Grilling: Peaches with Fresh Raspberry Sauce
There is nothing better than grilled peaches. I've never poured raspberry sauce over them, but the whip cream - that's a no-brainer. Yum and thanks!

Any super spicy lo-mein, really spicy!
Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 23: What's Your Ideal Diet Breakfast?
Forgive me, but yuck. Not that I'm a model of nutrition, but if you replaced the Diet Coke with a sweet smoothie, you'd be off to a better start. I blend leftover fruit with a touch of milk, ice and sometimes protein powder (if I'm feeling healthy). Keep your chips, but get a replacement for the soda.
Of course, I gave up Coke, Pepsi (even the diet versions) years ago, and I'm still pudgy as ever... :) Still, I'd like to think a little bit of me is healthier, and I've earned a couple extra years.

First Look at the New Yankee Stadium Food
I grew up on Carvel and miss it desperately living up in New England.
Now I just need me some Yankees tickets so I can try those frickles... Alas, the tickets are way more expensive than the food... :(

Served: Why I Have the Best Job in the World
Hannah, great column! I worked front of house at a fine dining establishment for a short time. I don't miss the long hours, but do miss the connection with people who feel honored and special to partake in this communal experience. I also worked in flowers for several years and find the businesses to be so similar - long hours, low pay, but personally rewarding. I will keep reading!

I recently did 1st visit to pro baseball last month to new Yankee Stadium. Carl's philly steak w/ cheezwhiz was fantastic, luckily took advice that I would not have room for fries. I've spent $20 on far worse than one of them babies and a beer in my time. If any AA members are reading, screw the meetings "Hi, I'm Adam, I'm an alcoholic, and my wife Eve is addicted to apples." (or something like that) At $9 a beer, recovery comes quickly. I wasn't even driving, legally could have though. Dinner at Hard Rock next time, not just a t-shirt and a draft...
First Look at the New Yankee Stadium Food
I only tried the garlic fries on my first visit, but they were the best I've had. More well done than at Safeco Field and the Ballpark Formerly Known As PacBell. It's a good thing I didn't eat more. I might not have been able to keep it down after the Indians scored 14 runs in the second inning. I'm heading back this Saturday and plan to get some BBQ. I was gonna check out the Cuban sandwich too. Thanks for the heads up, Erin. I hope I have some room when I get to the stadium. I'm making my inaugaral visit to the Red Hook trucks on their 2009 opening day.
Ciao,

Good stuff. I've been to 2 games and had my fair share of food. Overall not impressed, but wasn't expecting much. The Billy Barou nachos were tops on my list followed by Lobels, and the chicken noodle bowl was decent. Still prefer grabbing a quality boars head sandwich from the Banana Deli on 161st St. for $5 and bringing it in. Thankfully we're still able to bring food in. Check out my rundown with a lot pics HERE.

@Picklejuice: That rumor has been around for a few months, still nothing announced by them.

Oh, and soft pretzels were $4.50 and 600-something calories. I had a bite of one and it was gross.
First Look at the New Yankee Stadium Food
Went to the game yesterday. Other than the prices being ridiculous - I think only the pretzel and pizza prices stayed the same - what is even more ridiculous is the calories listed for every single menu item. I will be bringing my food in the rest of the season. It might have the same amount of calories, but it will taste 100 times better and cost less than half the price.
First Look at the New Yankee Stadium Food
Wow, those prices are crazy! I'm glad I live in a minor league town. We can get BBQ sandwiches and burgers for $5. What's the price of a soft pretzel going for at the new stadiums? I hope the mustard is free.

I've always been a fickle baseball fan -- rooting for the NY team wth cuter players, prettier uniforms, or star players, but now I see the fault of my ways. Must root for the team with the best stadium food. Citi field seems to win the food game, so I'll be a Met's fan for now.
P.S. I heard a rumor that the original Carvel on Central Ave. was closing; is it true?
First Look at the New Yankee Stadium Food
I still think Citi Field has better food:

But in New England, there's little need for franchised ice cream :)
First Look at the New Yankee Stadium Food
Those prices are INSANE. $6.50 for a little cup of ice cream with sprinkles? CARVEL ice cream, no less? Keep the freakin' Yankee cap and knock a couple of bucks off the price. Who'll be able to take their kids to a ball game at this rate? It'd be cheaper to take 'em to a Broadway show.
And...."frickles"? What a horrible name. I can never take my Mississippi friends there--you know, the folks who first introduced me to the concept of deep-fried dill pickles....
First Look at the New Yankee Stadium Food
The real problem is not that people expect foie gras and sushi at the ballpark now. That's just ridiculous. No, the REAL problem is that they are charging an arm and a leg for these so-called "ballpark staples!" $5 for a bottle of water and $6+ for a hotdog is ROBBERY. They should just have some guy stand at the entrance and mug people on the way into the stadium!

@alesbica: Grazie! The post has been updated.

The plural form of "zeppola" is "zeppole", not "zeppoles."

@ shoneyjoe - LOL!!!
Sorry, but the food in the pictures just doesn't look that good. It all seems a little...blah.
I do love fried pickles, so props for that.

@eatboutique: I grew up on Carvel in MA, too...and we had it in ME. In fact, they serve those very little souvenir-cap ice creams from Carvel at the Seadogs games in Portland :-) I think you should be able to find some!

As someone who works in waste I really respect how you entitled that picture "waste management" for waste management is an industry not just a company.

You can blame the Dodgers for this shit when they started serving sushi at least 15 years ago

@eatboutique: I'm not sure where you live, but I grew up on Carvel in Connecticut, too (their ice cream cakes were standard for birthday parties). I'm no longer there, but I think Carvel is still around. : )

I'll still take a few $5.25 Shackburgers and the Mets at Citifield, thank you.

A drizzle of Honey or Agave nectar is pretty good too.

peanut sesame noodles, like they used to make 'em at the Chinese restaurant of my childhood. finding them again (the restaurant has closed) is my white whale . . .
