What is the must-have food item offered at the ballpark and what makes it so good?
- "The nachos. Texas is the original place for the ballpark nacho. Gooey cheese and jalapenos can't be beat!"
- "Homemade pretzels. They make the dough, roll it into pretzel shape and cover it in butter. I have about three when I go to the Ballpark."
- "The fried catfish is a must-have when I go to the Ballpark."
- "Ultimate nachos. It's like a massive taco salad, too much for one person, even through nine innings"
- "The brisket. Slowly smoked, succulent and delicious. The filet mignon of Texas barbecue."
