In all the excitement we were reminded of our last trip to Busch Stadium, where we were pleasantly surprised to find some veggie-friendly food options other than the standard popcorn and pretzels. Since then we have done some research and found that many ballparks across the country have had their ears to the ground and are making their concession stands more accessible to vegans and vegetarians. Yankee Stadium offers a garden burger and a roasted eggplant panini among many other meatless dishes, and Target Field (home of the Minnesota Twins) boasts veggie hot dogs, burritos, kabobs, and stir fry.
In honor of this promising trend towards healthier eating, we decided to support our team by making our own versions of ballpark goodies. We were patting ourselves on the back for our "totchos" (baked tater tot nachos) and the veggie dogs were also quite tasty. To seal the deal, we got a Schlafly sampler pack, which is brewed right in St. Louis!
For a closer look at how ballparks are expanding their menus for meat-free folks, have a look here and here.
