Alright baseball fans, let's talk about the real MVPs of any MLB game: the concessions! We all know the struggle – you're already paying a fortune for tickets, and then the stadium food prices hit you like a 98-mph fastball. But, let's be real, sometimes that overpriced hot dog is the highlight of the whole night. So I decided to rank the best stadium concessions, based on pure deliciousness, value (as much as possible!), and overall experience.
First up, we have the classic ballpark frank. But not just any frank. I'm talking about those gourmet dogs, the ones with all the fixings – I'm looking at you, Dodger Stadium's pastrami dog. That thing is a legend. Seriously, you haven't lived until you've tried it. Then there's the Chicago-style hot dog. You know, the one with all the neon green relish and yellow mustard? It's a whole experience, and I'm here for it.
But let's not forget the sweet treats! I've had some truly epic ice cream sundaes at various stadiums. One time, I swear, I saw a sundae the size of my head! It was insane. But those mini donuts? Don't even get me started. Those little guys are dangerously addictive. I could eat a whole box in one sitting. No regrets.
Now, let's talk about the weird stuff. You know, the local specialties that are only available at certain stadiums. I once tried a deep-fried pickle at a game, and it was surprisingly good! It was weird, but good. And then there was that one time I saw someone eating a whole roasted chicken in the stands. I know, this is wild—but stay with me. It was pretty epic.
I've also had some pretty epic failures. I tried this one "gourmet" pretzel that was supposed to be the best thing ever, but it ended up tasting like sadness. Seriously, it was depressing. But hey, even the bad experiences make for good stories, right?
So, what are your favorite stadium snacks? Have you tried any of these? Would love to hear your take!
