What to Eat at Yankee Stadium

Everybody loves to eat at baseball games: hot dogs, peanuts, pretzels, popcorn - they are every part of the ballpark experience as watching the game itself. Culinary standards have soared in recent years, and I've had some excellent food at A.T. & T. Park in San Francisco, Citizens Bank Park in Philly, Camden Yards in Baltimore.

At the new Yankee Stadium, my first and only choice is the superb steak sandwich (pictured) from the Lobel's concession stand at field level. It's a generous helping of USDA Prime Rib, drenched in au jus, and served on an onion brioche bun. There are small containers of excellent horseradish on the side. I always ask the server for extra rare, and they usually oblige. Fifteen bucks, but this sandwich is absolutely delicious. Lobel's of New York has been one the great butchers and meat suppliers in the city for years, and it stands far and above the other food merchants at Yankee Stadium: Carl's Cheesesteaks, Brother Jimmy's BBQ, Johnny Rockets, Moe's Southwest Grill, Famiglia Pizza, Noodle Bowl, etc., etc. One you've got your Lobel's sandwich, head over to Garlic Fries ($5), and then to the Beers of the World stand for a $11 draught beer. Enjoy the game!
