Significantly, simply have a look at this.

At a time when everybody and the whole lot is making an attempt to squeeze you for the final time, Augusta’s costs nonetheless seem like they’re from the 80s. Alcohol at a sporting occasion for less than $5-6 is remarkable. A $3 sandwich? A bag of popcorn prices twice as a lot in most locations. Rattling, that is earlier than we get to the enduring pimento cheese, which by some means nonetheless solely prices $1.50.

We determined to tackle a problem right here at SB Nation.com: if every of us had $20 to spend on an all-day meal at The Masters, what would we use it for? On this case, we’re particularly in search of breakfast, lunch, and snacks for the day (together with drinks) – leaving glad procuring. Here is what we got here up with.

Breakfast: Rooster sponge cake, Masters Mix Contemporary Brewed Espresso ($3.50)
Lunch: Ham and Cheese on Rye, Fries, Contemporary Brew Iced Tea ($6.50)
snacks: 2x pimento cheese sandwich, bottled water, imported beer ($10)

I am not an enormous breakfast man. I do know it is an necessary meal, however I hate consuming an excessive amount of within the morning. Normally I simply have one thing that permits me to drink espresso (at all times black, no sweetener) with out upset abdomen. The hen biscuit supplies a basis with a wholesome quantity of protein to maintain me going.

Dinner was straightforward for me. In case you give me a menu that features one thing “for rye”, I select that. I really like rye bread a lot it hurts, and for me it at all times elevates the bread from being a easy sandwich car to an expertise. I’d eat rye sandwiches on a regular basis if my spouse and daughter favored them too, however sadly I do not eat as a lot rye bread as I would like as a result of I can not eat a complete loaf in per week. Give me some chips and candy tea and I will be strong.

Selecting the enduring pimento cheese sandwich as a snack looks like dishonest – however I personal it. One center of the morning, one center of the afternoon and I am utterly golden. The primary sandwich comes with a bottle of water for hydration, the second offers me a beer. Undecided what they’ve for ‘imported beer’ however I selected this over The Masters’ personal ‘Crow’s Nest’ as I am not an enormous fan of wheat beers.

Breakfast: Blueberry Muffin, Rooster Cake, Bottled Water ($5.50)
Lunch: Rooster Brioche Salad, Pimento Cheese Sandwich, Bottled Water ($6.50)
Snacks and drinks: Crow’s Nest, Cookies (2x) ($8.00)

I am not a espresso drinker, so I’ve to pay a little bit additional for water within the morning. I thought-about a mixture of recent fruit as a substitute of a blueberry muffin, however that may be 50 cents over the restrict.

I have been eyeing this hen salad sandwich since I first noticed the low cost costs. I can not miss my favourite pimento cheese sandwich, so as a substitute of blending chips or one thing else, I am going to simply eat two sandwiches.

And it is sufficient to easily finish the day with an Augusta brew and cookies. Straightforward sufficient!

Mark Schofield

Breakfast: Breakfast Sandwich, Blueberry Muffin, Masters Mix Espresso ($6.00)
Lunch: Pimento cheese sandwich (x2), fries, bottled water ($6.50)
Snacks and drinks: Crow’s Nest, Mini Moon Pie, Pecan Caramel Popcorn ($7.50)

We’ll unwind a bit through the day and I really feel like I must strive one thing known as “Masters Mix Contemporary Brewed Espresso”, regardless that I am extra of an vitality drink particular person.

Lunch should embody a pimento cheese sandwich, and we’ll go along with two of them, as a result of properly, for $1.50 I can. And if a Michelin-starred chef says Augusta’s pimento cheese sandwich cannot be improved, who am I to argue?

Remainder of the day? We get pleasure from Crow’s Nest, Augusta’s craft wheat beer. It’s described to style just like Blue Moon, with orange undertones, and it really sounds beautiful. As well as, you’ll obtain a inexperienced commemorative mug. Who would not love commemorative mugs! And whereas I am normally not a fan of caramel popcorn, I really feel like if it really works anyplace, Augusta is the place to be.

JP Acosta

Breakfast: Rooster Pie, Blueberry Muffin, Bottled Water ($5.50)
Lunch: BBQ Sandwich, Fries, Iced Tea ($6.50)
Snacks and drinks: Popcorn Pecan Caramel, Crow’s Nest, Cookies ($8.00)

At a sporting occasion like The Masters, tempo is necessary. You may be strolling via all of the holes virtually all day lengthy. You don’t need gasoline within the morning, so we load up on a hen pie, blueberry muffin, and bottled water for breakfast. The morning begins at 66 levels in Augusta however shortly rises to 84 levels at midday. The timber will present some shade, however with the scorching solar you want to get some water into your physique early.

