City Paper's James Beale critiques Philly stadium grub on FanFoodie
 |
James Beale, proprietor of CP's Sports Complex, shares his honest take on the food at Citizens Bank Park on FanFoodie, a blog that looks to "the premiere locally-based sports bloggers on the web to offer their culinary tips and suggestions when rooting for the home team."
The truth about Stadium food at CBP is that — aside from the surprisingly excellent Bull's BBQ, where you can cop a Turkey Leg that could double as a club in a pinch and catch Phillies legend Greg "The Bull" Luzinski mingling with the crowds outside — it's made for outsiders. Is it dope that Tony Luke's is making your sandwich? Yeah, of course, but smart locals are copping one from the original half a dozen blocks away and bringing it in anyway. I've heard plenty of people rave about McNally’s Schmitter, never the native Chestnut Hillers who grew up drinking beers at the original McNally's while their fathers sat at the other end of the bar and pretended not to see them.
Despite what Beale deems to be "faults of standards" with some of CBP's offerings, he still shows love to many aspects of the Bank grubbing experience, from Harry the K's to the stadium's renowned vegetarian options.
