Food Ideas for Concession Stand......

[trojandad]

Getting to call a few shots this year that I wasn't privy to call last year, I decided to make our concession stand less to supply candies and more to supply meals for families to eat when they come to the game. We had some baked potatoes stuffed with barbq brisket last week that I ended up hurting myself on, they were good.

I saw a post about LaGrange's "tortilla wraps", I think was what they said. I guess I've never had them before. Does anyone have any meal items for concession stands that they think might be a good idea. If so, please educate me.

And yes, Pud, I'm still knockin those links on a stick out. The secret ingredient is ground mustard seed and ground japaleno in the barbq sauce. Don't tell tho.

turkey legs are a good idea. Just like at the renessiance festival. You can eat it and still watch the game,too.

Kielbasa Sausage and Kraut on a bun with mustard and onions. Baked beans on the side :D

[Gobbla2001]

You can never go wrong with some German meat-pies...

[Ranger Mom]

I wish Greenwood did what Sweetwater does. They just order pizza from a pizza place and sell it 1 slice for $2 and 2 slices for $3. Both times I have been there they have sold out. That seems to be all my kids like to eat anyway!

[Bandera YaYa]

My fav is a sausage wrap...a grilled sausage in a warm tortilla...UMMMMMM. You can make them ahead of time, wrap in foil and keep in warmer. Big seller for us and easy. I put mustard on mine! :D We also have done brisket sandwhiches, hamburgers, nachos, frito pies and hot dogs...but they are pretty common at consession stands, I guess.

What is a German meat-pie??? What other different things has your consession stands offered???

[Gobbla2001]

Yah, we're doing sausage wraps (last time I checked)...

German meat-pies? Pretty much every culture or so has their version of the meat-pie... I forget the 'German' name for it, but a German meat-pie is whatever kinda dough you wanna use stuffed with hamburger meat, bell-peppers, onions and cabbage (those are the basics) and it can either be baked or fried...

Tastes good with Potatoe soup...

[sinton66]

Sinton Boosters do beef fajitas. And BROTHER, they are good!

[Gobbla2001]

Really, 66?

Well, I was kinda unsure about whether or not I'd be attending the game in Sinton (you know, things come up)... But they have good fajitas at the stand, you count me in...

[sinton66]

They're at a pit inside the gate, not at the concession stand, but yeah, they are quite good.

[Pudlugger]

I like fish tacos a lot!

[Old Tiger]

You can't beat a good ole hamburger meal with chips and a drink or a BBQ sandwich chips and a drink.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Ballpark Nachos....

ANd for a trivia question... doesn anyone know when and where the quientessential Ball Park Nachos were invented?

[Bandera YaYa]

I know nachos...but Ballpark?????

[Gobbla2001]

Accually they believe (really has never been proven to my knowledge) that nachos were invented in Texas somewhere near the Rio Grande in the World War II years...

[slpybear the bullfan]

Bandera YaYa:
I know nachos...but Ballpark?????Yes, I know, in Texas we know Nachos come in many styles. Ballpark Nachos are the variety where you throw some tortilla chips in a container, pour watery liquid cheese over them, throw some jalapenos on them and get really messy eating them.

They were unveiled as a concession by a certain professional team a few decades ago... any guesses?

[Gobbla2001]

Cleveland Indians?

[slpybear the bullfan]

Nope...

[Gobbla2001]

Texas Rangers or Boston 'Sox?

[slpybear the bullfan]

Gobbla2001:
Texas Rangers or Boston 'Sox?Correct on the team Gobbla... The Rangers... any idea what year?

[Gobbla2001]

'74??? '75??? (dunno, you said a few decades ago, those are my guesses)

[trojandad]

Ok, back to the German pie......meat and cabbage fried? Guess I haven't had one at an Octoberfest or something. Any recipes you could get me on these? Just don't have a visualization for them.

[Gobbla2001]

Fry it OR bake it, whichever you want... The meat and cabbage are placed inside of the dough un-cooked, then you bake it or fry it...

My mother usually just uses hamburger-meat, onions and bell-peppers, but a lot of folks put some cabbage in there...

[Ranger Mom]

How about funnel cakes??

YUM YUM!!!

[sinton66]

I keep trying to get the Sinton folks to do the tortilla burgers at the game, but no luck so far. wink

[3afan2K3]

How about ayll serve healthy vegatables and prune juice? MM MMMM

[Ranger Mom]

3afan2K3:

HISSSS!!!
:mad: :mad: :mad:

[sinton66]

Our concession serves hot Dr. Pepper and lemon slices when the weather gets good and cold.

