Despite
a restricted travel schedule, I managed to dodge the rain while
camping in the Rocky Mountains and catch a Colorado Rockies game.
Coors Field is one of my favorites and I was treated to a slug fest
that included six homers.
The
Rockies have always done a great job of offering up a wide selection
of specialty hot dogs. Since my first visit they still offer the
Denver Dog, Santa Fe Dog, Diablo Dog and a few others. The one the
caught my eye this time around was the Beachcomber Dog. It not
only has a catchy name but interesting ingredients.
The
sesame seed hot dog bun had what I was told was a Hebrew National,
but I have my doubts, it didn't taste like a HN. It wasn't bad, but
not what I normally associate with my favorite frank. I suspect the
concessions worker was misinformed. On top of the frank was pineapple
chunks and jalapeno slices, both doused with BBQ sauce.
The
pineapple and jalapeno fought for dominance in taste, with the BBQ
sauce acting as referee. In the end, it was a pretty damn good
specialty dog for $6.50. It's not huge, but for that price I wouldn't
expect it to be. And since one won't fill you up, you will have room
left over to check out the Denver Dog. Oh, and the Rockies are
exciting this year...see them.
