With the dog days of summer upon us, Aramark, the award winning food and hospitality partner of nine Major League Baseball teams, celebrated National Hot Dog Day, July 17, 2019, with a decadent selection of a dozen loaded hot dogs, sausages and vegan dogs at the ballparks it serves. The day may be over, but the party can live on at your grill if you find inspiration in the list below.
For over a century, hot dogs have been a favorite of baseball fans. Whether fans prefer their hot dog plain, or fully loaded, Aramark serves more than 4.2 million hot dogs each baseball season. Among Aramark’s ballparks, Houston Astros fans consume the most hot dogs during the season (900,000), followed by Boston Red Sox fans (800,000) and Colorado Rockies fans (600,000).
Each season, Aramark’s culinary team transforms the ordinary hot dog into an extraordinary topped dog. By providing variety and access to a well-rounded menu, Aramark ensures there’s a hot dog for any craving or dietary preference. Fans looking for a meat alternative can even score vegan dogs. Within Aramark’s MLB portfolio, Citi Field sells the most veggie dogs each season, followed by Coors Field and Rogers Centre.
