Nothing is more American than apple pie and baseball. And nothing is more baseball than peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
Maybe 100 years ago …
Today’s major-league stadiums are chock-full of specialty foods that are often signature items for a particular park. For me, growing up in Los Angeles, it was the Dodger Dog. Mmmm …
I was disappointed, however, to learn that the Dodger Dog did not make this year’s Sporting News list of Best Ballpark Food in America. In fact, I recognized almost nothing traditional about the five items on the list — although baseball fans at each of the stadiums featured would vehemently disagree with me.
For the record, here are the best five foods found at baseball stadiums across America according to the editors of Sporting News. For a detailed description of each, click here.
Sausage and chowder: Fenway Park
Rocky Mountain oysters: Coors Field
Primanti Bros. Sandwich: PNC Park
Rubio’s fish taco: Petco Park
Old Style beer: Wrigley Field
