I just read your comment about the kettlekorn at fenway. it is nice to hear since i am the person that introduced the product there. we just finished our third year there and it ended with a phone call today with aramark telling me they no longer need my services. they are going to try to do it on their own. very disappointing but it will be interesting to see how it is next season.

good point about the hotdogs at the chicago parks–they are vastly inferior to the ones you can get every single place outside the stadia. i used to park my car in front of my friend rudi’s condo, buy two Demon Dogs (from a famous, now defunct stand under the red line stop at Fullerton), and take the L up to wrigley.

more recently, i discovered Hot Dougs–they make all their own hot dogs in house, naming each redhot for something of current note: their spicy hot dog is called The Keira Knightley (it’s “mighty hot!”) and their Italian sausage The Frankie “Five Angels” Pentangeli (“Keep your friends close, your sausage closer”). beware long lines though, especially friday and saturdays when they offer french fries fried in duck fat. hit Hot Dougs and then wander up to addison to take the bus east to wrigley: amazing.

PS–Hot Dougs has the glorious distinction of being the only place issued a citation for violating the now-overturned foie gras ban: they made hot dog out of it. only in chitown.

If you find yourself in Seattle again, I recommend the Safeco Field garlic fries, washed down with a cup of Ivar’s clam chowda, er, chowder.
