BARFBLOG: Michelle Mazur: Food safety at baseball parks - (barfblog)

July 16, 2008 – 11:15 pm

Hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, pretzels with cheese, popcorn, and peanuts are all a part of the classic ballpark menu. But as the baseball industry grows, new additions to the menu include peppery clam chowder served in a bread bowl dotted through with tender bits of clam; a fried catfish sandwich in a crisp, Cajun-accented crust; and a homey bowl of jerk chicken over rice, with a healthy dash of jalapeño hot sauce. Peter Meehan recently completed a trek across the country to 10 American cities, visiting 12 major league ballparks to sample the cuisine that was offered.

Even the hot dogs have evolved. How about a fiesta dog at Minute Maid Park, which is grilled and topped with red and green jalapeños, corndogs at Turner Field, bratwurst at Miller Park in Milwaukee and kosher dogs in Chicago.
