Ballpark Specialty Hotdog

So, I thought barelfly was gonna take this and run... So what is your team's specialty hotdog?..

The WORLD SERIES DEFENDING CHAMPION TEXAS RANGERS!!!, offer the Boomstick (previously named the Nellie Cruz Boomstick, which might change to the El Bombi Boomstick) for $35 that is reported to feed 4... Comes with a variety of different toppings and yes everything is actually bigger in Texas, but does yours also come with it's own Topps Baseball Trading Card?

I’ve heard about that sucker, dang she’s a beauty 👍👏

well…….pardon my tardiness! But excellent thread topic if I don’t say so myself 😂

Citi Field, home of the New York Mets - searching I didn’t really find a specialty hot dog, but Citi Field was mentioned as one of the best stadiums for overall food. They even serve Birria Tacos!!!!!

but….this is what I found as probably the most unique hot dog. It is called a Chiddy Dog, from Chiddy’s Cheesesteaks. A Nathan’s hot dog topped with steak, red onions, Cheez Whiz, and jalapenos on a bun. The cheesesteak photos I saw look great, not sure I’d go with this though. And maybe it really is good.

looks great....until you try eating it while sitting in your seat at the ballpark.

True, but alot of what I would eat at my seat isn't designed to eat at the seat..

True enough.
I generally like to get to the park early so I can eat, and then go to my seat and enjoy the game. I generally don't spend much money on concessions anyway. Plus, the seats are cramped enough for just sitting. trying to eat just isn't worth it to me.

Gotta tip my hat to the Rangers on that one.

It's challenging to find the current iteration of the preimum hotdog -- often called the 'Crawford Dog' (named after the icon Crawford Box seats) -- at Minute Maid Park (Astros). It does change often, actually yearly.

Here is the current iteration:

The Pennant Pickle Dog: Texas Chili foot-long dog with jalapeño slaw, dill aioli, fried pickle chips, and green onion. (Probably not served on a bed of dill as shown.) $15.49.



While not a hot dog (it is a corn dog) here is one I'd get....

Curveball Corn Dogs: six mini-corndogs topped with chili (no beans, of course), cheese, and diced onions. $12.99. (Alas, probably not actually served on skewers.)
