At the Plate

If your version of fine dining is eating out of miniature batting helmet, then baseball season is probably your favorite time of year!

With Opening Day upon us, we’re sharing our favorite new menu items from the Cincinnati Reds and their concessions partner, Delaware North.

Our favorites:

Jarrett Baston: Glier’s Goetta Reuben Sliders

Reuben's are amazing on their own. Adding goetta to anything generally makes it doubly delicious. Combining the savory flavors of a reuben and the deliciousness of what really should be a stable of any Cincinnatian diet, goetta, just makes for an all around excellent choice. 

Kathrine Nero: The Reds Island Griller

Allow me to give two thumbs up to the Reds Island Griller. I’m a sucker for anything salty and sweet, and this new dish fits the bill. Sweet pineapple salsa tops a salty Hempler’s sausage, with garlic barbecue sauce in between. The combination of the sauce, salsa and sausage are not only an alliteration lovers’s dream, but balances the dish well. It’s also easy to eat on the go, a true benchmark for any ballpark food.

Tricia Suit: Baby Ruth Sundae

This confirms my belief that everything tastes better in a tiny Reds’ hat. When that “everything” includes caramel, chocolate, and Baby Ruth bits, it’s downright amazing. Salty, sweet, and crunchy, it’s a home run! (I’ll see myself out.)

Fans can look forward to a diverse selection of food and beverages, ranging from beloved Cincinnati classics (Skyline nachos are back!) to traditional ballpark favorites (hotdogs with Woeber’s mustard) and innovative dishes (Big Mozz Chicken Parm Sandwich) curated by Executive Chef Gary Davis.
