Once again, it's that time of year when baseball games happen incessantly throughout the week. I allowed Ian to drag me to a Nationals/Phillies game last night, along with and courtesy of our friend Robert, who graciously arranged for free admission courtesy of some of his many rich and powerful lobbyist friends.
The food inside the stadium was exhorbitantly expensive for tiny servings. I had a barbecued pulled pork sandwich from the Red Hot & Blue stand that couldn't have been more than three or three and a half inches in diameter for $9.75! There was just a little piece of dry, bare pork on there, and even with sauce, it didn't perk up. I found a margarita at Cantina Marina that was tasty, though low in tequila. After my disappointing sandwich, I started to get one of those little mini pizzas, but the ones I saw looked dessicated and nasty; I ended up with stadium nachos and lots of fiery hot jalapeno slices.
Robert was enjoying the plethora of beers available inside, though at $6.50 per little plastic cup, I think he limited himself to three or four. Robert also had (that I saw) a big half smoke sausage and a big pretzel. Ian had his usual chicken fingers and fries with a $4 can of Pepsi. I thought the chicken looked overcooked and dry. Later, he got his traditional Dippin' Dots.
I wonder if the food service will be better (and cheaper!) when they move to the new stadium next year?
