...as long as its for french fries, I have no issues. But it doesn't belong anywhere near a hot dog.......unless you are a 6 year old.

I don't lose my mind if someone puts ketchup on a hot dog (I don't, I'm not a heathen), but if someone puts it on a burger?
Put them in jail.

disagree. The sweetness of ketchup pairs perfectly with the savory flavor of a hot dog.
now sausage is a different story, yellow mustard only

OT: - Food Glorious Food thread.
In an effort to find something to bring us together what better than food? Favorite dishes? Recipes? Cooking tips? Great places to grab a bite? How’s about some dessert? Go for it.

“No, I won't condemn anyone for putting ketchup on a hot dog. This is the land of the free. And if someone wants to put ketchup on a hot dog and actually eat the awful thing, that is their right. It is also their right to put mayo or chocolate syrup or toenail clippings or cat hair on a hot dog. Sure, it would be disgusting and perverted, and they would be shaming themselves and their loved ones. But under our system of government, it is their right to be barbarians.” ---Mike Royko

To get us back on track talkin' baseball.....
What's the best ballpark food you ever had? Mine are (in no particular order):
- Fenway Hot Dogs with those weird buns
- Camden Yards Waffle Fries covered with lump crab dip
- Petco (San Diego) fish tacos
- Milwaukee Usinger's bratwurst with the secret stadium sauce
- Chicago White Sox (whatever the hell they're calling their park now) corned beef sandwich

I love Dodgers Dogs. Simple, big, and tasty.
But typically I don't eat anything special when I go to a ballpark. Hot dogs, peanuts, beer/soda is all I want. Maybe an ice cream if it's really hot or a hot chocolate if it's really cold.
I'm pretty sure I tried Boogs BBQ in Camden but I don't remember so it couldn't have been that good.

Very simple
Hamburger ketchup
Hot dogs mustard
For me my ‘in case of emergency break glass’ food is 2 Kayem hot dogs on the grill with mustard and either Lays honey bbq or kettle chips

The top-sliced, New England-style hot dog bun is the superior bun, especially when the sides have been toasted.

I don't know if it's still there but back in 2019 there was a group section in Dodger Stadium with all-you-can eat concessions included. You just walked down to this private concourse and grabbed from a pile of dodger dogs and soda cups. That was great. It was intended for special groups but the tickets wound up on StubHub. If that still exists I'd like to go again (though now instead of $30 each they're probably going to be $80 each).
Aside from that nothing really stands out. Fenway Franks are Fenway Franks. When I went to Petco last year I think I split tacos with someone. And once got nachos from a souvenir helmet in Anaheim that my friend from out of town wanted to get. But I don't think I've ever had anything at a ballpark that made me all that excited.
Related note, in the summer between my freshman and sophomore years I did work concessions at the Fisher Cats' stadium in Manchester. It was all basic minor league shit, but at the end of the night we could eat the remaining perishable food, and I learned that putting the nacho cheese on top of anything (dogs, burgers, chicken strips, fries, etc.) made it better.
Oracle Park - Cha Cha Bowl, Garic Fries
Petco - Agree with the fish tacos
Citi Field - Dole Whip
Camden Yards - Boog Powell BBQ, overrated but still a solid choice
Wrigley Field - Northside Twist Giant Soft Pretzel

Fenway - Sausage King (Since the street counts as part of the stadium experience on game day, Im counting it)
McCoy - ice cream in a helmet (mostly the nostalgia)
Turner Field - pulled pork
LA - Dodger Dog, they live up to the hype
Most of the time I stick to dogs or sausage so havent delved into the specialties as much so cant comment on food at other stadiums like Chase Field, Progressive, Petco, Skydome, Camden
