Dodger Stadium: New Food and More for 2016

It's Time for Dodger Baseball!

 

I guess you could say this is my field of dreams moment.

Invited by the Los Angeles Dodgers

to preview the menu items from Levy Restaurants,

view some of the promotional items for the upcoming season
and a VIP tour of the stadium.

Arrived at the Stadium Club.
12 hours prior, I was in Austin wrapping
up a pop up at SXSW.

Met with Jason Tingley,

Executive Chef Dodger Stadium

on this season's new menu items

and we talked BBQ.

Here's this season's starting lineup:

 Specialty Nachos Verde

with tomatillo verde sauce, pickled jalapeños,

and fresco Cotija Queso over tortilla chips.

I love tomatillo verde sauce,
so yes, I'm a fan...

 A Healthy Option,

The Chicken Verde Sandwich

with a grilled chicken breast on telera bread

with jalapeño aioli, lettuce, tomato, and

tomatillo verde sauce.

Served at the Healthy Carts, AMPM, Marketplace,

and Tony's Stand through out the park.

Shock Top Bratwurst

A spicy pork bratwurst link with Shock Top beer 

and served on a buttered New England style roll

with caramelized onions and spicy brown mustard.

Available at the Think Blue BBQ behind the 

Left Field Pavilion.

 Smoked BBQ Wings Bundle

with 15 smoked chicken wings tossed in their

secret BBQ sauce, served with fries and veggie

sticks and comes with 2 soft drinks.

Served at the Think Blue BBQ

A very good BBQ sauce,
I wonder if they'll ever bottle and
sell it at the stadium?

 The King's Hawaiian Dog

with an all-beef quarter pound dog topped off with

a pineapple salsa and served on a

King's Hawaiian bun.

Funny, I was hanging out with
King's Hawaiian team
at SXSW in Austin.

Maybe it's a Hawaii thing, but
I enjoyed this dog.

Gouda Kobe Burger

a 1/3 lb premium wagyu beef ("Kobe" beef) burger

topped off with caramelized onions,

pickles, and special dressing.

This burger really should be named after 

Kobe Bryant's last season, it's just that good.  

Not a lot of frills, but a solid good burger.
It was one of my favorites of the new menu items.

 Let's climb to the Top of the Park

and see what's going on at Dodger Stadium.

If you've never been on a tour of Dodger Stadium,

I do suggest taking one of the daily tours.

 Jackie Robinson's jersey

The man who broke the color barrier

and who's number is retired on every

major league team, he started as a Dodger.

 Frank Sinatra's seats at Dodger Stadium

A friend of Hall of Famer, Tommy Lasorda.

 One of the World Championship trophies,

this one was for 1988.

This is the year Kirk Gibson hit the home run...

We visited the Vin Scully Press Box
before the private tour was over.

Hard to believe this will be Vin Scully's 67th
season (and last) as the voice of the Dodgers.
Not sure what next year will be like,
but glad that we were fortunate to have
him broadcast this long.

It's always an honor to be given a VIP tour

by Janet Marie Smith,

the person responsible for the planning and 

development of upgrading Dodger Stadium

(the 3rd oldest ballpark in MLB).

I've been fortunate to have traveled around

to 22 of the 30 MLB ballparks.  Although

Dodger Stadium is home, it's

in my Top 5 favorite ballparks.

Getting ready for Opening Day 2016!

There's always something happening
at Dodger Stadium, besides baseball...

I always look forward to Opening Day
and beginning of baseball season.  They
did a great job on the food, promotional items,
and stadium amenities.  I'm looking forward
to attending a few games this season!

I was fortunate to be invited in 2014 
and sample food from the new outfield
restaurants.  See more HERE

Thank You!
