Opening weekend and not a hotdog was stirring

On March 26, 2008

 

There's more than nachos being served up at Dodgers Stadium

OK, so you can always get a sloppy chili dog in the stands. But should you want to take it up a few notches...

We are less than a week away from Opening Day at Dodger Stadium, and not only are the players putting on their game faces, so are the chefs who supply dishes to the many restaurants and concession stands on site.

Levy Restaurants, which supplies the noshes to the pricier seats, last week unveiled the season's new menus for the stadium's 33 luxury suites.

There will be six menus, including the Chef's Harvest, which caters to diners who want their food organic and sustainably grown. In fact, executive chef Joseph Martin said Levy Restaurants is trying to include as many sustainable/organic ingredients as it can, across the board.

Other new menus include the Throw Back, which features meatloaf and sloppy Joes; and a kid's menu, with grilled chicken tenders. Each menu is for 12 people, and prices vary per menu.

Items can also be bought a la carte.

But what of those in the cheaper seats? A number of new restaurants and concession stands have been added to every level of the ballpark, including Canter's Deli, Ruby's Diner, Camacho's Cantina and Mrs. Beasley's bakery.

Levy Restaurants has 27 portable carts throughout the stadium, including one at the Loge level that offers healthy alternatives, including hummus, veggie wraps and fruit.

For some true-blue-bleeding fans, though, there's no food worth eating at Chavez Ravine other than the good old Dodger Dog. They are still grilled, and the recipe is unchanged, promised Martin. And for those who love the dogs but have dietary concerns, they also come in veggie and kosher varieties.
