AUGUSTA, Ga. — The Masters concession stand has an off‑menu option this week: a four‑ounce Bar‑B‑Que cup priced at $3, a bun‑less serving aimed at patrons with gluten allergies or anyone who prefers their pork without bread.
The small cup — not listed on the event’s printed menus — is sold at the same $3 price point as the tournament’s meat sandwiches. Staff at concession areas said customers who do want a bun with their order can request a gluten‑free bun at no extra charge when buying the pork cup, offering an accommodation for those avoiding gluten without a surcharge.
“Do they have cups of pimento cheese and egg salad?” asked Steven Jackson on Monday morning, as he surveyed the concessions during his first Masters Tournament. The answer was no for now; the pimento cheese and egg salad cups Jackson was hoping for were not being offered in the off‑menu format.
The four‑ounce Bar‑B‑Que cup appears to be an informal option rather than an advertised specialty. Its availability provides a simple solution for spectators seeking smaller portions, portable snacks while watching play, or gluten‑free choices without paying more. At $3, the cup matches the pricing of other meat items, keeping the concession costs in line across offerings.
Augusta National’s concessions are known for straightforward, familiar fare, and the unlisted cup is an example of the small, practical touches that matter to tournamentgoers navigating long days on the course. For first‑time visitors like Jackson, such details can spark conversations about what else might be available off the menu — a list that currently seems limited to the pork cup.
The discovery of the off‑menu Bar‑B‑Que cup was first reported by Golfweek. For attendees with dietary restrictions or those seeking a bun‑less option, vendors at the Masters are indicating there are ways to accommodate those preferences quietly, without altering posted prices.
