Disgusting Behavior: Darren Rovell trashing the concessions at Augusta National

Darren Rovell posted his top three most overrated foods in sports this week and somehow managed to include the pimento cheese sandwich at Augusta National, the mint julep at the Kentucky Derby, and strawberries and cream at Wimbledon.

Three of the most beloved food traditions in all of sports. Gone. Overrated. According to Darren Rovell. He then followed it up by saying the Masters peach ice cream sandwich is not a top 25 ice cream sandwich in the country.

Again, not a top 25 ice cream sandwich in the country, but those with Masters press passes can't say that. https://t.co/kidKoZt0Xl

Here is the full 2026 Masters concession menu:

• $1.50: Egg salad sandwich, pimento cheese sandwich, apple slices, chips
• $2: Soft drinks, bottled water, fresh brewed iced tea, Masters blend coffee
• $2.50: Fresh mixed fruit, blueberry muffin, Southern cheese straws
• $3: Pork BBQ, savory tomato pie, Masters club, chicken salad on honey wheat, ham and cheese on rye, classic chicken, chicken biscuit, breakfast sandwich, Georgia peach ice cream sandwich
• $2.25: Masters candy bar
• $2: Georgia pecan caramel popcorn, cookies
• $6: Beer, wine

A Georgia peach ice cream sandwich at Augusta National costs three dollars. Three dollars, which is nearly a third of the amount you would spend on a bottle of water at any other sporting event in America.

At most arenas and stadiums a beer is fifteen dollars. A hot dog is six. If you’re lucky, a bottle of water is five. At the Masters you can eat and drink all day and walk out having spent less than you would on a single round at a normal ballpark.

Nobody going to the Masters is saying the pimento cheese sandwich is a culinary masterpiece. Nobody is claiming the egg salad is life changing. People love the concessions because they are not being robbed at the register.

That is the whole thing which apparently Darren Rovell is clueless about.

I guess we’ll just forget about a tradition that has been around for 25+ years at one of the most prestigious and all-around best sporting events in America. You are at the most iconic golf tournament in the world eating a simple sandwich for a $1.50 while watching the best players alive compete on the most beautiful course ever built.

Nope. Darren Rovell wants to tell us it is overrated.

I would also like Darren to name 25 ice cream sandwiches that are better than a Georgia peach ice cream sandwich at Augusta National. I would bet my life he cannot do it. I do not think twenty-five distinct varieties of ice cream sandwich exist.

That statement was completely made up and he knows it. He is just an old man yelling at clouds from inside the ropes at the Masters, which is itself one of the most exclusive tickets in all of sports, complaining about the food that everyone else is thrilled to be eating.

Nobody asked Darren Rovell. Nobody has ever asked Darren Rovell. He will be back tomorrow complaining that Amen Corner is not a top twenty-five three-hole stretch named after a Hebrew word.