Lunch is the time once we turn out to be energetic. A BBQ sandwich, fries, and an iced tea for lower than $7 positive factors worth late within the challenge. I’ve been pondering for a very long time a few grilled sandwich or a hen sandwich. I really like BBQ, and also you’re within the South, so you already know BBQ’s not going to be horrible. Nevertheless, it doesn’t specify what is occurring on the sandwich. Is that pulled pork? Bridge possibly? Possibly some hen? Anyway, I am going to take an opportunity with the grill as a result of the grill is absolutely good. In case you’re within the south, iced tea is a formality right here, hopefully candy tea. Then chips apart to finish the lunch. I initially had pimento cheese on this menu however then checked the components. Mayo is a troublesome move for me, so let’s skip that.

The Crow’s Nest is a wheat beer and I am not a lot for sporting occasions however it’s one thing particular for Masters and also you get a commemorative mug so it is 100% price it. To be trustworthy, all I wanted to see was Pecan Caramel, and I used to be prepared for no matter was to comply with. You possibly can’t mess up this mixture. Then you definately go for cookies as a result of mooncakes are overrated and I really feel like folks ought to know that.

We stayed below $30 with the choice so as to add one other beer or soda relying on how the vibes are going.

Breakfast: Rooster Biscuit, Masters Mix Freshly Brewed Espresso ($3.50)
Lunch: Bar-B-Que, Chips, Cola (Pepsi isn’t acceptable) ($6.50)
Snacks and drinks: Pimento Cheese, Georgia Pecan Caramel Popcorn, Peanuts, Cookies, 2 Water Bottles ($10)

Let’s put that apart, Pepsi isn’t a suitable substitute for Coke.

As famous by JP, tempo is vital on this course of, so for me it begins with what I’ve heard is a good espresso hen cake with cream and sugar. I do not must be heavy to start out the day, however I want gasoline.

At lunch, I virtually by no means say no to one thing grilled. I ordered ribs at an Italian restaurant (my spouse’s household nonetheless mentions it greater than a decade later) and would do it once more. It is a decently lengthy day once more and I plan on hitting the meals bar a couple of occasions a day. (Uncertain if it is a hut in Augusta, however I’ve to go along with my experiences). Chips and coke end my lunch properly, a little bit salty and a little bit candy.

We lastly get to a spot the place I am having a very good day. Two totally different “snack” stops embody a Pimento cheese sandwich (for $1.50 it is a snack), popcorn, and water. Virtually like one other little lunch! Then peanuts (I would not do it concurrently popcorn), cookies, and water to maintain me hydrated later within the day. A bit of lighter, however nonetheless some gasoline for the quantity of strolling and standing round you do at a celebration.

Matt Warren

Breakfast: Rooster Biscuit, Grasp’s Mix Freshly Brewed Espresso ($3.50)
Lunch: Egg Salad, Bar-B-Que, Contemporary Brew Iced Tea, Mini Moon Pie ($7.50)
Snack and drinks: cheese with pepper, Crow’s Nest, Georgia Pecan Caramel Popcorn ($8.00)

I really like a very good breakfast sandwich, and due to saving {dollars} and having the ability to eat fried meals as a substitute of a more healthy choice, I’m going for breakfast with hen. It goes properly with black espresso and my acid reflux disorder treatment.

If I am on The Masters for the primary time, I am going to stick with the classics. An egg salad sandwich as a part of my lunch is the normal alternative right here, however I additionally need a heartier grilled sandwich. Mooncake is my favourite dessert, and whereas I normally favor common sizes, a mini should do. Usually I’d make a Weight loss plan Soda right here (energy, am I proper?), however iced tea appears to be the proper pairing in Augusta.

Going with my Masters themed classics, I am including two different signature gadgets to the remainder of my day with Pimento Cheese and Crow’s Nest, so I’ve a brand new beer so as to add to my Untappd record. I am not usually a wheat beer man however you need to give it a try to hold the commemorative mug. I stay in New York, so after I’m in Georgia, I get popcorn for my salty-crunchy sweetness. (Sorry peanuts.)

I’ve a greenback left over and I put it within the tip jar. It isn’t a lot, however it’s at all times one thing. If I paid greater than $100 for entrance tickets, to not point out touring from NY, I in all probability ought to have tipped extra. I undoubtedly do not want one other Mini Moon Pie on the finish of the day. Possibly I ought to order a second breakfast sandwich as a substitute.
