The Best New Foods to Savor at Dodger Stadium This Season
The Hype Is Real
If you’ve ever strolled through Dodger Stadium, you might have found yourself captivated by the mouthwatering offerings beyond the classic Dodger Dog and beloved garlic fries. This season, a new lineup of culinary delights is redefining the ballgame snack experience. Just last Wednesday, as I indulged in a towering Slugger hot dog, I became a culinary celebrity among fellow fans. Everyone was asking, “Where did you get that?” and “Can I have a bite?”
Wondering what’s hot this season? Let’s dive into the newest and most talked-about food offerings at Dodger Stadium!
1. The Slugger at Think Blue BBQ in Left-Field Pavilion – $39.99
Meet the 16-inch monster that’s capturing hearts and appetites alike, the Slugger! Crafted by executive chef Christine Gerriets, this jalapeño cheddar sausage demands attention. Nestled in an oversized bun, it’s adorned with cheese sauce, corn relish, tortilla strips, and a drizzle of cilantro cream.
While it’s undoubtedly an intimidating sight, sharing is key unless you’re ready to conquer this gargantuan treat solo. As you navigate the crowded stadium with your Slugger in tow, expect to draw attention and maybe a few envious looks!
2. Korean Fried Chicken Bowl at Fan Fare in Loge 133 – $24.99
Nestled in a generous mound is a bed of fluffy white rice paired with crispy nuggets of fried chicken. The chicken is coated in a thick gochujang glaze, adding a sweet and spicy kick to every mouthful. Topped with creamy coleslaw, it’s the perfect antidote to warm stadium nights.
3. Home Run Platter at Delicious Hospitality in Field 8 – $34.99
This epic platter combines teriyaki chicken, a heap of rice, crispy spring rolls, fried dumplings, and blistered shishito peppers. Gerriets’ team has truly elevated this dish from its past offerings, and it’s perfect for sharing—if you can bear to give up a single bite!
4. Loaded BBQ Baked Potato at Think Blue BBQ in Left-Field Pavilion – $24.99
Be prepared for this hefty spud coated in a tempting blend of macaroni and cheese, barbecue sauce, and fried onions. While my potato had the firmness more fitting for a boulder than a fluffy snack, the array of toppings made this dish a satisfying adventure, preventing it from striking out.
5. Pastrami Burger at Fan Fare in Reserve 31 and Field 10 – $19.99
A meaty delight, this pastrami burger features a hefty pile of pastrami blanketing an American cheese-laden patty. For the pastrami lovers out there, this is a must-try. Just be prepared to get a bit messy!
6. Sweet Bread Sundae at 7th Inning Sweets in Reserve 2 – $13.99
To finish off your culinary exploration, indulge in the sweet bread sundae. A crumbled quesadilla salvadoreña over soft-serve ice cream, it creates a delightful balance of crunchy and creamy, ensuring you leave the game on a sweet note.
7. Dill Pickle Tots at Top Deck 5 – $11.99
For something a little quirky, grab the dill pickle tots. Crispy and hot, they’re a less intense flavor of pickles, paired perfectly with ranch for your dipping pleasure.
8. Takoyaki Umami at Gindaco in Field 45 – $16.99
Finally, sample the Takoyaki umami from the new Gindaco stand. These perfectly cooked octopus fritters deliver rich flavor and texture unlike anything else at Dodger Stadium, and they are readily becoming a fan favorite.
Conclusion
Dodger Stadium’s revamped menu is a true home run for food lovers! Whether you’re sharing the substantial Slugger or indulging in the sweet bread sundae, there’s something to tantalize every palate. So the next time you’re at the ballpark, step outside the ordinary and savor these delicious offerings that elevate your game day experience!
