Like Ballpark Food, Only Better

You’ve long had one rule about the World Series: never attend Game 1. Okay, not really, but you have your reasons for skipping AT&T Park tonight. And yet, you crave ballpark food. And a pristine view of Lincecum’s hair. Herewith, five ballpark-adjacent places to get both.

DOG WHISPERER

The Snack: Hot Dogs and Beer

The Stretch: Instead of whatever’s in a typical dog, Rosamunde’s giving you Duck—100% duck and fig sausage on a French roll. They’re also giving you a dollar off craft brews until 7pm—which should be around the time Timmy Ks Josh Hamilton for the third time.
The Screens: Two flat-screens and a big projector screen

WINGMAN

The Snack: Wings

The Stretch: This place is serving up game-day specials like duck nachos and homemade corn dogs. But we say go for the Chicken Wing Confit—the wings aren’t merely deep-fried, they’re slowly cooked in their own rendered fat beforehand. A more acceptable take on double dipping...
The Screens: One high-def flat-screen, with the surround sound turned way up

SLIP ’N’ SLIDE

The Snack: Sliders

The Stretch: After hours of braising in Chimay, the pork in these pulled-pork sandwiches (served on Hawaiian sweet buns) tastes almost like a pint of brew. How this connects to the Giants, we can’t say, but it can’t hurt to find out.
The Screens: Four flat-screens, including one on the patio

POP FRY

The Snack: Popcorn

The Stretch: Here, the popcorn is dusted with curry—like something you’d find in a ballpark in Delhi. (Though you’d be watching cricket.) If you’re craving fries, note that they’re covered in truffle oil and parmesan instead of salt. And suddenly, you’re craving fries...
The Screens: 13 flat-screens, one measuring in at 82 inches

BROWN SUGAR

The Snack: Cracker Jacks

The Stretch: Yoshi’s makes its own Cracker Jacks with popcorn, roasted peanuts, molasses and a syrup from Okinawa called kuro-mitsu (translated as “black honey”). No prizes, but you’ll settle for a Giants win.
The Screens: It’s a hardcore jazz club, but the flat-screen in the lounge will be tuned in.
