Summer is a time for heading to the ballpark to watch your favourite MLB team, and while you’re there it’s also time to sample an ever-growing menu way beyond the traditional hot dog and beer. Depending which ballpark you visit this summer, there are culinary creations that have to be on any fan’s “must eat” list. Today’s stop on our tour of amazing, must-try foods at MLB parks is in Baltimore, Maryland and the home of the Baltimore Orioles, Camden Yards.
The biggest problem I have with the list below of must-try foods at Camden Yards is that I need to plan my visit to ensure I can stay for a four game homestand to ensure plenty of time to try all of these. Thankfully for two of them, my sources have provided me with the recipe!

The legendary Bacon on a Stick: Perhaps the only way to truly improve on cold beer is to add bacon. Genius. Here is how to make your own:
1) Center cut Hungarian Slab Bacon-4lb average. 2) Slice it into 5 oz. portions. 3) Skewer the slices 4)Pan sear slices on both sides 3-5 minutes each until caramelized. 5) Place caramelized bacon on a stick into a rotisserie smoker at 275 degrees for 45 minutes. 6) Dip the smoked bacon in maple syrup infused with Old Bay and finish on the grill. 7) The finished product is placed in Natty Boh Beer Bottles for presentation and served to our customers.
The Walk Off: Perhaps the most amazing pretzel in history? Why, yes it is.
Ingredients: Braided Pretzel Loaf, Local Roma Old Bay Sausage, House made Old Bay Crab dip
Preparation: Split braided pretzel loaf and fill with Old Bay Sausage. Top with Old Bay Crab Dip and finish in appropriate heating apparatus until internal temp of 165 degrees F.
Crab Waffle Fries (with Old Bay crab dip): The legendary fries that many have attempted to make on their own… Can’t be duplicated. Have to go to Camden Yards and try the real thing.
Triple Crown Sandwich: A Esskay hot dog topped with a thick serving of Bacon-on-a-stick plus pulled pork in a bun.
