What do foodies eat at the ballpark? Last night findyourinnerfoodie was invited to the prestigious Diamond Club at Houston’s Minute Maid park to watch the Houston Astros vs the Florida Marlins. Inside the Diamond Club, which is located behind home plate, they have a variety of foods available. We ate veal parmesan along with chicken and dumplings with gnocchi. It is an all you can eat club for the folks lucky enough to have a ticket. You can watch the game from inside the Diamond Club or bring your food with you to your seats behind home plate. This is often where George and Barbara Bush can be found, but there was no sign of them last night. The food was good, but was there something missing? All of the foodies I was with, still had the urge to have that good ole fashion ballpark hotdog. Foodie or not, how can you go to the ballpark and not have one? Seems un-American. Baseball is founded on tradition. Even in the golden age of football, baseball still holds on to the title of America’s pastime. When you have that hotdog at the ballpark, it takes you back to your childhood and you remember that game you went to as a kid. Sure it’s only a hotdog, but it seems to equate to something more. So next time you are at the ballpark, order that hotdog. Grab a beer. Be a kid again. Save the fine dining for another day. You will be glad you did.
