When it comes to the extremely low prices, high-quality relative to those prices, and the swiftness of the operation itself, there isn&#8217;t a more seamless and enjoyable concessions experience in sports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Complaining about the concessions at Augusta National is like complaining about Chick-Fil-A&#8217;s customer service: you just don&#8217;t do it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/sports\/darren-rovell-savagely-cuts-in-front-of-kids-with-special-needs-to-get-video-with-jj-watt-after-his-final-game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Darren Rovell Savagely Cuts In Front Of Kids With Special Needs To Get Video With JJ Watt After His Final Game<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">That is, unless your name is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/category\/darren-rovell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Darren Rovell<\/a> and bitching and moaning is the structure in which your entire personality is built.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The former ESPN writer jumped on X on Wednesday and said that people expressing their love and appreciation for the food at the Masters is &#8220;one of the weirdest annual behaviors in all of sport.&#8221; In other words, Rovell has an issue with people being happy that the Masters offers good food at an extremely affordable cost. Having such a problem with it that you have to complain about it to your 1.8 million followers is beyond weird, which makes it entirely normal behavior for Mr. Rovell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">As someone who has a lot of experience eating food at the Masters (no biggie) my issue with Rovell&#8217;s post is that nobody is out there clamoring that the Masters has the greatest food in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The obsession and appreciation for every item available is that, relative to the cost, it&#8217;s very, very good. When you can get a sandwich and a beer for $9, both of those things are going to taste a lot better knowing that if you bought the same thing at literally any other professional sporting event, you&#8217;re looking at dropping $30, minimum.<\/p>\n<p>Darren Rovell Roasted For Absurd Masters Food Take<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Darren hates happiness.
