Pulled Pork Nachos

Pulled Pork Nachos

                When thinking of a day at the ball park one might imagine the green grass, the roar of the crowd, and the crack of the bat.  These things are wonderful sights and sounds that make a ball park experience great and memorable, but there are few things that I look forward to most at Baum Stadium than the smell of the food.  The scent can be caught all around and there are many different flavors to enjoy.

                This week I want to highlight my personal favorite, the pulled pork nachos.  A bed of tortilla chips covered in seasoned, moist pulled pork butt topped with queso is a messy but more than satisfying treat.  I almost always request jalapenos on mine and drown it in barbeque sauce.  This is absolutely a meal that requires a fork so make sure you do not reach your seat without one (as well as a handful of napkins). 

                This dish is not served in the built in concession stands, but can be found only in a portable trailer down the left field line just outside of the Norm Debriyn Concourse.  This trailer also serves barbeque sandwiches, burgers and fries.  The nachos are $7.00 and the jalapenos are no extra cost.  There is a table just to the side of the trailer where you can find lettuce, tomato, onion, barbeque sauce and other condiments as well as napkins. 

                It is rare to see the trailer without a line snaked around a couple times in front of it, especially before the game or in between innings.  Likewise, it is rare to see someone walking away from the trailer with something in their hands other than the nachos, especially if that person is me.
