What is the must-have food item offered at the ballpark and what makes it so good?
" Tony Luke's cheesesteak with wiz, onions and a Yuengling" " For me, it's the vegetarian cheesesteak. Its price is comparable to those at outside restaurants, and it's great tasting" " A schmitter. Very unique to the area. Nowadays all cheesesteaks are made the same in Philly, so it really tends to be the unique food. And some crab fries from Chickie & Petes." " Local microbrews for less than it costs for standard domestics at most parks, satellite locations of two cheesesteak luminaries, a sandwich that owes its name to the best third baseman of all time and crab fries with provolone cheese sauce. All delicious, all reasonably priced [even if the lines get long], in a city that puts a premium on hometown favorites. I won't choose as a matter of principle." " Turkey leg. It's huge and isn't that expensive -- you get your fill!"
