FOR ARIZONA BASEBALL FANS, A STADIUM BRATWURST MEANT TO 'BLOW THEIR MIND'
(NPR 18 Sept 2019)

For Arizona Diamondbacks fans who like to stick to the basics at home
games, peanuts, popcorn, and Cracker Jack remain obvious options. But
for those whose game-day taste borders on outrageous, Stephen Tilder,
executive chef at Chase Field in Phoenix, has some options.

You can get 18" bratwursts adorned with everything from tater tots to
fried eggs.

Chase Field is among the stadiums nationwide that now tout menus
brimming with outrageous edible novelties.

"We are always trying to create, basically, restaurant quality food in a ballpark," Tilder says. "When people come in we want to blow their
mind."

In March, Tilder - in collaboration with a Sports Illustrated reporter
-- created three new gigantic dogs for Diamondbacks' fans. One of those,
the SI Cover Dog (named after the magazine) is topped with jalapeño &
apple coleslaw, barbecue aioli, fried mac & cheese, house cured beer
pickles and green onion. It's all served between an onion bun.

simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Strain vegetables from the beer, skim some of the butter
off of the liquid and put all in a saute pan to brown a
bit before using as a condiment on the sandwiches.

Preheat grill for medium-high heat.

Lightly oil grate. Cook bratwurst on preheated grill for
10 to 14 minutes, turning occasionally to brown evenly.

Serve hot off the grill with onions and peppers and
stone-ground mustard on hoagie rolls. Off additional

If we go the DBacks it's at Salt River, for spring training they play there. Sharing the place with the Rockies. Never been to Chase Field.

I suspect I'll be long gone before they start playing there. IIRC the last game we watched last year, spring training, was in late March. Some of the teams were already bailing out to head home for the season opener.

I have to be back in Alaska no later than April 8 to meet my PFD requirements.
Since I plan on buying another used car, and drive it back, that means I have to leave there about 1 April. It's roughly 3,500 road miles.

I don't keep up with *any* of the jockstrap sports. I just knew you were
an Aridzona snowbird and sometimes attended beisbol practices. Last time
I paid any attention to baseball the only team with anything to do with Arizona was the (s)C(r)ubs - before they got all full of themselves and
lucked into a World Series win.

That's three longish days on the road and an easy cruise on the last
leg. Just set the cruise at nine over and let 'er eat. Bv)=
