What’s on the menu at Cowboys vs Chiefs Thanksgiving game?
Heading to AT&T Stadium for Thanksgiving? Here’s the Turkey Day feast you can expect as the Dallas Cowboys take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Dallas Cowboys host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day, and for those lucky enough to be there in person, they’ll be treated to not only good football, but also an incredible spread of food. At AT&T Stadium, Thanksgiving means game‑day football and a full‑on holiday feast. For the 2025 showdown (3:30 p.m. CT kickoff), the concessions team has rolled out fresh takes on classic comfort foods, tailored for the stadium experience.
Cowboys vs Chiefs: Your guide to the holiday eats at the game
The Cowboys hold the league’s most‑consistent holiday hosting streak, and the stadium’s catering team brings the flavor each year. From 13,000+ pounds of turkey and thousands of gallons of cranberry sauce to inventive takes on sides and main courses, the AT&T Stadium spread has become a pilgrimage for fans who treat their game‑day meal as part of the experience.
What’s new (and what’s back) on the menu
This year’s lineup includes a standout item: the new “Thanksgiving Pie”, a portable hand‑pie version of turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce and gravy all wrapped inside a butter‑crust shell.
Other returning favorites:
- The Thanksgiving Bowl: heaping portions of turkey and sides served in a bowl format
- The Thanksgiving Sandwich: holiday ingredients stacked between fresh bread
- The Holiday‑Stuffed Egg Roll: an egg roll shell wrapped around turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce
These items reflect the stadium’s goal to make classics that are portable, walk‑around friendly, and still full of holiday flavor.
Behind the scenes: How they pull it off
According to Executive Chef & Culinary Director Marcelo Vasquez, the turnaround for the game is intense.
“We start cleaning, shaping, everything again all over,” Vasquez said. So we’ve got a window of three days to put all the things together. We start Saturday to process. We stop and we continue Monday after the game.”
Preparing food at this scale for a single holiday game is massive. Thousands of pounds of turkey, stuffing, sides and desserts all have to be ready for tens of thousands of fans in just hours.
If you’re heading to Dallas for the game, the food becomes part of the memory. Tailgating, walking the concourse, catching the halftime show (featuring Post Malone, by the way), the menu is part of the spectacle.
Whether you’re digging into the new Thanksgiving Pie or grabbing the traditional sandwich, you’ll be fueling a serious football‑holiday experience.
