The craziest stadium food in Canada

Posted on by

When you go to a baseball game, whether it be the Vancouver Canadians, the Toronto Blue jays, or even your kids little league game, what’s the thing that hits the spot the most? 

It’s that overpriced stadium hot dog. Its got all that flavor from the, who knows how long that’s been sitting there, roller rack. But that mystery meat has got all the vibes of a ball game between that 50-cent bun and off brand ketchup. Yum. 

Last week I wrote about the abomination that was the Toronto Blue Jays new menu item, the cotton candy blue mayo fries. And that got me thinking, what are some of the most “out there options” when it comes to stadium foods that you can try right now! 

 

Circling back to the classic hot dog. Nat Bailey Stadium, home of the Vancouver Canadians, offers a 3 ft long hot dog called the Yard Dog. 

Topped with mustard and enough onions to make your breath go sour by looking at it. The Yard God is on the list not just because it perfectly encapsulates the classic culture of baseball in Vancouver, but for its sheer size and absurdity. I mean the packaging it comes with is long enough to be installed as a gutter on someone’s house. 

How would you attack this? Are you supposed to cut it up and share it with three to four friends? Or are you just supposed to try to wolf down this monstrosity by yourself?  

There’s definitely no joke to be made there. Don’t even think about it. 

 

Heading back over to the East side of the country, The Toronto Blue Jays continue to raise eyebrows with their new food items to kick off their season. And despite coming off a run to the world series, these aren’t exactly winning style options. 

And this one sounds like it was named by Timon and Pumbaa from the Lion King. I give you, the Grub Tub. Its about the size of those plastic buckets kinds build sandcastles on the beach with.  

The Grub Tub is positively filled the brim with fries and the option of chicken tenders or brisket sliders. The is, you can drink from the same dish via a long straw that goes through the fried goods, and into the soda at the bottom. Sensational!  

It’s not even about the food here, it’s the holding compartment. It looks like when all those influencers would try to hold their McDonalds take out box on top of their drink. Neat idea, but in reality, it doesn’t look far off from some kind of elaborate dog food bowl. 

 

For the top spot, it’s still the Cotton Candy Fries.  

I have never seen anything more ridiculous and obvious social media baiting than this food item. At least in Canada, the States is a different story.  

Rogers Stadium and the Toronto Blue Jays should be shamed for this until they take it off the menu, which I don’t expect to be long. I mean, how many people would order this? How many overpriced adult beverages would you need to guzzle down before you even think about stuffing some fries smothered in mystery blue mayonnaise and topped with carnival candy into your pie hole. Have some respect for yourself.  

Its not cool, or unique, and it’s not in the spirit of the game or baseball culture. This is worse than what someone with a serious case of the munchies would put together after an all-day sesh on April 20th.  

But don’t let some salty college kid get you down. Stadium food is supposed to be wacky and fun. It’s part of the ballgame experience.  

That being said, if you ever talk about how much you love the blue Cotton Candy Fries on social media, I will block you.
