals China and Taiwan: If I needed to decide one dish, it’d be the House Special Lobster over double noodle from Boston Lobster.

Washington D.C. (Jan. 15)

I wasn’t a fan of Ethiopian meals, however I is likely to be after the meat tibs at Chercher Ethiopian Restaurant & Mart.

Detroit (Jan. 16)

I really like BBQ, a theme that I’m certain that you simply’ve observed right here.

I’ve had the pulled pork, rooster, and brisket from the extremely popular Slows BBQ, however wasn’t floored.

I would like to seek out a terrific Detroit-style pizza in Detroit.

Fort Lauderdale (Jan. 19)

I really like the Cubano sandwich at Little Cuban Café Restaurant near the airport.

Okay, I’ve a weak spot for Cubanos.

Get it at La Segunda Bakery & Café and add some plain cheese quesitos to your order for one thing candy.

Edmonton (Jan. 29)

Another Rusanowsky suggestion: I loved the wiener schnitzel at Bistro Praha.

I’ve been to my share of acclaimed Chicago eating places, Au Cheval, Pequod’s Pizza, Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria, Portillo’s Hot Dogs, Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse, and Giordano’s…and I don’t know if I’ve a go-to. Don’t fear, I’ll preserve consuming.

If I needed to decide one? Maybe Pequod’s deep-dish pizza, although that’s not my favourite type of pizza.

Buffalo (Mar. 10)

I’ve been on a beef on weck bender, I’ve had that mainly on a regular basis the final two combines.

Go to Gabriel’s Gate (the wings are nice too), Charlie the Butcher, or Wellington Pub (thanks for the advice, Rachel Lenzi!).

Boston (Mar. 12)

Get the lobster roll at Neptune Oyster!

Montreal (Mar. 14)

I’m not going off the board right here, however the smoked meat sandwich at Schwartz’s Deli and the sesame bagel at St-Viateur Bagel are nearly as good, if not higher, than something you get in NYC.

Ottawa (Mar. 15)

Kanata — not downtown Ottawa — is the worst NHL meals space within the league.

The downtown enviornment can’t come quickly sufficient!

BeaverTails are first rate although.

Nashville (Mar. 24)

It’s now the preferred on the town, however I cherished Hattie B’s scorching rooster sandwich after they had only one location. Tons of nice BBQ on the town, the pulled pork from Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint is likely to be my favourite.
