8 Must-Eat Baseball Stadium Foods Across Canada

Posted by Dan Clapson on April 15, 2016

When you think of ballpark fare, chances are the first things that come to mind are peanuts, hot dogs and pizza. But stadiums are really stepping up their game and hitting it out of the park when it comes to ballpark nosh. If you're planning on catching a game this season, here are some of the best eats you can find at stadiums across the country.

Chef Dave’s Dugout

1 of 8

Lakehill Little League (Victoria, BC)

A very honourable mention must go out to this little food stand on Vancouver Island, where kids play minor league baseball. <a href="http://lakehill.pointstreaksites.com/view/lakehill/about-us-174/chef-daves-menu" target="_blank">Chef Dave Roger or Dave's Dugout</a> is giving parents another great reason to catch their kids’ ball games. Try the Wild Pitch B.C. Salmon Burger: seared local salmon is topped with a red onion marmalade, lemon-pepper mayo, lettuce and tomato.

Feel like getting a little messy? Opt for their House-Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich: BBQ smoked pork topped with housemade cilantro slaw, dill pickle.
Clay Oven

Shaw Park (Winnipeg, MB)

When's the last time you sat down with a plate of Indian food at a sporting event? If it’s a rainy-day game, a bowl of warm basmati rice topped with an aromatic Butter Chicken from <a href="http://www.clayoven.ca/winnipeg-clay-oven-locations/clay-oven-downtown-at-shaw-park/" target="_blank">Clay Oven</a> will certainly hit the spot. The restaurant has a few locations throughout Winnipeg, including a restaurant at Shaw Park where the Winnipeg Goldeyes play ball. Looks like Clay Oven has got all their bases covered!

Shaw Park (Winnipeg, MB)

For the vegetarian fans, Clay Oven serves up big samosas filled with potatoes, peas and fragrant Indian spices, served surrounded in a tamarind sauce for dipping. Dishes sans-cutlery are always easier to eat while watching the game, especially if you have little ones in-tow.

Nat Bailey Stadium (Vancouver, BC)

Though a Vancouverite’s love for the Canucks runs deep, during their off-season, fans move to <a href="http://www.milb.com/index.jsp?sid=t435" target="_blank">this field to cheer on the Vancouver Canadians</a> — a professional baseball team that’s also the farm team for the Toronto Blue Jays. In terms of food, nothing seems out of the ordinary at first glance, but you’ll soon notice sushi platters on the menu as well as juicy breakfast burgers. <a href="https://letsgrababurger.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/scotiabank-field-at-nat-bailey-stadium/" target="_blank">The Nooner burger</a>, a breakfast sandwich topped with a fried egg, cheddar cheese and crispy bacon, can also double as the perfect hangover cure if you’re catching a game on a weekend afternoon after a night on the town!
ROGERS CENTRE

Rogers Centre (Toronto, ON)

With concessions on all levels of <a href="http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/tor/fan_forum/food_experience.jsp" target="_blank">this giant stadium</a>, you’ll find everything from basic slices of pizza and salads to vegetarian hot dogs and more. But there are more interesting dishes to try while cheering on the Blue Jays. Go Jays, go! While you're there, get your hands on some Mini Sugared Doughnuts from T.O. Street Eats: These handcrafted little bites of heaven served with a Crème Anglaise dipping sauce make for an easy dish to dive into in-between cheers (or boos).

Another must-eat is T.O. Street Eats' Chicken and Waffles on a Stick: fussing with a fork and a knife sitting in the nosebleeds is less than ideal, so luckily for us, Street Eats has got you covered — just add a little drizzle of their maple Sriracha drizzle and you’re all set.

Rogers Centre (Toronto, ON)

Vegetarians, rejoice! There’s no need to pack your own snack of carrots and hummus while your friends nosh on delicious ballpark fare. Try T.O. Street Eats' Buffalo Cauliflower Poutine, a fresh new spin on the classic Canadian favourite that features light and crispy fried cauliflower tossed in a tangy Buffalo sauce and topped with cheese curds and gravy. <a href="dansgoodside.com/" target="_blank">Dan Clapson</a> is a food writer and culinary instructor based out of Calgary.
