How to Have a Homerun Hot Dog Promotion

hot dogs and baseball

Here’s a baseball-themed hot dog promotion that’s easy to put together and to execute successfully. It’s wonderful as a single-day event, a limited-time offer or even as a fundraiser. Get inspired by the stadium dogs served at ballparks around the country, and offer a menu of five or six different ones to choose from. This could also be fun as food stations.

  • Chicago’s Wrigley Field: The classic Chicago dog – a Vienna-style dog topped with tomato, onion, relish, peppers, pickle and celery salt.
  • Baltimore’s Camden Yards: Hot dogs and sausages topped with crab dip.
  • Seattle’s Safeco Field: Hot Dogs wrapped in bacon and served with Jalapeno and chipotle cream.
  • Houston’s Minute Maid Park: They serve the Freddy Fender – a chorizo sausage wrapped in a corn tortilla and deep fried, and topped with tequila-braised onions, pico de gallo, cotija cheese and cilantro sour cream.
  • Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium: The Frito pie dog, loaded with chili cheese and Fritos.
  • Milwaukee’s Miller Park: An 18-inch brat on a freshly-baked roll with fried jalapenos, fried sauerkraut, chives, sour cream, fries, cheese sauce, gravy and cheese curds.
  • Pittsburg’s PNC Park: The Cuban dog with ham, pork, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on top of a hot dog.
  • Arizona’s Chase Field: An 18 inch corn dog served on a stick, stuffed with melted cheese and wrapped in six slices of bacon before being batter-fried.
  • Cincinnati’s Great American Ballpark: At the Red’s stadium it’s a hot dog topped with Skyline Chili and lots of shredded cheese.
  • Washington DC’s Nationals Park: The chili half-smoke is half beef and pork topped with chili, yellow mustard and chopped onions.
