WEBVTT 00:00:02.569 --> 00:00:05.490 You're listening to the litter box a Detroit 00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:09.570 Tigers podcast with your hosts Chet West and 00:00:09.570 --> 00:00:16.550 Bill Patterson I Want to change gears here for 00:00:16.550 --> 00:00:19.170 a second bill and get into something that you 00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:23.550 and I Had become near and dear to in our broadcasts 00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:27.910 of the last year or so the food at Petco Park 00:00:28.329 --> 00:00:31.109 The Tigers will be playing the Padres here in 00:00:31.109 --> 00:00:34.030 the first series. And not only is it a pitcher 00:00:34.030 --> 00:00:35.990 friendly park, but it's a food friendly park 00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:39.369 too. They've got quite a few interesting selections 00:00:39.369 --> 00:00:41.829 on the menu. Is there anything on here that you 00:00:41.829 --> 00:00:44.049 would, I know you've been to like every ballpark 00:00:44.049 --> 00:00:45.549 in the country eating everything. What would 00:00:45.549 --> 00:00:48.329 you recommend to our friends out there who may 00:00:48.329 --> 00:00:50.270 be taking in the first series of the season? 00:00:50.789 --> 00:00:54.009 Chad, I'm glad you asked. And cousin Eric is 00:00:54.009 --> 00:00:58.789 out there with his wife, Whitney and kids. So, 00:00:59.590 --> 00:01:02.869 with a little research from the home crowd, here's 00:01:02.869 --> 00:01:05.370 what I've got. Seaside Market and you want to 00:01:05.370 --> 00:01:09.769 get the Cardiff Crack Tri -Tip Sandwich. Unbelievable. 00:01:10.569 --> 00:01:15.489 Tri -Tip Chet is a cut of the cow that is slow 00:01:15.489 --> 00:01:20.530 roasted over a spit. It's raised so it gets caramelized. 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:22.959 or excuse me, lowered so it gets caramelized, 00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:25.439 then raised to finish it through. So it's basically 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.439 reverse sear, sliced thin with a horseradish 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.579 and au jus on a hearty roll. It's nothing short 00:01:33.579 --> 00:01:35.920 of delicious. That sounds delicious. You want 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.620 to wash it down with San Diego's favorite beer, 00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:44.099 which is Elle Smith's. 394 in honor of Tony Gwynne. 00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:46.400 You're going Ailsmith. Okay, the Tony Gwynne 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.099 beer. Yeah, I was gonna ask. You go, what do 00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:50.180 you watch now? You go ballast point. Do you do 00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:52.739 a, you know, Coronado brewing? Or are you going 00:01:52.739 --> 00:01:56.159 Ailsmith? That's where I'm starting. I might 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.620 move to a ballast point sculpin' at some point. 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:00.879 It's delicious. You might tickle that. Yeah, 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.280 and then, you know, we did this in our March 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.239 Madness food. I have to give shout out to Pizza 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.219 Port, who's also there. their slices are nothing 00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:13.500 short of divine chat. It's a thicker, doughier 00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:18.599 crust. So imagine somewhat of like a pillowy, 00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:21.680 known as style Brooklyn style, but yet cut into 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:26.759 a triangle with delicious beef pepperoni, good 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.599 moths, you know, fresh moths, a really good blend 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.909 of herbs and spices. And then a very tart but 00:02:35.909 --> 00:02:39.030 slightly sweet sauce with just locally grown 00:02:39.030 --> 00:02:41.530 tomatoes. I got a couple of things I want to 00:02:41.530 --> 00:02:43.189 call it. That sounds lovely, by the way. That 00:02:43.189 --> 00:02:45.169 was an incredible recommendation. Everybody go 00:02:45.169 --> 00:02:49.270 get your go get your eats on on that. Petco Park 00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:51.889 has a couple of exclusives. They have the shortstop, 00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:55.469 which is a braised beef short rib. I'm reading 00:02:55.469 --> 00:02:59.870 this off the menu with borsoneioli and au jus 00:02:59.870 --> 00:03:02.900 served on a French roll with kettle chips. That 00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:05.919 does not sound like something I'm eating in San 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.680 Diego for some reason. No, no. Braised beef short, 00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:11.800 I feel like we're in St. Louis having something 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.560 like that, not in San Diego. Can I take your 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.680 dare and raise it one more? Sure. If you want 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.360 to go to Jack in the Box, which is only available 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.680 on Section 323, and for those that don't know, 00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:28.900 Jack in the Box is essentially your Carl's Jr. 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.229 Yeah. type of Burger King type of fast food joint. 