Fair Warning – Baseball Season is Here!
As you may be aware I am a big baseball fan. Yesterday I attended the Mariners Opening Day game (Yeah! We won!). I will be attending 20 (maybe more) games over the next six months so a significant amount of my "dining experience" will be in a ballpark! I’m going to spare you today since I only had a cup of tea at yesterday’s game – it was pretty chilly even for an afternoon game! But over the next few months there may be some "reviews" of ballpark food. :-)
Now I know that not everyone is a baseball fan. Especially here on the West Coast, but in case you are and in case you want to take in a game maybe my experience will help you! SAFECO Field has several offerings and some can be pretty decent. And, of course, some are not. So I’ll let you know what’s a good bet for your visit. I did notice that they have replaced the main coffee/tea booth with a new, larger and (probably) improved facility. The lines were too long there so M and I made our way to the small booth near center field. In the past that has booth has produced a better cup of tea.
Okay, that’s it for today. You have been warned!

Hey C. Fool:Speaking of ballpark (or near-ballpark) dining…If you should ever take in a Cubs game at Wrigley Field, I\’d encourage you to try a Chicago-style hot dog. It\’s a bit like a hot dog with an all-you-can-eat salad bar piled on top.But keep away from Old Style beer. When in Chicago, drink Goose Island Honkers\’ Ale. I know. I lived there for fifteen years. Fifteen Chicago winters–little wonder I ended up in Spain!Cheers!Sal
Hi Sal ~ Nice to hear from you! Although I used to travel to Chicago on a regular basis I am sad to say that I never made it to Wrigley Field. But it\’s still on my list of "things to do". I love the idea of a salad on my hotdog – that makes it healthy, doesn\’t it?? I\’ll make a little note about the beers, too – you\’re not pulling my jester hat horns, you? Fifteen winters there is a long time! Chicago is great but with the humidity of the summers and the biting cold of the winters I\’m pretty sure I wouldn\’t be able to make it for fifteen years. The summers are worse for me, though. I can get some pretty big hair with the humidity! Makes it hard to get through doorways sometimes… :-) B
Oh no, no, no. I would NEVER joke about Goose Island Honkers Ale. If you should ever have a layover at O\’Hare Airport, grab a pint of it and a slice of Gino\’s East pizza. No joke. Oh no, no, no.Sal (big fan of rhubard pie)
