New
York; the city that never sleeps. Also known as the Big Apple. Know
why? Yeah, me neither. But it does play nicely at Citi Field where
they raise a big apple just beyond the outfield wall after a Mets
homer. It is a mets' icon that migrated from old Shea Stadium to
their newer digs. It's cool and cheesy at the same time; kinda like
New York City in general.

| Mr Met: Don't piss him off |
FYI,
the Mets have much better food than Yankee Stadium, which is why I
put a lot of thought into designing a hot dog for the team. Plus they
have Mr. Met, that dude with the huge baseball for a head; I couldn't
let him down. Which is why I have come up with a dog called...are you
ready?....The Big Apple. Unique no?
Start
with a regular grilled hot dog bun. This time, instead of going with
a meat dog, use a Field Roast brand of apple smoked veggie sausage.
Since we are closing in on the end of the Virtual Baseball Tour, I
thought I'd give you and your cholesterol a break from the meat. Add
sliced apples, a row of apple sauce and drizzle on caramel sauce (you
know, like caramel apples). The sweetness of the apples and the fake
meat taste pretty well together. Trust me on this.
Beer
pairing: what better with a sweet dog than a cream ale? Genesee Cream
Ale is brewed in Rochester and widely available in most regions.
