I agree with your Italian beef - dipped with giardiniera.

However, Portillo's beef and cheddar croissant is very popular. I've never had it and only mentioned the cheddar because that's how the sandwich normally comes. It's Kyle Schwarber's favorite, however.

One food stand has a salad - I got it with hot dogs etc for others, I think. The salad is definitely not ballpark food and yes, that’s what I carried back to my seat :-)

You got a salad at a baseball game--am I reading this correctly?

at Wrigley - so yes, baseball. I love big salads and small salads. One of my favorite former restaurant luncheon meals was a short stack of pancakes, side salad, and side of fries.

I've heard of breakfast for dinner, but not whatever that is.

Tonight's dinner is a grilled chicken sandwich topped with melted cheese, served on a pretzel roll, with a side of fries and a side of green beans.

I love salads too. I also like Peking Duck and pasta Carbonara but I am not going to eat any of those at a baseball game. Oh well, you must not be the only one if they have them there.

Dinner was 2 eggs over easy, sourdough toast, bacon.

I'd take duck pancakes at a stadium. That would be fantastic. Much better than the warm beer and cold pie I usually end up with.

Dinner last night was takeaway pad-see-ew with chicken and a couple of satay skewers.

Finally roasted beets for the first time in a few years. Delicious alone and then a slice of beef with a cheeseburger on roll-ppang. Maybe I’ll try making a salad sandwich for an upcoming luncheon.

Beer and pie?
It would never occur to me to have anything but beer and a hot dog (or 2) at a baseball game. All these other things are just wrong.

You put beets and a slice of beef on a cheeseburger? Shudder.

A pie, not pie. And a meat pie not a fruit pie. The pie is like the hot dog in America. Every petrol station sells them and they run the fully span from petrol station pies right through to hipster gourmet things.

You go to watch sport in Australia and you're eating a pie, not a hot dog.

Got it. I was picturing a slice of lemon meringue pie at the concession stand.

Tonight, one of my favorite meals. Shrimp Aguachili with lots of fresh tortilla chips from a small mom and pop in Eureka, CA. that has become a go-to for us.

Thank you, Voice of Reason.

Actually, I'd suggest any type of sausage on a bun is acceptable, but the local hot dog variant is required the first time you visit any ballpark (I've been to about half). The only exception I've found so far is in Milwaukee, it's a brat with "stadium sauce" instead of a dog.

You need to discover sodium citrate. You can buy a tub of it from amazon. Melt any cheese with a little liquid, like water or stock or beer or wine, and add a teaspoon of sodium citrate. It emulsifies the fat in the cheese and turns any cheese into a melty velveeta consistency.
