The weekend’s big event may be out in Arlington, but the American Airlines Center’s still hosting the rookie challenge and the slam dunk contest tonight and Saturday, and the arena’s catering crew — who figured prominently in our list of DFW’s stadium-food surprises — are turning out a new menu in impressive quantities.
