American Family Field secured the second place in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards and brings you Wisconsin’s best. Three unique hot dog varieties, local bratwurst, world-famous cheese curds, and over 40 local breweries make this a highlight.
5. Guaranteed Rate Field – Chicago White Sox
This is where the extensive menu at the South Side stadium boasts all classic types of food, as well as more novel offerings. Cuban sandwiches, Vienna sausage with grilled onions—the list goes on and on, as well as comprehensive plant-based options through their partnership.
What’s driving the evolution of baseball stadium cuisine? Modern ballparks are moving beyond traditional hot dogs and peanuts, incorporating local flavors and dietary preferences.
