This is the type of helpful travel tip that even non-baseball fans can sink their teeth into. The New York Times has posted an interactive map of the culinary delights available at all the major league baseball stadiums throughout the United States (and Toronto).While I feel bad for my friends who are fans of the White Sox (not one item on their menu is recommended; the Times says bring a six pack and barter for a dog outside), I can agree with the assessment that the dogs at Shea are edible but way too expensive. (I think everyone can buy a full pack of hot dogs and possibly also the buns for less than the price of one dog at the game.)
I've gone to enough games and eaten enough expensive hot dogs to have decided that I don't need to have a dog and a beer at every game I attend any more. At the prices these days, I'm hard-pressed to attend more than one or two games anyway. But it's nice to fantasize, and if you do go to a game, why not have a game plan about the stadium menu!

I have to agree with the Times-the food at Cominsky aka US Cellular Field (ugh! it still leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you call it that "name") has some of the worst food and the most expensive we've encountered. We save our money by eating before the game & drinking water! But with the ticket prices-parking fees and "entertainment" taxes added on-we can't afford the ball games either! Isn't it ironic that a town famous for their hotdogs, has a ballpark (2 of them) that has a reputation of having such terrible food INCLUDING the hotdogs! You would think the food at these events would be a no brainer considering this is CHICAGO!! Just goes to show you how capitalism has overtaken good taste & keeping with traditions. Have your tried our Vienna hotdogs? They are divine!!!
Matt: couldn't you have gotten a better and more appetizing picture? (smiles)
Cammy, I want to thank you again for your wonderful gift. Clearly, the White Sox are doing fine in the popcorn department.
