Opening Day 2007: AT&T Park's Many Concessions
The 2007 baseball season officially begins in a couple hours as the Giants host the Padres, so we thought we'd take this opportunity to remind everyone of one of the best dining destinations in all of the Bay Area: AT&T Park. No other sporting venue in the country can match the myriad gourmet food stands sprinkled throughout the home of the Gigantes. Hell, AT&T Park has better food options than most cities (cough cough Fresno).
So, If you're stuck in an office today, our advice is to play hookey and enjoy the waterfront view of the most picturesque sporting venue in the country. The forecast: low 70s with a slight breeze and lots of sunshine. That's baseball-watching, hot dog-eating weather.
After the jump: the list of our favorite dining options in AT&T Park, including some garlicky ones (the famed fries and a 40-clove garlic chicken sandwich) and a few undiscovered gems.
