Thanks for sending in this week's take, Ellie. Finally I can talk about my one true passion: food. Ballpark concessions have definitely stepped up their game since the early 1900s classic options of a hot dog and a pretzel, but these items still remain the top choices for any baseball fan. Unfortunately, as Ellie correctly points out, ballpark prices have gone up astronomically. For the sake of this article, I will be using Fenway Park as my main source. Customers have reported paying over $30 for a glass of wine, nearly a 1000% markup from store price, assuming the bottle is priced around $20 and not imported from Chablis that afternoon. Now, markups are expected for any alcohol sales, but a 1000% markup is characteristic of a three Michelin star restaurant, not a concessions stand serving wine in plastic cups. The meal options can also spike drastically with options going as high as a lobster roll for $38 or a meal at the Dell Technologies Club, which can cost upwards of $8,000 to reserve. So, I agree with Ellie that the only food that’s really worth your money is the classic Fenway Frank, which is a decent size and priced at around $6. However, as the self-respecting foodie I am, I would like to try and map out some alternative options so anyone who reads this can try and get a good deal at Fenway. The first item I would recommend is the sausage and peppers from any of the Sweet Italian Sausage stands. These are around $11 and are decently bigger than the Fenway Franks. The stands will also sell drinks about as cheap as you can get them, about $5-6 for a can of soda. For a more “New England” experience, get the clam chowder in a bread bowl from the Soup Shack on Jersey Street for $14.99, which is also a pretty good size for the price. Some of the trendier items also have a decent price for the quality you receive, such as the “Cowboy Up” burger for $16 or the Green Monster fries for $14, both from Truly Terrace. Almost all of the ice cream is a scam, because it comes in the little baseball caps or other novelty containers, which you won’t want to keep anyway. In conclusion, good and reasonably priced ballpark food is hard to find, but there are still some great options.
