When the Phillies welcome fans back to Citizens Bank Park on Thursday for Opening Day, there will be a number of new concessions to try from food vendor Aramark, which is bringing a back a revamped version of last postseason's Schwarburger.

The Schwarburger 2.0, inspired by the tastes of power-hitter Kyle Schwarber, features a beef patty topped with American cheese, pepper bacon, fried egg, crispy onions and a signature sauce. It will be available all season at the concession stand in Section 142. The original Schwarburger, sold to support charity during last year's playoff run, had a 1/2 pound burger, smoked BBQ brisket, sharp American cheese, bacon, onion rings and a cherry pepper relish.

Manco & Manco's popular boardwalk-style pizza from the Jersey Shore also will be expanding to the upper deck this season, with a stand in the terrace-level Section 321. After its debut in Ashburn Alley two years ago, Manco & Manco expanded last season with other stands at Pass and Stow, Miller Lite Liberty Landing, Section 137 and Section 212 in the Hall of Fame Club.

Citizens Bank Park is one of nine MLB stadiums served by Aramark, which typically changes up some of its offerings from year to year. USA Today recently ranked the food at Citizens Bank Park among the top 10 in the league, behind only Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Milwaukee's American Family Field and the Mets' top-ranked Citi Field.

New items this year include a bratwurst sandwich topped with spicy mustard and beer-braised onions on a Liscio's Bakery Roll. That will be available at Pass and Stow, the sports pub next to the third base gate.
