What’s in play this season at Petco Park’s concession stands

Peanuts and Cracker Jack may be immortalized in song as the snacks of choice for American baseball, but fans longing for something more filling have plenty to choose from at Petco Park this year. On April 7, the San Diego Padres host their first home game of the 2017 season. Not counting a few new entries to be announced on Opening Day, here’s a current guide to the ballpark’s culinary offerings, which promise to make game days a home run (even when the home team doesn’t).

Barbecue

Phil’s BBQ

San Diegan Phil Pace opened his first Phil’s outlet in Mission Hills in 1998 and has since expanded to six locations, including Petco Park in 2012. Phil’s is most famous for its homemade BBQ sauce, which it slathers on beef, pork and chicken.
