Angel Stadium Food "Upgrades" Announced

Every blog and media outlet got this email today from the Angels and J. Neubauer's ARAmark food-selling company. 

While the variety has demonstrably improved, there is no word form the Angels as to whether the slow as molasses community rehab "look it is my first job and a politician's cousin is getting millions to administer a simple, ineffective program that sounds good on paper and does little else" concession employees will be ensuring you miss more of the game or that the actual "quality" of the food has improved (lot of bread and slathered-in-mayo-based sauces and vinegar-based glazes indicate you are getting hormone-enriched flavorless animal tissue and not much else).

And do they mention the price or portion size? HA! But still... looks like they are catering o the OC's love of its own assumed "classiness" and will have wine for your cougar and beer for your boss and candy for Bill McDonald's prey. Read on...

Reinvented Classic Ball Park Fare

This has me a bit alarmed. Re-invented?

Clyde Wright, former player, will be signing autographs

He’s showing up to EVERY GAME? What a trooper.

Reinvented: That is "comfort speak" locally here in OC for

homogenized, processed, yet prettified according to the standards of the Food Channel, and flavor enhanced through the heavy use of kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper, regurgitation of all the frozen stuffs that did not sell out last year.

bammo

Stirrups hit that one out of the park!

That's good!

At first I thought it just meant that they cleaned out the condiment pumps and put out new rat traps.

Clyde Wright

Does he still run a pitching school out of Home Run Park in Anaheim?

Yup

I was there at the cages today. Well, it’s still called “Clyde Wright’s Pitching School” or something like that. I don’t know if he’s personally involved but it still has his name.

Wonder how much an extreme hot dog is going to cost
45 days off the back end of your life.
nah man

I always order diet coke.
Saves me at mcdonalds, and saves me in this situation as well.

I for one..

would like to see them bring back fresh popped popcorn. That pre-packaged stuff they sell just isn’t the same as getting a bag of warm popcorn. Can’t wait to try the Panini grill, it sounds yummy.

Cool ...

Where will they selling the whale meat?

Clyde Wright’s BBQ

down the way from

Mo Vaughn’s Refrigerator (Gate 2) – Assorted leftovers from maurice’s frigidaire

so no "Bartolo's Chicken & Waffles & Bacon"?
Dude, Bartolla is mexican

not Black

Bartolla

LOL @ Me

I think I might have to start using the name Bartolla

…but usually when I refer to him as “Fatty” people know who I’m talking about.

Hopefully by re-invented they don’t mean the same thing as our re-invented water here in OC….

Sigh

I still wish they’d come up with some kind of plan to allow taco trucks in the lot, all the more so now that trucks aren’t just for tacos anymore. It would be great if one could grab some asada or pastor tacos, a Kogi taco, something from the nom nom truck or Dumpling Station before the game. Burgers made with grass-fed beef from the Patty Wagon?

Damn

I like that idea.

f'n

b r i l l i a n t

Now THAT’S a good idea!

Would there be any money it for the Halos or the City?

If not…never happen.

i could see them leasing stalls in the parking lot

specially as a pressure tactic to ARAmark when it is time to negotiate the next deal.

mmmmm Kogi taco!
What are the rats going to eat?
CHIX

We were excited to try some of the new food choices. On Thurs. 4/1 we made the mistake of going to CHIX. From the time that we arrived we waited 25 minutes for a chicken sandwich. Do you think we will ever go back? Shame on them. It was us and 10 servers/chefs. The sandwich wasn’t even good and there wasn’t enough chicken to see without a magnifying glass. The worst is that they weren’t concerned about our wait!

Write to Tim Mead (I think he's the right guy to contact).
Anyone try Major League Dogs?

I’ll be in 426 tonight, so I thought I might give that a try.
