Plan B Forum

The Texas Rangers introduce a new addition to their (food) lineup — the
It's a 1/3-pound wiener, wrapped in a 1/3-pound hamburger patty and secured with two slices of bacon, served on a bun.
All this goodness for only $8.75 each.  And it is reportedly under 1000 calories.

There's only one thing left to say.....

TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Looks to me like it could use more bacon...

Oh, and don't forget pineapple.

You can always use more bacon. And maybe a slice or two of cheese in between the dog and the burger. And some onions between the bacon and the burger.
But I'll take it the way it is for now.

I forget who said it but "If I owned Texas and Hell I'd rent out Texas and go live in the other place."




here it is, Philip Sheridan.

Those sound like good additions...

But to make it healthier, we should also probably add some sort of green veggie...

I'm thinkin' jalapeno slices...

Now we're talking.
And seeing how presentation is everything, a sprig of parsley on top.

A dog and a beer and perhaps some roasted peanuts is baseball chow!

Yes, a regular dog, not that revolting concoction. I chose the image of the guy puking red, because that's all the blood that will come gushing out when his heart explodes.

MLB is just too expensive for me. The only such game I have attended in this century was at Wrigley Field--at one of those party houses beyond right field and paid by my employer. Very few people around me were watching the game, which was impossible without binoculars
There were tv screens there so you could see the game just as if you had stayed home.

I have gone to several local minor league games with the Wilmington Blue Rocks. I was baffled by the number of 'mascots', people in strange costumes resembling food. The announcer seemed by his talk about them to believe their role was to distract people from the boredom of the game.

I think there is nothing more exciting than a no hitter or a one to nothing game. Every pitch can change the game. For good baseball, I suggest going to a local American Legion ball park. The food will be prepared by volunteers and profits will go to overhead expenses. And you may even know the players--they will certainly be very willing to talk to you about the game.

I take it then Dale, that I won't run into you in line at the sushi bar at At&T Park...

That's a big affirmative, Jim!

Sushi at a baseball park seems almost unAmerican . . . but healthier than cotton candy or nachos with industrial liquid cheese, I suppose.

Anyway . . .

Sushi at a baseball park seems almost unAmerican

but baseball isn't entirely American anymore either--we have Jpaanese, Cuban, south american, ... players, so it was pretty much a given that ballpark food would follow.

This is true!

And contrary to the opinion some here might have of me, I'm as little racist as it is possible for a white American to be, so I have zero problem with the melting pot and all the yummy food that it brings into our culture - because English and German food is nothing to write home about, for sure!

I'm not fond of sushi, but that's entirely a personal preference. There are many other Asian cuisines that I adore!

I'm not fond of sushi,

I'm more a Sashimi and Nigiri fan...

I like Sashimi better as well, but enjoy good sushi also (as well as nigiri).

And BSG, no need to defend yourself, I never thought of you as racist (even if you hate sushi), unlike MLB which has a long history of racism.

I just think it would be hard to eat during a game - like I'd love a Pad Thai joint in the ballpark, but also hard to eat?

Then again, as a poor cheap-seater, I forget that lots of people at the ballpark are in swank boxes and/or sections where they are seating at tables and not stuffed into seats that they can barely move without disturbing their neighbor.

I think they've had sushi at Camden Yard for some time now--at least on the club level. But to me, I think it's like buying gas station sushi--you're taking a big chance (at least nothing can grow in those hot dogs). The one I couldn't believe were chocolate cups containing liquers--on a nice hot day you'd better drink them fast.

FWIW, I'd rather not eat at the park and go out afterwards, although I have been know to buy $12 Buds (when there was no other choice).
