Prince’s is an excellent choice!!! Mmmm, cheesburger, fries and a 16 oz. sugary drink!!! Cravin’ it after swimming all afternoon! I do, however, miss the Edloe Deli food. The lack of proposals submitted should send a message to the City people Food vendors are a tight bunch and have excellent memories.

Not that all the food that the WULL/WUSA baseball concession stands offer is healthy fare either, however, they do offer some interesting alternatives ( Vietnamese spring rolls with satay sauce; warm pretzels; fajitas….). It would be good to see some alternatives to the typical hamburger fare we have seen offered to date.

Prince’s has a variety of healthy options such as Grilled Turkey Burgers, Chicken, and Salads. They also have great sides like sweet potato fries. I am sure they would be happy to listen to any comments the neighborhhod would suggest. Great choice.

Why do people think Chick-fil-A is healthy?
Prince’s has grilled chicken and salads. Concession stands are tricky – limited in what they can store and prepare. Too bad Zoe’s or Skeeter’s was not interested.

Although I have never eaten at a Prince’s, their online menu lists several salads as well as grilled chicken sandwiches. I would be these are offered at the pool as well.

Agreed, though since Chick-fil-a doesn’t operate on Sundays (don’t get me started), they would be a pretty bad choice.

Would love to have seen JerryBuilt bid since they are big into the local support model, already charge a premium for their products, and offer a number of healthy alternatives.

Healthy foods sure would be nice. Cool salads, fruit bowls, PBJ sandwiches, grilled chicken on rice or in a pita, etc., intead of grease. If the vendor ONLY offered healthy foods and charged a decent price, I bet the concession would work just as well.

How about something healthy for a change? Prince’s hamburgers aren’t exactly high on the healthy barometer. Chick fil a would be a better option (obviously they need to submit a proposal and must not have done so).