00:03:35.569 --> 00:03:39.550 And they have San Diego born fast food, which 00:03:39.550 --> 00:03:43.669 includes tiny tacos. I'd take my chances with 00:03:43.669 --> 00:03:45.889 those. That might be fun. But what I wouldn't 00:03:45.889 --> 00:03:48.550 do is this. And here's where I dare you, buddy. 00:03:48.629 --> 00:03:51.509 Oh, boy. Would you do a purple haze cocktail 00:03:51.509 --> 00:03:53.949 from Jack in the Box? No, no. And I don't know. 00:03:53.969 --> 00:03:55.330 I don't know. I don't want to know what's in 00:03:55.330 --> 00:03:57.669 it. It's probably like a buzz ball or something 00:03:57.669 --> 00:04:01.199 dumped into a cup. on ice. That's probably the 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.300 worst tasting alcohol you've ever had in your 00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:05.280 life. It could just be cough syrup. Just go buy 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.599 a buzz ball, guys. It's a perfect thing. A purple 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.259 thang. Oh, goodness gracious. So the other thing 00:04:10.259 --> 00:04:12.460 I saw they've got the exclusive this year is 00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:16.339 a new concept. A new concept is the pondry pretzels. 00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:19.939 They feature freshly baked braided pretzels in 00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:23.079 a variety of flavors, including buffalo with 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.660 blue cheese ranch, honey mustard with a queso 00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:30.980 blanco. Sure. Classic salted with Bavarian brewed 00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:33.240 mustard. That's the one you get everybody. Yeah, 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.240 you stick with that. Don't do that. There's a 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.120 s'mores with chocolate. And then there's a cram 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.220 cracker crumble and marshmallow whipped cream. 00:04:40.819 --> 00:04:45.019 I am diverting from that. That is not my jam. 00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:48.779 I'm going with the Bavarian brew mustard and 00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:51.620 the salt. That's the way you do it. That's the 00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:54.180 one that got into the, what do we get? How far 00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:56.980 did they get in the March Madness in the ballpark 00:04:56.980 --> 00:04:59.199 food madness we did the other week in our previous 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.220 episode? In terms of pretzels? Down to like the 00:05:01.220 --> 00:05:04.060 final four, right? Didn't the pretzel get far? 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.680 I think they just made it out of their bracket. 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.339 They made it out of their bracket, but they should 00:05:09.339 --> 00:05:11.800 have. At any rate. Hold on. I've got one more 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.939 for you. Give it to us. This is the last one 00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:17.860 though. So in honor of Trevor Hoffman, the legendary 00:05:17.860 --> 00:05:21.779 Padres relief pitcher, they now have gelato. 00:05:21.779 --> 00:05:25.560 Of course. But guess what the themed flavors 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.439 are. And I'm not even going to try you. They 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.639 are chalk, clay, and sand. So Chet, you have 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:37.639 to pick one of the three and why. Chalk, clay, 00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:42.100 sand. Alright, so a couple weeks ago we talked 00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:44.920 about how as a child I may or may not have eaten 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.779 dog food and milk bones. I also every once in 00:05:48.779 --> 00:05:52.779 a while sampled some clay in first grade. I am 00:05:52.779 --> 00:05:56.180 going to go clay as an homage to my childhood 00:05:56.180 --> 00:06:00.560 eating habits. I am having gotten plenty of sand 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.579 in my mouth at the beach doing various activities. 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.740 I'm not going to pick that. I got chalk in your 00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:09.980 mouth. It's awful. I'm going to go with the what 00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:12.899 I'm guessing is the lesser least of three evils 00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:15.519 and just say chalk and hope for the best. I'm 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.959 going, Clay. Very good. You got the chalk, huh? 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.000 OK. You ever bit into a piece of chalk before? 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.120 Don't plan on it. But I did when I was about 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:26.139 seven. Not fun. That's terrible. All right. Litterbox 00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:30.759 listeners, thank you for joining and chat. We're 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.040 going to have to do your weird eating habits 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:37.000 as an off season one, uh, pre nine years old, 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.360 because it sounds like anything that was even 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.779 malleable, not edible things that went in my 00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:46.779 mouth that probably shouldn't have. Yuck. Yeah. 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:53.600 We'll leave it at that. Go tigers.
