Matzo Balls and Baseball

Like most Dodger fans, I go to the games to cheer on the Boys in Blue, to check out the celebrity quotient ("Look! It's Hef and the girls!") and to eat a Dodger Dog. Indeed, like most Dodger fans, it's the Dodger Dog that comes first – I can always catch a double play on the instant replay. And in fact, more hot dogs are sold at Dodger Stadium than at any other stadium in America. But in recent years, the culinary options at the stadium have expanded logarithmically. These days, you can get a slice at California Pizza Kitchen, some kung pao at Panda Express, a burger at Ruby's Diner, nachos at Camacho's Cantina, cookies from Mrs. Beasley's and, starting this year, mile-high corned-beef-and-pastrami sandwiches at the newly opened Canter's delicatessen stand. It sits on the stadium's field level, on the third-base side. Along with deli sandwiches, there's matzo-ball soup, coleslaw, potato salad and kosher pickles. Which may necessitate a rewrite of the line in "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" about "peanuts and Cracker Jack"; these days, it's "BBQ chicken pizza and corned beef sliced lean."
