We stepped up to the plate for the Capital One Café in Rittenhouse for a MLB All-Star Reception, creating a one-of-a-kind culinary experience that was just as fun as the festivities.

Our Executive Chef knocked it out of the park with custom-designed hors d'oeuvre displays... from a baseball bat serving our Cheez-It bites, Crab Ci**rs served in ashtrays with old bay ember & chive ash for that realistic look, to a home plate featuring our Hot Honey Chicken. Guests also enjoyed our Bases Loaded Nachos served in mini helmets, the Bullpen Grill featuring the Golden Glizzy, the Seafood Shack serving fresh lobster rolls, and cooled off with our Diamond Freeze Cart, serving nitro-spun water ice.

Beyond the menu, guests met Philadelphia Phillies legends, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins, customized Capital One tote bags, and captured memories in the photo booth. ⚾ 💙
