food is horribly expensive at ball parks, I would have to take out a loan. Everything is expensive at the ballparks, especially the big city ones. |

Most ballparks allow you to bring food & bottled water in, which is what we usually do. Still need 1 or 2 cold brews. They'll get you one way or the other. |

It must be PA because it just seemed normal to put ketchup on your dog where I grew up. We also liked to drink birch beer with our dogs, so maybe we were just goofy!? I was born in Scranton as was my mom and dad. I've probably had ketchup on a dog as a ute but never as an adult. Might explain my Mom's ketchup on steak choice. I did enjoy a good birch beer from time to time. A woman I know had a first husband who always had ketchup with steak, no matter how exclusive or expensive the restaurant. The waiter once sneered at him for requesting it. This was in Chicago. Of course, they obliged, with a silver ramekin. Upon leaving, the restaurant learned that he was CEO of Dominos’ Sugar and Trappey’s Foods. Had the waiter not sneered he would have received a tip of several hundred dollars at a table for two. |

To each their own. Is that a PA thing? I'm good with mustard & onion at a minimum. Nothing like a hot dog at the ballpark...and I don't care what the dog is made of. It must be PA because it just seemed normal to put ketchup on your dog where I grew up. We also liked to drink birch beer with our dogs, so maybe we were just goofy!? It crossed the line into MD, too. Although I didn’t do it of course… ketchup AND mustard for most. As I’ve gotten older I prefer beef dogs, but as a kid I was usually blissfully unaware of the meat in the dogs… |

I went on a trip specifically to buy meat. It was educational in that I didn’t spend as much as I thought I would. It opened my eyes to how much prices have increased on the other, non-meat products… |

I'm watching the O's vs White Sox game and I keep seeing ads for Chicago style Vienna hot dogs and I really want one. My favorite hot dog and haven't had one in years. As the famous American, Homer Simpson once said, "drool, drool". Hey chi, can you help me out? When I still lived in NJ, I worked next to a mom and pop pizza place that served the best Italian Hot Dogs. Anyone ever had one? Yes, just recently. The toppings reminded me of a Italian sausage and peppers hero. Funny, that I never even saw one in any NYC Italian American neighborhood that I lived in or visited. |

Chicago folks like to put all that stuff on a hot dog, but no Ketchup! Put ketchup on a dog and they think you're weird.  Ketchup on a hot dog? I have mine with mustard, sauerkraut, and onions. |

Inger would be picking and brushing things off like an archeologist. I’d have to send it through a car wash before eating all that “stuff” on there…  |

As a kid I started eating hotdogs with mustard, sauerkraut, and onions because my uncle told me "that's how Babe Ruth used to eat them".

Yep, the one addition though is potatos and while it might sound crazy, it works. |
