No you're not going for the food, and I'm not bothering with a coherent review. I was hungry over the course of a recent Phillies game, so I eat and drank my way around the park. I'm still pissed I missed a Ryan Howard homer by standing in line for Rick's.
First, if you pay $8 for an aluminum bottle of Bud Light, you're a moron. I don't know what sacred power that a gimmick metal bottle provides, but you can enjoy better beer (Lager, Flying Fish, Anchor I can't remember) for $6.50 (deep discount!) at brewerytown. Getting past the 2 beer limit is possible, but expensive and requires walking to multiple food stands.
The steak fight is a no contest. Rick's makes it steaks fresh, while Tony Luke's uses a lamp. I ate Tony Luke's last year, but they have not changed. Rick's are exactly like their Reading Terminal location, and I have not had a chance to go to Tony Luke's in South Philly. The longer wait in the Rick's line is worth it, even if you miss a Ryan Howard home run.
Bull's BBQ is also a tasty food stand. The pulled pork sandwich is spicy yet expensive for a kaiser roll. You can also see Greg Luszinski, he spends his time in a booth, kinda like Santa.
Finally, these items both suck and are too expensive: popcorn and fries. Buying either is futile. Buy a super pretzel or a steak.
GO PHILS
