Dodger Dogs All You Can Eat
A friend told me that the Dodger Dogs in the All You Can Eat section are NOT grilled. Is that true?
-
i sat there once for the ayce and they are not grilled. as someone else has posted there are a few stands that offer them grilled and it does in fact say grilled on the awning.
i will be in the ayce section on thursday for the giants game so i'll ask if they have grilled.
also, if you ever eat a dodger dog make sure it's the super dodger dog which is all beef. while not leaps and bounds over other hot dogs they do taste way better then the regular dodger dog.

I made the mistake of buying tickets in the all you can eat section. It's run/catered by AM/PM and you can tell from the first bite. The hot dogs are not dodger dogs. Nothing is good.

RoachCoach, thanks for the reply.. Now I know why they hace those $25 AM/PM discount nights. I thought that it was regular Dodger Food. I know from the website there is a 4 unit limit item per line or you need to wait in line again. No Ice Cream too. Are you sure they were not Farmer John Dodger Dogs, that would be a big disappointment grilled or not..

They were indeed steamed, and waiting on huge racks for the hordes of hungry fans. It's pretty much insanity, especially at the beginning of the game, with mass quantities of nachos, peanuts, and hot dogs flying out of the stands they have set up. Drinks are entirely self-serve, as are the condiments (which they seem to run out of very quickly after refilling). They serve beer, but that obviously costs extra.
In all honesty, I've lived in LA my whole life and don't recall Dodger dogs ever being GOOD. They just tasted better because you're starving and at a ball game and I'm usually having a few beers.

I've been going to baseball games since I was a very small writergirl, but not in LA. I had always heard that Dodger Dogs were really good, and the hot dogs in other stadiums paled in comparison. So when I went to Dodger Stadium for the first time I just HAD to have a dog. I think Dodger Dogs are better than a lot of stadium dogs, but not as good as I had been led to believe. I do think that in general, stadium food has gotten better over the years.

Dodger Dogs are manufactured by Farmer John, a longtime sponsor of the Dodgers. Just google "Farmer John Dodger Dogs" and you'll find them. There are no particular toppings. Toppings available at the stadium are basic: mustard, ketchup, onions, relish. There might be spicy mustard, too. I forget. Grilled is best, definitely.

They are made locally in nearby Vernon, CA. In Southern California, you can buy them at places like Smart & Final, though I don't think you have that store out East. They are also sold at other sports venues (without the "Dodger" in the name), such as Staples Center.

re: RoachCoach
I'm really curious about this - the food is different in the AYCE section? is it a different brand of hot dogs? or a different preparation?
I imagine AYCE to be no frills, but would be surprised if they use different products, especially since they clearly say "For a mere $35, fans get a ticket in the right field bleachers and unlimited Dodgers Dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn, and Coca-Cola products"http://www.scoreboardgourmet.com/sg/2...
would love to hear more.

My season tickets are in the loge section, where Rodger works. I always get my peanuts thrown to me by Rodger.
Yes there are stands that say Grilled. If it doesn't say grilled, I don't buy my hot dog there.
But the all you can eat section is in the pavilion and they aren't "connected" to the main part of the stadium. I have heard that in the pavilion the Dodger Dogs are NOT grilled but I haven't sat in the pavilion since the 70's.

Dodger Dogs, by definition, are not grilled. They're steamed.

Having been a season ticket holder to Dodger Stadium since 1975, Dodger Dogs were always grilled. In the early 90's the Dodgers switched companies and forced all all Dodger Dogs to be steamed. They also prevent legendary "Peanut Man" Rodger Owens from throwing peanuts to fans.

was at the game on 7/16 and the guy who works every venue in town and yells "nuts nuts nuts" was still throwing them. My 10 year old liked that.. as to the grilled vs steamed in the AYCE area. call the stadium they will tell you. Numbers in the phone book..

In the early 90s, yes, the Dodgers switched their concession company to ARAMARK. But that contract has since expired and is now handled by Levy Restaurants.
Most Dodger Dogs were steamed, but a number of stands do offer them grilled.
The problem is that there is only one kitchen in the entire stadium to grill them (which is one of the many reasons why service is so slow at the concession stands). Eventually the Dodgers will be constructing more kitchens.
