When it comes to the NFL, the league seems to level up each season. The same applies to foods debuting at league stadiums.

Arguably the best from any team is a crab stuffed pretzel sold at Northwest Stadium, home of the Washington Commanders. The crab-shaped pretzel is filled with lemon tarragon crab dip topped with garlic butter and grated parmesan cheese created by Levy Restaurants.

Here's a look at some of the top new foods at NFL stadiums this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Black N' Gold Chicken and Waffle

The iconic colors of the Steelers are represented in a classic Southern meal that includes fried chicken, coleslaw, bacon jam, sweet potato fries and hot honey.

Philadelphia Eagles: Tush Push Taters

Philadelphia fans have seen their share of success with the tush push in recent years. Now, the play has a meal named after it. The item consists of a deep-fried potato with a fried chicken cutlet, mac and cheese, bacon hot honey jam, scallions and 215 sauce.

Eagles: Broad Street Beast

Now available at Lincoln Financial Field is an 18-inch chalupa shell that includes wagyu beef shank, fried jalapeno poppers, tomatillo avocado salsa, Oaxaca queso, shallots and cilantro.

Cincinnati Bengals: Who Dey Sausage

The Bengals' "Who Dey" chant is the namesake for a 24-inch BBQ cheddar pork sausage served on a bun with pickled red onions, jalapeno and BBQ sauce.

Carolina Panthers: The Big 'Dilla

The two-foot smoked adobo chicken quesadilla includes a cheddar and jack cheese seared tortilla plus cilantro, pico de gallo and chipotle crema.

Denver Broncos: Beast in a Blanket

Denver's take on a two-foot item is a hot dog with brisket burnt ends, cheddar and goat cheese wrapped in a puff pastry. It's topped with secret sauce, avocado cream, pickled onions and jalapeno.

Houston Texans: Battle Red Berry Bird

Houston rocks battle red uniforms, therefore, it's only right that a concession item named after the threads is created. Fried chicken breast is tossed in a strawberry buffalo sauce and topped with coleslaw, pickles and Cajun cheese curds on a challah bun.
