The Orioles officially announced today via press release a majority of their plans for the new concession items in 2011. After partnering with Delaware North Sports Sportservice, the group has set off on their $11 million project to enhance the concession items sold at Oriole Park, as well as signage and menus, too.
New items at the Yard include crab cakes, Berger cookies, a new Big Boog sandwich, steak & egg sandwiches, and more!
Below, find some photos I recently took of some of the new concession stands as well as information about new menu items available at Oriole Park this coming season!
Foods making their debut at the ballpark this season (along with brief descriptions):
Camden Yards Crab Cake: Sportservice chefs got their inspiration for the Camden Yards Crab Cake by sampling the Maryland favorite at more than 50 restaurants in the region. The exclusive crab cake for Oriole Park’s concessions and premium areas is made with all-jumbo lump crabmeat and served with cocktail and tartar sauces, fresh lemons, crackers and Tabasco®.
*Available at the Old Bay Seafood® satellite stand and on the club level
The Birdland Dog: Sportservice created The Birdland Dog by topping the crowd-pleasing Esskay
hotdog with the tastes of Baltimore: smoked pit beef, Little Italy pepperoni hash, stewed tomato
jam and crispy, fried onions. Nestled in a fresh bakery bun, it’s a hot dog that eats like a meal.
*Available at Polock Johnny’s Famous Polish Sausage stands and on the club level
Polock Johnny’s Sausage: A Baltimore favorite from the popular eatery in the Lexington Market,
this brand holds true to its 1921 slogan: “Polock Johnny is my name. Polish sausage is my game.”
*Available at Polock Johnny’s Famous Polish Sausage stands and on the club level
O’s Pretzel: These tasty pretzels are hand-rolled and formed in the Orioles script “O.” Sportservice
chefs make them from scratch daily, baking and basting them in butter and finishing each pretzel
with a sprinkling of kosher salt. Fans can dip them in their favorite condiment, but we predict many
will love them just the way they are.
*Available at the Hand-Rolled Pretzel stand on the first-base side of the main concourse
Chop House Steak & Egg Sandwich: Sportservice uses certified Angus skirt steak, marinated and served with balsamic onions, horseradish cream and Gouda cheese. A fried egg is the finishing
touch.
*Available at the Baltimore Chop House stand and on the club level
Beer-Battered Soft-Shell Crab Sandwich: This new sandwich features Chesapeake Bay soft-shell crab, battered in a mixture of National Bohemian Beer and Old Bay® spices, lightly fried and served on a fresh roll. With local taste as the driving force, this sandwich is a sure home run.
*Available at the Old Bay Seafood® satellite stand and on the club level
Little Italy Meatball Sub: A nod to the traditions of Baltimore’s Italian community, the meatballs are made right at the ballpark with San Marzano tomatoes, Pecorino Romano cheese, basil, garlic and other ingredients. Sportservice chefs hand-roll and finish the meatballs with dry white wine.
*Available at the By the Slice Pizza stands and on the club level
Rolling Crab: Our roller grills aren’t just for hot dogs anymore. Sportservice’s spiced-up crabmeat
option boasts a spring roll filled with crab meat, peppers, pepper jack cheese and various secret
spices. Flash-fried and then served from a traditional roller grill, the Rolling Crab satisfies one of
Baltimore’s most sought-after tastes with a Tex-Mex flair.
*Available at the Old Bay Seafood® satellite stand
Boog’s BBQ: One of the most recognizable brands in the ballpark returns with a rich variety of pit
beef, pork and turkey sandwiches. The meat is seasoned with Boog’s signature barbeque rub,
smoked and then charred on an open flame. This year we’re introducing the Big Boog – twice the
meat with the same great flavor.
*As always, available at Boog’s BBQ on Eutaw Street
Old Bay® Wings: These jumbo wings are fried to perfection and tossed with local favorite Old Bay® Seasoning. Move over, Buffalo wings, Baltimore Wings are in the house.
*Available at Das Sausage Haus stands and on the suite menu
Natty Boh Brat: What do you get when you take a traditional bratwurst and infuse it with the great
taste of National Bohemian Beer? A signature item for Orioles fans that is now available at Oriole
Park at Camden Yards.
*Available at Das Sausage Haus stands
Berger Cookies: The signature Berger Cookie – a vanilla wafer topped with a thick layer of
chocolate ganache – has been one of Baltimore’s local treats since the Berger family brought it
from Germany in 1835. There’s a reason it’s been around for 175 years: It was perfect from the
start.
*Available on the club level but also might be available in concessions in the future
Baltimore Wedge Salad: This new salad features grape tomatoes, crispy bacon, green onions,
garbanzo beans, peas and bleu cheese, topped with red wine vinaigrette. It’s a dynamic field of
greens for one of baseball’s most innovative ballparks.
*Available on the suite menu.
I cannot even begin to imagine what half those items are going to cost.
Polock Johnny’s!The Unburger!
@Tim Anderson – I hope to be back down at the park either later this week or sometime next week (or both) and hope to get a glimpse at the menus once they go up.
Still think that Boog’s is one of the best bargains at the yard. Pit beef sandy, beans, cole slaw, around $10. That’s about what you would pay anywhere.
