Ballpark hot dogs step up to plate

Published March 7, 2007 at midnight

If opening day seems far away, it's possible to get a taste for Major League Baseball even without a game to watch by serving signature hot dogs served at big-league parks.

Here are adaptations of the hot dogs served at the ballparks of five teams.

ATLANTA BRAVES: Turner Field fans might enjoy a dog topped with coleslaw, chili and Vidalia onion relish. If not onion relish, try diced onion with pickle relish.

CHICAGO CUBS: Cubs fans enjoy boiled beef dogs piled with diced onions, diced tomatoes, banana peppers, mustard, a dash of celery salt and a dill pickle spear on a poppy seed bun.

COLORADO ROCKIES: The Rockie Dog is a foot-long hot dog with sauerkraut, grilled onions and peppers.

NEW YORK METS: To make your own New York Dog, try a hot dog topped with sauerkraut, diced onions and deli-style mustard.

HOUSTON ASTROS: Top the Texas Dog at Minute Maid Park with chili, cheese and jalapeño peppers.
