ORDER UP! 🌭 |
| Welcome to The Group Chat, where sports and culture meet and mingle. What unites travel enthusiasts, foodies, and baseball fans? One word: glizzies. Hot dogs are the most iconic food of the summer and America's national pastime — and as MLB stadiums engage in an arms race of outrageous concessions, hot dogs have remained a key draw for foodies and travelers alike.

| 💙 The influencer — LA Dodgers: Just like your favorite LA-based content creator, the Dodger Dog embraces the "clean girl aesthetic": a 10-inch dog, steamed or grilled, with all the classic toppings. It's the best-selling hot dog in the majors for a reason. ❤️🖤 The purist — Chicago Cubs & White Sox: No city is prouder of its signature glizzy than Chicago. Ordering a dog Chi-style at one of the city's two MLB parks is a sacred experience: mustard, sweet relish, chopped white onion, a dill pickle spear, pickled sport peppers, celery salt, a poppyseed bun, and absolutely no ketchup.  Source: The GIST ❤️ The big dog — Texas Rangers: Everything's bigger in Texas, including the Rangers' Boomstick, the biggest hot dog in MLB. It's 24 inches long (!!!) and weighs a pound, with popular toppings including chili, griddled onions, nacho cheese, and jalapeños. It's so huge, it has to come in a container with handles. Beefy. 💛 The maximalist — San Diego Padres: Over-the-top concessions are a hallmark of ballpark fare, and the most extra of them all has to be the San Diego Padres' Lob Dog. This surf-and-turf specialty includes lobster tail, chorizo sausage, and lemon garlic aioli, not to mention a whopping $39 price tag at Petco Park. |

| 💙 The hometown hero — Toronto Blue Jays: Some things just make sense, like MLB's only Canadian team, the Blue Jays, serving up a very Canadian poutine dog. A hot dog drenched in gravy and cheese curds — say less. ❤️ Best meat-free option — Atlanta Braves: If meat isn't your jam, check out PETA's top vegan-friendly MLB stadiums. Atlanta's Truist Park and local restaurant Slutty Vegan headlines the list, with meat-free twists on ballpark classics. |
| 💚 Best cultural exchange — Seattle Mariners: Seattle's known for their inventive approach to glizzies — their signature dog is slathered in cream cheese — but T-Mobile Park's nod to the city's Japanese-American heritage with the Sumo Dog is *chef's kiss*. Wasabi relish and furikake on a hot dog? Arigatō. ♥️ Most unexpected find — Boston Red Sox: This might be controversial, but sometimes a sausage from the stand right outside the stadium hits different, especially if it's from outside of Boston's Fenway Park. Trust.
