Roger's Centre Toronto

The Blue Jays are not always an American favorite for the major reason they are not from the U.S. Canada is not always a very welcoming place and the Roger's Centre makes it a little easier. If you are a Jays fan or just interested in a game you should always have a bite to eat and the favorite is the Bill Cosby. Shopsy's Bill Cosby sandwich is named after the comedian, especially since the hot corned beef, hot pastrami, and Swiss on a rye triple-decker

Dodger Stadium Los Angelas

The Dodgers lately have been arguable the best team in the National League, which makes attendance a great thing to have. You may enjoy watching Clayton Kershaw pitch or just the Dodgers but you will have to enjoy some Extreme Loaded Dogs at the game also. Extreme Loaded Dogs stand on the Loge level, where the Tailgate Dog mercifully buries a grilled Dodger Dog beneath a mountain of baked beans, potato salad, shredded cheese, and BBQ sauce.

Comerica Park Detroit

The Tigers are one of the best teams in Major League Baseball as of the last 4 years. What makes a game better than just watching the Tigers claw their way to victory is a Coney Dog. Coney Dogs are amazing but then again what combination of chili and a hot dog is not great? The Coney dog from Leo's Coney Island, an all-beef frank smothered in cumin-spiced beanless beef chili, and topped with chopped onions and shredded cheese.

Great American Ball Park Cincinatti

Some Ohio natives like the Cincinnati Reds, while others like different teams. I personally have had the Hot Mett from Great American Ball Park and it is wonderful. Some say that it is like a hot dog with more soul, it is hot smoked sausage. I personally would like to eat it with some mustard and some onions, that is what makes it good.

Fenway Park Boston

Fenway Park is one of the most historic parks in Major League Baseball and at some points has some very important teams in Major League history. If you like watching the Red Sox you will definitely enjoy the Lobster Roll! The meat comes from the claws and knuckles of fresh Maine lobster cooked just prior to each game. It's tossed with a mouth-watering mixture of butter, mayo, tarragon, sea salt, chopped celery, and chives, piled higher than Bill "Spaceman" Lee on a New England-style hot dog bun.

Citi Field New York

The Mets are not always a New York favorite but the Mama of Carona's sandwich is absolutely a Citi Field favorite. If you are stopping at Citi Field for the Subway series or just a regular game the Mama of Carona's sandwich is the way to go! The sandwich consists of a classic Italian hero with Genoa salami, pepper ham, and mozzarella on a semolina loaf. Just be sure to special-order the roasted peppers and marinated mushrooms, too.

Nationals Park Washington D.C

Watching the Nationals play at the recently built Nationals Park would be a dream come true for most fans. What else would someone want than watching Bryce Harper soar the Outfield while Stephen Strasburg throw a no hitter. I think to help soak in the D.C atmosphere you're going to need a bite to and what would be better than a Chili Dog? The Chili Bowl is a fan favorite in D.C and from what I've heard nothing can compare. The Chili Bowl is a spicy half-beef, half-pork smoked hot dog. Get it "all the way," which means doused in Ben's rich chili and topped with chopped onions and cheddar cheese.

Turner Field Atlanta

What is better than watching the Braves play at Turner Field? Eating a Georgia Dog while watching the Braves play at Turner Field. Nothing better than a hot dog and baseball, nothing! hot dog comes slathered in cole slaw and Vidalia onion relish.

Tropicana Field St. Petersburg

The Tampa Bay Rays have not always been a good baseball team. They are the youngest baseball team out of all 32, when the Devil Rays were founded in 1998. They changed the name and face of the organization to the Rays because they were not doing so well. The one thing that has done well for the Rays is the Food at Tropicana, the fans love the concessions, especially the Cuban Sandwich. The Cuban Sandwich consists of pressed sandwich on toasted Cuban bread filled with ham, pork, Genoa salami, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. It is a must have at a Rays game!\

Busch Stadium St. Louis

The Cardinals are one of the better teams in the MLB so the games are always wonderful. Any baseball fan knows that concession stand food is the absolute best for the taste buds and St. Louis is not different at all. Most think of hot dogs, burgers, nachos, pretzels, brats, and other foods that are sold in concession stands. Busch Stadium did it right by combining some of the well known ball park foods. A Bratzel Dog?!? A brat that is wrapped inside of a soft pretzel, sounds  a little bit like some world champion eating. I guess since the Cardinals are usually always in the Playoffs and have 11 world series championships which is second in MLB history. Stats like that mean you have to have Playoff and Championship caliber food and at Busch Stadium they do not come up short!

Petco Park San Diego

Now a days the Padres are not the most eventful team to watch, so when you attend a Game at Petco you are obviously going to need to fill up on some hunger! When most think of California they would think some kind of seafood but when you are at Petco you need the Carne Asada Fries. The Carne Asada Fries which pile all the meaty, cheesy, guac-y goodness of classic nachos onto a heapin' helpin' of French fries. The Padres are not the greatest team to watch but if you have some Carne Asada Fries, it will definitely make the game a little better.

PNC Park Pittsburgh

When at a Pirates game watching McCutchen soaring in Center field you're obviously going to become hungry and want some kind of food. The Capicola and Cheese sandwich looks like something that McCutchen would be diving for in Center field. The Capicola and Cheese sandwich comes with stuffed with spicy ham, provolone, tomatoes, cole slaw, and (of course) French fries. That seems to me like McCutchen would not be diving for anything for at least an hour or so.

Citizens Bank Park Philidelphia

When you think of Philly most would think Philly steak and cheese and do not get me wrong Citizens Bank Park has Philly Steak and cheese, but the Schmitter is the most known ball park necessity. Believe me Schmitter is not something they should name the sandwich maybe it takes you right to the thing that rhymes with it... I don't know but it is a must have when at a Phillies game. The Schmitter consists of grilled steak and salami with fried onions, tomatoes, "special sauce," and gobs of gooey cheese. The Schmitter is only available at a stand in Section 140, but it's well worth the wait. If it is only at one section then they definitely have to be professionals at making the Schmitter well worth everything.

The Coliseum Oakland California

Money ball is not the only thing that the A's are making money on. The Kalua Pork Nachos is nothing less than a Grand Slam in Oakland! The Kalua Pork Nachos consist of tender shredded pork with chips, guacamole, and jalapeƱos, served up in a miniature A's batting helmet. Nachos that come in a batting helmet?! Definitely a Grand Slam!


Camden Yards Baltimore

Baltimore is not just a huge sports town and the Orioles are not just the talk of Camden Yards but the Mac n Cheese dog is also a fan favorite in Baltimore. Honestly who doesn't love carbs?! Mac n Cheese on top of a Hot Dog... Sounds like heaven on earth! If you are even in Baltimore at an O's game stop at Stuggy's and get your Mac n Cheese Dog ON!!
