"Regular season is a lot of burgers, dogs, and nachos. It is what everybody wants when they come to the arena. But, during playoffs, we have a lot of fun," said Adam Holt, executive chef for Legends Hospitality.
Holt and a team of chefs and cooks who work throughout the arena have developed a new, wide-reaching menu that is now being served at Nuggets' home games.
"We get to have a little more fun (during the playoffs)," Holt said.
New food options include Korean short rib, lobster mac and cheese, a three-pound nacho box, and even a massive quarter-pound cheeseburger topped with more than six inches of onion rings.

Holt said the number of items being sold at games isn't the only thing that has grown, but so too has the size of many items.
"We are doing a two-pound giant pretzel. So, a family of four, instead of everybody getting their own pretzel, you get one giant pretzel to share," Holt said.
Other food items being added to the arena concessions are crème brulée, lobster bisque, buffalo shrimp wraps, and even peanut butter and jelly fried cheesecake balls.
"You can get a little bit of anything here, it just depends on where your seats are at," Holt said.
The staff created and is now serving dozens of new dishes. However, some are only available for select seating areas and sections.
Depending on what level of the arena you are sitting at, you may have a different menu being served near your seat. Also, some items like the two-pound pretzel will only be made on a first-come-first-serve basis to make sure there is limited or no waste.
"Everybody is excited. The teams are doing well. The teams are in the playoffs. The fans are excited, the guests are excited, we are excited to be here," Holt said. "So, why not elevate the food to go with the experience going on on the court?"

Ex-Nuggets dud Bones Hyland being recruited by overseas team
The Denver Nuggets seemingly thought they might have had something with young guard Bones Hyland. Hyland, who had shown flashes during his time with the Nuggets of being an above-average player, mainly in his rookie season when he averaged 10.1 points and shot 40.3% from the field and 36.6% from 3-point range. However, Hyland hasn't been great in other stops, and given some of the other situations that he's found himself in, with some complaints about what he's doing on the court and in the locker room by many, some have questioned whether he'll be in the NBA for any longer. The Nuggets eventually cut ties with him, a decision that made sense. He's spent the past four seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers and Minnesota Timberwolves, but has seen limited playing time, appearing in just 24 games last season between the two teams. MORE: And according to a recent report from Matteo Adreani, it's possible that Hyland won't be in the NBA for much longer. He noted that there's a team in the Serbian League, Crvena Zvezda, that would like to sign him. 'Bones Hyland is a strong name for Crvena Zvezda, as reported yesterday by @petacetvrtina_. Crvena Zvezda wants another big signing after Devonte Graham,' he wrote. It's possible that Hyland could go overseas and try to raise his stock a bit. Players have done that in the past, and it could work, but it's also possible that he could be playing himself out of the NBA. Regardless of what happens, he has to figure that out sometime over the next few weeks to months.

Stephen Curry once admitted he couldn't stop Kyrie Irving's iconic 3-pointer in the 2016 NBA Finals: "I was right there, tried not to foul, I stayed in front and contested"
Stephen Curry once admitted he couldn't stop Kyrie Irving's iconic 3-pointer in the 2016 NBA Finals: "I was right there, tried not to foul, I stayed in front and contested" originally appeared on Basketball Network. The 2016 NBA Finals were undoubtedly memorable given the unexpected twists and turns. With that being said, Kyrie Irving's game-winning 3-pointer over Stephen Curry will always remain one of the main highlights of the unforgettable seven-game series. A rematch from the 2015 Finals, with the Golden State Warriors prevailing over the Cleveland Cavaliers previously. Given the commanding 3-1 lead, it looked like history would repeat itself. However, LeBron James would not let this one slip so easily, especially with Irving by his side. The Cavs won the next two games to tie the series at 3-3, with the Dubs still having the home-court advantage in Game Seven. Trading punches, there came a time when neither side could drain a shot until Irving took matters into his own hands, with 53 seconds left in the game. A game-winning 3-pointer that etched his name in history. Unable to stop him, Curry did not have any regrets when it came to his defense. "You could tell that's a shot he's worked on. I was right there. Tried not to foul. I stayed in front and contested. He just made an amazing shot. You have to give him credit. There's nothing I'd do differently on that play," said Curry, who was recently named the first-ever unanimous MVP in 2016. Good defense but better offense Interestingly, Klay Thompson had been assigned defensive duties on Irving. But a timely screen from J.R. Smith had Curry switching with his Splash Brother. The Chef was locked in despite the sudden adjustment but could do nothing to combat Uncle Drew's wizardry. Irving sank the 3-pointer, which gave the Cavs a 92-89 lead with less than a minute remaining. He ended the fourth-quarter scoring dry spell and helped Cleveland snap its 52-year championship drought. The first team to ever come back from a 3-1 deficit in the Finals. It was an emotional moment for James, considering his history with the franchise and city. None of this would have been possible without Irving, who averaged 27 points during the Finals and shot 40 percent from the field. Mutual respect between Curry and Irving Two generational guards known for their one-of-a-kind skill sets, Curry and Irving, were drafted two years apart. It's no surprise, they were positioned as rivals, especially given their history in the Finals. Nevertheless, the two shared a common admiration for each other. While Curry gave his flowers to Irving regarding the 2016 Finals game-winner over him, the latter never hesitated to acknowledge what No. 30 has meant to the game. "I just show respect to the guys like that. He has put in a ton of work for our league, he has set the bar for a lot of us point guards of where we want to be, we are still chasing his legacy," said Irving about Curry in 2024. Both Curry and Irving have been game-changers when it comes to the point guard position in the NBA. Blessed with marksmanship and ball-handling skills, the two veterans have inspired a story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
