Listen, I will be the first to admit that food and baseball go hand-in-hand. Every game, during the 7th inning stretch we sing our love affair (some better than others) with ballpark food. Peanuts and Crackerjacks, along with hot dogs, chicken tenders and nachos are almost guaranteed to be on the menu at every single ballpark.
Sure, you know exactly what you’re going to get when you order chicken tenders and fries. It’s almost the same everywhere, as if ballparks grow them on trees; you know how even the best tenders, aren’t exactly “tasty” (I sometimes even question if they are edible).
I am here to tell you: stop buying that food.
Recently, I took a little trip, just outside section 65, to a relatively new stand: The Chipper. The great thing about this stand is its simple pricing. $9 for a regular and $14 for the large portion. Pick any one of their options and pay the same amount. Spicy chicken or even crab? Yup, same price. I pulled out $14 and splurged on the Crab Chipper.
Say (Extra) Cheese!
Every one of the Chipper’s dishes comes with kettle cooked chips and a topping. The crab chipper is cheese, crab meat, and…well, that’s pretty much it. Here’s the thing: they absolutely LOAD the toppings on there. Sure, you’re not getting jumbo-lump meat, but it’ll cure your crab craving and again, $14? Yeah. $14. I mean, look how much is on there:
Seriously, THAT was only $14
The crab was decent. The chips were fantastic. The cheese was perfectly cheesy. I actually cannot come up with a better way to spend $14 in the stadium (excluding alcoholic offerings, naturally).
With the help of a friend, we were able to put a serious hurting on these chips, going from this:
“Om sowwwy. Mouf full.”
To this:
Nacho-less Libre
In under 15 minutes.
I enthusiastically give the Crab Chipper 4.5 Meaty Heads out of 5.
You get generous portions of crab meat, chips and cheese. For $14. No chance you are leaving the stadium hungry after ordering this.
