Meal StealsLos Angeles Rams: every active food-deal partnership in LA
The Rams ship two recurring food triggers, both verified against the official partnership pages: Carl's Jr. on any defensive interception and El Torito on any 4th-down stop.
Active partnerships
Sourced from each restaurant's official promotion page or the team's own announcements. The "verified" tag means a primary source exists (team press release, restaurant promo page, or an official social post). "Reported" means the deal mechanic is described in secondary press without a located primary source for that specific claim.

The story
The Rams' food-deal ecosystem is shaped by a relatively young LA NFL relationship (the team left for St. Louis in 1995 and returned in 2016) and the gravitational pull of a single 2022 Super Bowl win on the home-stadium calendar. Most Rams restaurant partnerships that can be dated precisely cluster in the 2022 post-Super-Bowl window: Carl's Jr.'s multi-year deal landed six months after SoFi Stadium hosted Super Bowl LVI (2022-08-11 team press release), and El Torito's standing 4th-down-stop campaign appears to have firmed up shortly after, with the earliest dated journalism reference located being a Yahoo News piece in December 2023. The current Carl's Jr. trigger condition (interception, any game) is a flip from the original 2022 launch (the original 'Rams Dub, Fans Grub' any-win promo); no primary source dating that change has been recovered. Compared to the Dodgers (decades of Jack in the Box history) or LAFC (a well-documented Chick-fil-A goal-celebration partnership), Rams partnerships read younger and more event-driven, and the deals that survive are the ones that found a defensible recurring stat trigger. A separate Jack in the Box Rams deal (two touchdowns equals free Jumbo Jack) appeared in 2017 Rams official posts and 2024 sponsored TikToks under code GORAMS24, but it is not currently on the team's official partnerships page; whether it is still live for the 2025-26 season is one of the open verification items called out in the synthesis (mds1/meal-steals#295). The 2024 home-game data shows the Carl's Jr. interception trigger fired in 4 of 9 games, with the highest single-game total being 3 interceptions against the Raiders on 2024-10-20.
