I was fortunate enough to be at Yankees Stadium on the day that the Yankees retired Derek Jeter's number. Even now, watching some of the videos, my eyes well up when I hear Bob Sheppard's recording of "...number two, Derek Jeter, number two."
The game occurred on Mother's Day and because of a rain out the day prior, the Yanks played a double header the day of the retirement ceremony. We tasted our way through Yankees stadium (yes, I said tasted) and seriously had some amazing food. The most memorable was our trip to Mighty Quinn's BBQ where we devoured their Brontosaurus Rib and Dirty Fries.
The Brontosaurus Rib is a full pound of tender short rib on the bone, which is smoked for 16 hours. The Dirty Fries are topped with brisket burnt ends, chili lime sauce, red onions, and scallions. Excuse the less than perfect pictures. My photography skills were impaired by my mouth watering (and being a few beers in by the time we made it to Mighty Quinns).
If you ever find yourself at Yankees Stadium, make sure you check out the Yankees Stadium Dining Guide before you go. There is a lot of history at the stadium, but also a lot of food. You don't want to miss a moment!
