what to eat: citi field

One of this past weekends highlights was the Mets-Phillies (aka: Philth) game on Friday night. Game wise - it was terrible. The Mets had their asses handed to them by the Phils, but on the bright side they swept the series. Guess I'm not as great a good luck charm as I'd like to think I am.

Win or lose, Citi Field is always a great time.

So, what should you eat? Everything. Okay, maybe not everything.

Yes, Citi has Shake Shack and Blue Smoke. Yes, both are amazing establishments; but I don't know about you, but when I go to a ballgame, I don't want to spend half of the game on line for some meat. Especially since there's a Shake Shack in my hood and Blue Smoke is a quick bus or subway ride away.

Personally, I look forward to three things at Citi Field: 1) a filet mignon steak sandwich with the works at Pat LaFrieda's, 2) garlic parmesan fries with every dipping sauce I can get my hands on from Box Frites; and 3) beer! Anything from the basic Bud Light to breweries across the states on tap, generally at the Big Apple Brew. 

yes, please

As you can tell from beautiful shit show that is our Friday night dinner, I was in food heaven. Also, please note that all that food was for four people, not two. I gorged myself but nothing too crazy that can't be worked off. There are actually plenty of healthier food choices at Citi but I can promise you, this is the most delicious. When a Philly fan around my age looked at our steak sandwich and questioned if it was a philly cheesesteak, I had to clarify that it was a filet mignon steak sandwich that happened to have cheese on it - and it is infinitely better than any philly cheesesteak at Citizen's Bank Park. He gave the sandwich a second look and agreed. That's how good our food is - even Philthy fans agree!

I've been to my fair share of baseball stadiums and although I'm bias, I feel confident proclaiming that Citi Field really has this food game on lock.
