Korean corn dogs, seasoned fries and food items created by a local food influencer are concession items for on the menu for Pistons playoffs.

When the Detroit Pistons tip off their playoff run, the action won't just be on the court. Little Caesars Arena is elevating the fan experience with a slam dunk of new concession items, including exclusive creations from a beloved local food influencer.

In a delicious crossover between Detroit's vibrant food scene and playoff basketball, the Pistons and their food partner, Delaware North Sportservice, have unveiled a lineup of limited-time offerings. This move caters to fans looking for more than just a classic hot dog during the high-stakes postseason atmosphere.

The standout story is the collaboration with Eric Hambleton, the St. Clair Shores influencer behind "Eric Loves Cooking." For the first time, the arena's chefs have teamed up with a local fan to craft two signature items available at the new Detroit Street Lab. Hambleton's creations—a smash burger and a deli steak sandwich—are beefy tributes designed for speed and big flavor, perfect for grabbing during a timeout.

"I am proud of myself," Hambleton said. "It’s amazing to have an opportunity like this and work with people who support and believe in me." His "Motor City Crisp" is a clever nod to Detroit-style pizza, featuring brick cheese and a cheese crisp, while his Deli Steak Sandwich offers a hearty, roast beef-inspired option.

But the new menu extends beyond this collaboration. Fans can also grab trendy Korean corn dogs and the "All The Time Fry"—seasoned fries loaded with a special spice blend, sauce, and fresh scallions at The Coop. For a sweet victory treat, the "Full Court Press Sundae" comes in a souvenir sneaker cup, topped with team-colored soda and sprinkles.

These new eats join arena staples like Mike’s Pizza Bar, ensuring every fan can find the perfect fuel to cheer on the Pistons throughout what promises to be an electrifying playoff series.
