As the home opener slowly comes forth upon our waiting souls, the Phillies and ARAMARK© decided to ask the members and manager of the Fightins (sadly, not us) about their favorite concessions at the ballpark.
Shane Victorino was first to be interrogated, and he made a fine choice.
“I have to give it to The Bull,” center fielder Shane Victorino said of the popular pulled pork sandwich found at Bull’s BBQ, named after former Phillies slugger Greg “The Bull” Luzinski. “That stuff is good.”
But don’t fret, Tony Luke’s and Campo’s junkies: He had good things to say about Tony’s chicken cheesesteak (delicious), and Campo’s ‘Heater’, which he apparently had trouble to eat without dying or speaking Spanish
“This thing is en fuego,” Victorino said.
Mr. Manuel agreed with the Hawaiian, and went on to put his thoughts on food the way you would expect him to:
“The ribs they have at Bull’s are good, and I eat at Tony Luke’s quite a bit,” Manuel said. “Really, what don’t I like?”
I doubt anything except for those dry, crunchless embarrassments known as Chicken Fingers. Even the sauce sucks. But Placido Polanco’s forehead went that and did his cold food thang:
…Polanco singled out Planet Hoagie as his favorite Ashburn Alley option, choosing the turkey, lettuce and Swiss cheese hoagie for its healthy appeal.
Now that is how you stay in shape, people. It’s also how you have a bad taste in food, so be careful. And of course, as we all know, Crabfries are the best food at the Bank. That, and hopefully after this year, our new signature hot dog:
Philly Insider Michael Klein scooped The South Philly’s victory Thursday morning, garnering 46% of the vote. It blew away the pretzel-rolled Summer Hot Dog (32%), and the apparently unaffected-by-my-push Olde Philadelphia dog (22%).
The South’s an all beef with broccoli rabe, spicy roasted peppers, and sharp provie on an Italian roll. The more I think about it, the more it sounds delicious. What’s not delicious: it’ll run ya $5.75. Needless to say, it might be a second choice (along with everything else) on Dollar Dog Nights.

I wonder how many more times the “Polanco’s a Pussy” tag will be used.
game recap? wtf the game is over, how long does it take to write it? god dammit
/asshole’d
charlies opinion gives me another reason to openly profess my love of him to my family and strangers
oh and im definitely likin this Jose Contrares guy
prolly spelled his last name wrong but w/e
Oh goddamnit I am hungry now.
schmitter…no contest. best sandwich to play 3rd base ever
SJU BABY!!!
Good thing Pat’s gone…they would’ve asked him what he likes to eat and he would have just said, “Pussy” with a straight face…
i’m surprised polanco can run ’round the bases so fast with that huge ass head of his
I thought Cholly only at nurtisystem stuff, haha
Maybe Polanco’s giant head helps propel him farther along, and his body is just trying to keep up so he doesn’t fall on his face.
someone mangled a few sentences.
And of course, as we all know, Crabfries are the best food at the Bank.
The Crabfries are fantastic, no doubt, but being in Pittsburgh like I am, I would kill a drifter for a Schmitter.
The South Philly dog was actually pretty gross. the rabe and provolone just didn’t work well with the hot dog. I can only imagine that the online voting carried it because of the south philly/rabe/prov tradition.
I was leaning towards the Olde Philly dog before I actually tasted them, then was surprised by the Summer Dog. Dammit.
wheres the love for the schitter? that thing needs more respect
schmitter that is
Hello, I just thought I would post and inform you that your website layout is really messed up on the Firefox browser. Seems to work OK in IE though. Anyways keep up the good work.
