2011 Minor League Baseball Hot Dog Roundup
Last week we looked at Major League Baseball's 2011 roster of signature hot dogs, including a few ridiculous meat-on-meat concoctions. But some of these Minor League hot dog atrocities make those look boring! We're talking one-pound hot dogs loaded with toppings like wasabi, chocolate chips, chipotle ranch dressing, okra, pineapple, frog legs, which are then dipped into funnel cake batter, wrapped in bacon and / or stuffed into twinkies, hamburgers, or even other hot dogs.Major League Baseball's Best and Craziest Ballpark Hot Dogs for 2011
Meat on meat insanity is big this year at the ballpark concession stands. There's the Cincinnati Reds' bacon-wrapped, deep-fried Meat Lover's Dog topped with chili and garnished with crispy fried salami. The Orioles have a brand new pit-beef and pepperoni topped Birdland Dog, while other parks are topping hot dogs with pulled pork, barbecue sauce-drowned brisket, and even cheesesteak meat. Take a look at some of the craziest dogs we found across the country—we threw some classics in there too!Critic-Turned-Cook Strikes Out At Ballpark Tasting
At a sneak preview of the new food at Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners, I get the chance to ask the chef Jim Makinson for a spot in his kitchen. But I choke when the critic in me comes gushing out.Scoreboard Gourmet, a Blog About Stadium Eating
scoreboardgourmet.typepad.com Scoreboard Gourmet is a blog covering food's intersection with sports, particularly baseball right now. With Florida spring training in full swing, they are less focused on steroid scandals, more so on hot dog vendors and smoked corn. Some recent breaking news: the new Yankees stadium will not sell guava juice. [via djacobs]...In Videos: Phillies Hot Dog Launcher Mockumentary
How did the Phillies become world champs this year? Maybe because their fans stay well-nourished with projectile hot dogs. Hatfield Meats and our favorite chubby green furball mascot, Phillie Phanatic engineered a hot dog launcher and documented (mockumented?) the planning phases, which were sometimes tense given the Phanatic's temper. Like all good ideas, it started with a dream: "I liked to shoot things as a kid," says co-creator Eric Haman. As far as flying objects go, these look tastier than a home run or foul ball. The video, after the jump....Andre Ethier: L.A. Dodger, Food Blogger
We somehow missed this last week, and I kick myself for that because it's such a cool story. The Wall Street Journal has a charming feature on L.A. Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier and his nascent food blog. Mr. Ethier knows where to find the best throat-meat tacos in Los Angeles, the juiciest Salvadoran papusas and the city's tastiest Romanian chicken stew. He waxes poetic about the pinto beans in his native Arizona, where they're often pureed with cream and lard. "Here they want you to taste the bean, not the lard, which is... different."In June, Mr. Ethier began snapping pictures of the dishes at some of his favorite restaurants and posting them on a blog he calls Dining With 'Dre....Milwaukee Brewers Picture Each Other as Talking Hot Dog, Hamburger
Milwaukee Brewers fans might have reason to get nervous. According to this report from the Onion, starting pitcher CC Sabathia and first baseman Prince Fielder keep envisioning each other as juicy chili cheese dogs and hamburgers on legs, which distracts from the game. Brewers manager Ned Yost had to step in and regulate, announcing that any player who attempts to devour another, no matter how scrumptious they look, will be subject to disciplinary action....All You Can Eat at Dodger Stadium
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack—again and again and again. I just read in the Wall Street Journal (in the paper version, as the online version of the story is, unfortunately, behind a paywall) that Dodger Stadium is offering all-you-can-eat hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, peanuts, and soda as part of a package deal in its cheap, right-field seats. "Tickets range from $20 to $40 apiece, depending on the allure of the match-up and whether they are bought by groups or individuals."...Pitiful Pitch Inspires Cincinnati Sandwich
Well, it's one way to achieve some sort of sandwich-based immortality. The mayor's errant ceremonial first pitch on baseball's opening day has inspired a sandwich with a fitting name: The Mark Mallory Screwball.The ingredients for the sandwich at Izzy's deli will be "any two meats tossed in the general direction of a bun or two pieces of bread." But Mallory has a good sense of humor about it: "This is wonderful," he said. "Who wouldn't want a sandwich named for them?"...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