[Ranger Mom]

Hot Dr. Pepper???

[sinton66]

yep, they slice up lemons and put them in with the Dr. Pepper and heat it up. It's pretty good if you like Dr. Pepper.

[Bandera YaYa]

..now that sounds like a communist drink for sure!

[exbccards76'smom]

Hot dr. Pepper sounds good. All this food talk is making me hungry. BC sells pizza,links,hot dogs,frito pies,and nachos.

sinton66:
Our concession serves hot Dr. Pepper and lemon slices when the weather gets good and cold.Man 66, that brings back some memories. Does anyone remember the magazine ads for hot DP? It was quite the in thing back in the days... I remember mint leaves and lemon slices... mmmm...

Now, it isn't as good as some Bailey's and CoCoa... :rolleyes:

[slpybear the bullfan]

Gobbla... close... the Texas Rangers were the first to unveil Ballpark Nachos during their inagural season at Arlington Stadium in '72. And just look how fast they caught on!

[slpybear the bullfan]

Here ya go for Hot DP...

http://www.texasbob.com/travel/tbt_drpepper.html

BTW... Does anyone else think that Dublin DP is not that much different than regular DP?

LOL

[Gobbla2001]

Dang, slybear, I almost had ya...

I heard hot DP made ya buzz... Any truth to that?

[slpybear the bullfan]

Gobbla2001:
Dang, slybear, I almost had ya...

I heard hot DP made ya buzz... Any truth to that?Only when you add a finger of Crown to it... wink

[Old Tiger]

Bandera YaYa:
..now that sounds like a communist drink for sure!Dr. Pepper is made in Waco so it's not wink

[sinton66]

Made a lot of sense to her, I guess.

[trojandad]

Ok, tortilla burgers got my attention (I must be dense, I still can't visualize cabbage fried with hamburger meat, sounds like it's got potential tho). Would tortilla burgers just be same as a burger except flour tortillas for buns?

[sinton66]

Yes, but you add in extras like jalapenos and cheese and so forth if you like them. Might also offer some salsa on the side.

AND SOCCER IS PLAYED IN HIGH SCHOOLS ALL OVER TEXAS, SO IT'S NOT, EITHER!

[Gobbla2001]

Tortilla Burgers are awesome... They have a place in Victoria called Japeleno's (no, that's not a typo) and they have Tortilla Burgers...

I like alvacado, onions and salsa on mine...

[sinton66]

[mustang04]

if ur gonna drink Dr. Pepper, get the REAL stuff, the good ole Dublin DP, its the best, and i cant help but laugh reading these posts on here, sounds like old women trading recipes while gettin their hair done, although i cant say ive ever heard old women trade recipes while gettin their hair done....

[mustang04]

[trojandad]

I was looking for something similar to that German Pie and saw something called bierocks. Is that the same or similar? Could only find recipes with them baked, not fried.

[sinton66]

:D :D :D :D Ranger Mom, you're alright in my book!

LOL @ Ranger Mom.

Don't mind him, nachos are his favorite because they are the cheapest thing on the Taco Bell menu. &lt;smirk&gt;

[mustang04]

Rangermom, that was a good one, i shot myself in the foot, but hey, ya cant help but to jump on the bandwagon haha

[mustang04]

trojandad....how did u know that??? wink haha

[intocable_cowboy]

Fajita Tacos-Of course mesquite grilled in a barbque pit, no gas grilling or charcoal.
Menudo-for a cold night
Bar-b-que Beef On Bun- A classic.
Turkey Legs
Brisket Tacos
Pizza
Barbque Plates-Brisket,beans,rice,potato salad.

I think it's because they still use good ole imperial sugar to sweeten it, instead of corn syrup.

Bandera YaYa:
AND SOCCER IS PLAYED IN HIGH SCHOOLS ALL OVER TEXAS, SO IT'S NOT, EITHER!Sorry Ya Ya. This comparison is a stretch of the imagination at best. Even my vast and vivid imagination had a very hard time seeing a logic here. In fact, you actually made our point for us. Dr. Pepper was invented, is manufactured, and is marketed here in the U.S.
Soccer is foreign, propelled by foreign interests, and is BORING ! If you're gonna compete, you at least have to make logical arguments. wink

[trojandad]

Me either, Mom, I'm obviously just jealous that we don't have one. Actually, we only have a Subway and it's fairly new. LOL
