As the Golden State Warriors take the court, the culinary team at Chase Center is proving that arena food can be as elite as the athletes on the floor. Under the direction of Kristela Nazario-Mendoza and the Bon Appétit team, the 2024 season highlights high-quality, locally sourced ingredients—none more prominent than the artisanal bread from Nisi’s Craft Bakery.

The Foundation of a Bestseller

The standout addition to the arena’s food map is Bayview Burgers, a new concept that has already produced an instant fan favorite: the Double Dub Burger.

While the burger features two grass-fed Angus patties and premium toppings like slow-simmered bacon onion jam and sun-dried tomato aioli, the secret to its success is the locally crafted soft pretzel bun from Mill Valley’s Nisi’s Craft Bakery.

• Strength and Texture: The pretzel bun was specifically chosen for its ability to “stand up to the heft” of the double patties and rich sauces without falling apart.
• Local Craftsmanship: As part of Nazario-Mendoza’s mission to source produce and ingredients within a tight radius of the arena, the partnership with Chris Nisi ensures that fans are eating fresh, artisan-level bread rather than mass-produced buns.

Found at Portals 3, 18, 23, and 45, the Double Dub—supported by Nisi’s signature pretzel bun—is a prime example of how Chase Center is elevating the standard “burger and fries” experience into a gourmet event.
