Delaware North’s culinary team at Highmark Stadium debuted two new specialty sandwiches for Sunday’s Buffalo Bills game against the Kansas City Chiefs – “The Thurmanator” and “The Gunner”– honoring Bills legends Thurman Thomas and Steve Tasker. Last week, Executive Chef Zach Skinner surprised the duo live on MSG’s “One Bills Live,” delivering the creations in person. The Gunner was named for Tasker, one of the NFL’s all-time greats on special teams. It features Greek-marinated chicken breast, diced tomato, onion, banana peppers and feta cheese on a hoagie roll. The Thurmanator – created in honor of Thomas, a Hall of Fame running back and NFL MVP in 1991 – features crispy bacon, BBQ sauce, jalapeno relish and onion rings stacked on a Martin’s potato roll.
