Ballpark Food Challenge - Round 1 (#3 of 4)
You can find all entries at the main post here.
And now, Round 1 match-ups:
SNACK/FINGER FOOD REGION
(2) Montreal's "Blazers Blazing Nachos" vs (31) Jacksonville's "'Canes-Style Shrimp and Grits"
Probably the biggest lop-sided match-up in Round 1 but know knows, maybe there is such a thing as too many nachos and a more upscale and refined option like Jacksonville's Southern cuisine offering surprises everyone.
(15) Las Vegas' "Flamin Hot Wing Things" vs (18) Rockville's "Meat Pikes"
Wings or kabobs? You really can't go wrong. Rockville's more traditional take on bacon-wrapped skewers are a safe choice, but the popular deep-fried Flamin' Hot heron offerings could go deep in this tourney.
(7) Edmonton's "The Hot Mess" vs (26) Wichita's "Stelio's Spanakopita"
Classic Canadian up against traditional Greek. The two items couldn't be further apart from on another in appearance, taste, or experience. You could probably say the same for the two franchises as well.
(10) California's "The Joe Lacy Special" vs (23) Valencia's "Waffle Cone Chicken Poppers"
Not an easy first-round match-up for a 10-seed. California's simple-but-perfect-for-a-ballgame snack goes toe-to-toe with something you'd find in long lines at the state fair. Is there an upset brewing?

Re: Ballpark Food Challenge - Round 1 (#3 of 4)
I want you to picture yourself sitting in your seat watching a baseball game. The sun is shining down on you. A few rows down are three girls in spaghetti strap tank tops, all wearing the hometown team's baseball cap. In your right hand is a plastic cup full of ice cold beer. Now, wouldn't a basket of pretzels topped with several pickled eggs go well with this picture?
You're damn right it would!

Life is a bit more beautiful when time is measured by the half inning rather than the half hour.
