A Night At The Ballpark

You know, Readers, you may be noticing a trend on the blog here.

I’ve been reviewing a lot of hot dogs/sausages recently, but I swear there is a good reason.
It’s summertime.
And for me, summertime means two things: baseball and hot dogs.
Not surprisingly, this entry combines both of them, as I spent my Monday evening watching the Phillies beat the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
A cool summer evening, Roy “Doc” Halladay on the mound, a good rivaly, and lots of excitement. In this atmosphere at Chavez Ravine, the only thing missing is a legendary Dodger Dog, but for this blog, I don’t do the mundane or even the “slightly-not-so-good-for-you” sandwiches, as you know.
For you, I optioned for the “Doyer Dog.”
This footlong all-beef hot dog is grilled, and covered with chili, nacho cheese, jalapenos, tomatoes, and onions.
Wow.

This hot dog was the brainchild of someone who obviously loves ballpark food. This is the epitome of stomach destroying food that makes ballparks so special. Where else could you eat something like this and be able to write it off?
Eating this hot dog is an absolute mess. I had to avoid spilling one of its many condiments on my Chase Utley jersey throughout the challenge of eating it. I mean, first of all, how do you even start? It’s not the easiest sandwich to handle.

That being said, this monstrosity of a sandwich is one that should be enjoyed not only by those visiting Dodger Stadium, but also anyone hosting a barbecue for the summer. So the next time you’re at the supermarket, make sure you stock up on these extra ingredients, and enjoy your very own Doyer Dog in the comforts of your own home as the baseball season starts to heat up
Until next week, Readers…

Update: I also attended Tuesday night’s game and again danced with the Doyer Dog. My stomach may not appreciate it, so I hope that you all understand that I put myself at great risk to bring you the best in sandwich reviews.
Also, shout out to Robert Grossman for hooking us up with tickets on Monday night. Thanks!

I was there Monday and Tuesday as well. I couldn’t decide between Halladay or Lee, and then I realized why choose, I can go to both! One of my friends said something about the Doyer Dog looking disgusting, I’ll have them read your review!

[…] I’ve written about the world famous Dodger Dog before (all-beef only, please) and I’ve talked how I enjoyed it, but really I think the experience was influenced by my love of the game, and seeing baseball in person. […]
