Thanks to the James Beard Foundation, baseball fans can eat on the field this summer at three renowned ballparks across the nation.
According to the foundation’s “Stadium Chef Series” organisers, the special dinner events will be held at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Boston’s Fenway Park and Minneapolis’ Target Field. Highly regarded regional and nominated chefs will be featured at each dinner, which will also serve as a fundraiser for the James Beard Foundation’s “Good Food for Good” initiative.
In 2022, the inaugural installment of the “Stadium Chef Series” debuted at Wrigley Field.
James Beard Foundation CEO Clare Reichenbach said, “We are delighted to partner once again on the ‘Stadium Chef Series’ that celebrates the two great American pastimes of food culture and sports — and look forward to showcasing incredible, local culinary talent at the iconic Wrigley Field, Target Field and Fenway Park ballparks.” “These are genuinely exceptional, unforgettable events.”
Diners will be treated to a cocktail greeting with complimentary appetisers, a four-course, family-style supper at centre field, and the opportunity to snap memorable pictures on the field in Chicago. Chefs from a number of neighbourhood eateries, including Prairie Grass Cafe, HaiSous, and Birrieria Zaragoza, will contribute to the menu. Matthias Merges, David Burns, Djibril Webb, Chris Pandel, Ricki Ramirez, Sarah Stegner, Lamar Moore, Thai Dang, Jonathan Zaragoza, and Vince Bugtong are all chefs on the roster.
The occasions will occur on June 4 in Chicago, June 25 in Minneapolis, and September 29 in Boston. On May 4, tickets for the Wrigley Field event will be available for purchase online, with prices beginning at $500 per person. The availability of tickets for the other stadiums will be revealed later.
