There are few better things in life than sports. Except sports and some good food…and maybe a few beers. But what if it was local sports and truly local food? For a locavore, that would be heaven. Well, heaven may be in San Jose. At an Earthquakes soccer game.

Not only are the Earthquakes a longtime MLS powerhouse, they have embraced local food like few other professional franchises. At Earthquakes games the food comes from local food trucks and caterers and the beers come from local brewers like Gordon-Biersch. No “dirty water dogs” here my friends (not that there is anything wrong with that). At these games you get the good stuff. Chowders and lobster rolls, tacos, Korean BBQ, smoothies and curries. And the lineup changes by the game, if you want variety, the Earthquakes have it.

So the next time you want to check out some quality soccer (futbol or football, for those who prefer those terms) try out the Earthquakes and enjoy some local food and drink in the process. And it just happens that they have a game tonight- with some awesome food trucks. Worth a trip to San Jose…
