Who
has the newest ballpark in MLB? That would be the Miami Marlins. If
you want to catch a game, head to the Little Cuba section of town and
look for the giant white, modern structure that looks like anything
other than a ballpark. Trust me, they actually play baseball inside.
They do things a little different in Miami.
The
teams namesake is, of course, a really big fish. And that is how I
determined to name the hot dog designed for Miami's team: The Big
Fish Dog. Start with slightly grilling a regular hot dog bun, slap
down a Hebrew National frank, top with canned tuna, squirt on some
chipolte mayo, then sprinkle on some chives. Eat, enjoy and watch the
Marlins on your tube. I would have used grilled marlin instead of
tuna, but if you have ever priced marlin from a fish market, you know
why. I want you to be able to make this hot dog without having to
sell your car.
Beer
paring: with relations between Cuba and the US warming up, it won't
be long before you can enjoy a Cuban-brewed beer while downing the
Big Fish Dog. Until then, Indian Head Brewery in Maryland brews a
beer once produced in Cuba. Hatuey Beer is readily available in
Florida and New York; home of huge pockets of Cubans. Insist that
your local beer distributor order you a few six-packs. Tell him it is
in the best interest of international relations...and a hot dog
emergency. Give him my number if he needs convincing. I know people.
