Eating at Dodger Stadium

I've spent a few years apart from Dodger Stadium, but this year, I've been going once or twice a month. To quote Jimmy Pardo, when I go to a game, "I eat like an asshole". So much consumption has made me a bit of an expert. Some tips:

When at Dodger Stadium, make sure the hot dog stand say "Grilled Dodger Dogs". The steamed ones are griggedy-gross.

If given the option, ice cream beats frozen yogurt, but don't count on either, because they always run out. Skip the Dippin' Dots, the so-called ice cream of the future.

You'll make better Super Pretzels at home, even in the microwave. Save your money.

Those Jack FM mustard and ketchup dispensers have no functional logic. Approach with caution.

Camachos has great nachos and tacos- I'm partial to the carnitas.

The souvenir cup is a good deal, you get more soda and a cheap memento.

The italian ices at the cheesesteak place are wack and cost as much as a gigantic ice cream cone. I've yet to try the cheesesteaks.

Best nearby meal I've had is at Phillipes on Alameda. Go before the game because they close at 10. The original French Dip sandwich and 65¢ lemonade.

Let me guess, the Superpretzel part made you cry remembering the split salt on the countertop of Laguna Court?

And I agree about the wackness of Dippin Dots; a pointless, expensive novelty that is neither a currently refreshing refreshment, nor the futures premier choice of Iced cream.
