By Will Carafello

ESPN Sports Business Reporter, Darren Rovell was right when he tweeted, “Mets will continue to have best food in MLB. Adding Rao’s & Chef Josh Capon.” Rao’s and Capon will join a stellar lineup of baseballcuisine at Citi Field including Blue Smoke, Pat LaFreieda, Mama’s of Corona, Shake Shack, and more.









Pressed by Chef Josh Capon brings gourmet grilledcheese sandwiches to Citi Field. Capon is an executive chef and partner forrenowned New York City restaurants, Lure Fishbar, B&B Winepub, and El ToroBlanco. You might also recognize him from his frequent TV appearances.

Pressed will feature a slow braised black Angus shortrib grilled cheese which will have taleggio cheese, fresh arugula, onion jamserved on a challah brioche.

If you are looking for a veggie option, enjoy the marinated spring vegetable grilled cheese which is topped with fresh mozzarella, grilled zucchini, roasted tomato, and aged balsamic on an artisan baguette.

“I am really excited to bring some more dining options to Citi Field which is already known as one of the best ballparks in the country for its culinary fare.” said Capon, a life-long Mets fan.

Pressed will also feature a Muffuletta. Capon shared the inspiration for his Muffuletta, which he says “is similar to an Italian Hero with a little New Orleans flare.” He says it was inspired by a sandwich his family used to bring to Shea Stadium; a Capon family tradition he is happy to share with all Mets fans.
