This sandwich is an awesome combo of steak and cheese and fried salami, fried onions and a special sauce. No, it’s not good for you. Yes, it is good… very. Dig in. 

 

 

5. Gilroy Garlic Fries, AT&T Park, San Francisco

 

Fans line up before opening pitch for these fries, named for Gilroy, California, the ‘Garlic Capital of the World.’ They are delicious and the garlic isn’t overpowering. Definitely worth the wait.

 

 

6. Gates Bar-B-Q, Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City

 

Kansas City is known for its barbeque, and Gates is one of the main purveyors. They have joints throughout the region and, fortunately, one at The K for baseball fans. Dig into a barbequed sandwich and you may never go back to hot dogs.

 

 

7. Dodger Dog, Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles

 

We had to have a traditional dog on here somewhere, so we’re going with the Dodger Dog. The devotion Dodgers fans have to this delicacy says something. The Mike Piazza trade caused a ruckus, but it was nothing compared to the outcry in normally staid LA when the team switched from grilled Dodger Dogs to steamed in 2003.

 

You can now get it both ways, but ask for it grilled or risk looking like a rookie. Some visitors who try it for the first time are underwhelmed but, hey, millions of Dodgers fans can’t be wrong, can they?

 

 

8. Primanti Bros. sandwich, PNC Park, Pittsburgh

 

This is a local institution. You can order a variety of meats on Italian bread, and it’ll come smothered in slaw and fries...on the sandwich. That’s the key.

 

 

9. Sea Dog
