Royals Sell Hot Dogs You Wouldn’t Feed To Your Dog

0 comments by on 4/21/2015

The Kansas City Royals have a concessions problem. Their food company, Aramark was cited for multiple violations during the 2014 World Series, and this past Opening Day. Now call me crazy, but taking that into consideration you would think that Aramark would put their best foot forward at the K to avoid negative publicity. Instead, […]

Mayors Betting Food? Must Be The Playoffs

0 comments by on 4/20/2015

There’s nothing like the winter sport playoffs when it comes to constant drama and white knuckle rooting. It’s a season onto itself. That season also brings a sub-season, if you will: The season of political heads of each city betting food with the political head of the city whose team you are playing in the […]

Foul Balls Are Beer Seeking Missiles

The chances of foul balls or errant baseballs landing in your beer? One in some number that I made up in my head. But leave it to the good folks at Wrigley Field to beat the odds on Saturday: Your browser does not support iframes. Now the chances of this happening twice in one day? […]

Ranking The Media Meals At Major League Parks

0 comments by on 4/18/2015

Andy McCullough covers the Royals for the Kansas City Star, and has been to all 30 MLB Stadiums in the process. This makes him uniquely qualified to judge the food in the 30 parks, but from a different angle. For a recent Royals mailbag, McCullough was asked via twitter which park has the best press […]

Chicken Fingers Are Falling From The Sky!

The seagulls at AT&T Park expect a baseball game to be over in a certain time window. If it isn’t, they give zero flying leaps about your ballgame. They will come for their leftovers when they feel like it. They made their almost nightly appearance in extra innings of Thursday’s Giants’ game against Arizona, and […]

The Padres Acquire Players And Food Alike

0 comments by

The San Diego Padres went gonzo this past off season remaking their team. They did it in ways you never thought possible by trading for Justin Upton, Matt Kemp, Wil Myers, Craig Kimbrel, and signing Steve Shields to spruce up their franchise. It’s no different at the concession stands at Petco Park this season, as […]

Knicks Give Away Free Food To Soothe The Pain Of 2015

The New York Knicks have had a rough season, and that’s putting it mildly. They were out of it since Opening Night, their star player was injured all season yet risked further injury so that he could play in London and in the All Star Game at Madison Square Garden, and they stunk so bad […]

Nik Stauskas Gets His House Filled With Popcorn

0 comments by on 4/14/2015

A popular prank among NBA players is to fill a player’s car with popcorn. Sometimes it backfires when you do it to the wrong person, or use buttered popcorn and fill it into a car with a white interior. Or both. But the latest popcorn incident went better than that, thankfully for the Sacramento Kings. […]

The Stanley Cup playoffs start on Wednesday. The Cup is the toughest trophy to win in sports, and 16 teams will prove that once again over the next two months. What of those teams that don’t get to drink out of hockey’s holy grail? Well, they could always visit Montreal and eat this … This Stanley Cup […]

St. Louis Figures Out That It’s All About The Bacon

0 comments by

Bacon needs no introduction. Like a Nuke Laloosh fastball, it announces its presence with authority. It’s taken over the concession stands from ballpark to ballpark, city to city. It was only inevitable that St. Louis would fall to its sexy and powerful appeal. So you have Busch Stadium in 2015: the newest Bacon Central … … […]

Dan Jenkins Creates Masters Drama: With Food

0 comments by

The Masters was a runaway from the ceremonial first tee shot. Jordan Spieth was unreal from tee to green, from Thursday to Sunday. Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose tried their best to create a little Sunday drama, but Spieth was just too good. So where were you going to find some Sunday golf drama? Well […]

Asheville Tourists Get In On The Waffle Cone Game

0 comments by on 4/10/2015

We like to split baseball years into eras. Deadball Era, Steroid Era, Era of the Pitcher, so on and so forth. I think that we are entering an era of food choices at ballparks, and it’s a good one. Call it … “The Chicken in a Waffle Cone Era”. And it’s going to be influential […]

Joe Maddon Creates A Culinary Delight

0 comments by

Joe Maddon has a lot of work to do. He has to turn around a team that has a bunch of new players, playing in a ballpark in the middle of renovations, and he has to win a title for a team that hasn’t won one since 1908. No pressure, right? Well even though that […]

The Transatlantic Food Trade Comes To Major League Soccer

0 comments by on 4/8/2015

Players get traded all the time. In soccer, players are “transferred”. (I think that’s what it’s called. But I’m a filthy American that never quite caught hold of futbol fever. Don’t judge me … I’m trying.) But I’ve never heard of trading delicious food dishes, especially between a league here in the states and the […]

Stump This Schwab!

Looking for a sandwich with everything on it? And I mean everything? The Fresno Grizzlies might have just what you’re looking for, as they are ready to debut a new hamburger called “The Schwab” for the 2015 season. What is in a Schwab? The better question might be: What isn’t in the Schwab? The sandwich […]
