This year Camden Yards is adding a classic Reuben to the concessions roster, and I’m sure it’s good, but there’s no way I’m choosing that over any of these inventive and twisted items I can’t get anywhere else. With that in mind, here are three brand-new menu items worth knowing about:
+ The Half-smoke Sausage. A sausage from Roma’s Gourmet covered with grilled barbecue onions, according to the Sun. WJZ claims it’s going to be Old Bay-ified, too. Get it from das Sausage House or Jack Daniel’s Grill.
+ The Crab Roll. On the face of it, the least far-out of the trio. It’s a cold crab-salad sandwich, the Baltimore version of the New England lobster roll. Dempsey’s Brew Pub executive chef Josh Distenfeld expects it to be “a nice cold sandwich during the hot summer months here.”
+ The Early Bird Dog. This is one of those why-didn’t-I-think-of-it items: an Esskay hot dog getting cozy with bacon, a fried egg, and cheese. Get it at Stuggy’s on Eutaw Street.
Let’s go O’s!
