Klay Thompson: Splashy All-Star Food Critic

Every NBA player has their favorite cities for restaurants on road trips. The best food from around the NBA is in New York this All-Star Weekend, and Klay Thompson is putting each city's dish to the test.

Barclays Center is adding items to their menu for the Friday and Saturday night All-Star Weekend events, featuring food from more than 20 NBA cities.

Thompson claims the Bay Area may have some of the best food in the country, so this weekend is his chance to match it up against signature flavors from other NBA cities.

Can "Maverick Shrimp Cocktail" win the day and make Dallas the new No. 1 city for NBA eats?

Will Thompson choose the Indiana Pacers-themed "Pork Tenderloin Sandwich?" Or the "Smoked Brisket and Waffles" straight out of Houston? What about the "DC Big Smoke?"
