The Dodgers are heading back to Los Angeles with a 2–0 lead in the National League Division Series after edging out the Philadelphia Phillies 4–3 in Game 2 on Monday. And while fans wait for the first pitch at Dodger Stadium, the team is giving them something else to cheer about — a new food lineup that’s basically a full-blown food flex.
During a Tuesday, September 30 interview with CBS News Los Angeles, executive chef Christine Gerriets — who oversees the stadium’s culinary program with Levy, the Dodgers’ longtime food and hospitality partner — talked about raising the bar each postseason.
“We have to come up with something new and exciting almost every round,” she explained. “And we have for the last few years, for sure.”
Shortly after, Gerriets gave fans a first look at the “Wild Card Menu,” a limited-time lineup of game-day creations already lighting up social feeds.
Standout offerings include the Pistachio Cream Funnel Cake, which is layered with pistachio cream, drizzled in chocolate, sprinkled with crushed pistachios, and crowned with toasted kataifi and whipped cream.
Then there’s the Big Crunch series: 10-inch hard shell tacos packed with seasoned beef, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream, or in the case of the Flamin’ Big Crunch, topped with pickled jalapeños, cheese sauce, and crushed Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
Craving a meat feast? The Mega BBQ Platter piles on jalapeño-cheddar sausage, smoky pork, al pastor spare ribs, and crispy chicharrón, which arrives with tortillas, cornbread, guacamole, salsa roja, and habanero baked beans.
If that’s not enough barbecue for you, the BBQ Beef Sandwich stretches a full 16 inches, loaded with thin-shaved roast beef, caramelized onions, and hot-honey BBQ sauce. Meanwhile, the Chick-e-Chirri packs cornflake-fried chicken with chimichurri, smashed avocado, Tajín aioli, cucumber salad, and arugula on a bun branded with the Dodgers’ LA logo.
Rounding out the menu is a party-ready Agua Chile Beer Bucket, pairing shrimp aguachile and chips with a michelada-style beer bucket setup built for the stands.
These additions build on what fans already saw during the regular season — the Slugger 16-inch sausage, Korean fried chicken bowls, loaded BBQ baked potatoes, upgraded takoyaki, and sweet-bread sundaes.
Game 3 of the NLDS is set for Wednesday, October 8, at Dodger Stadium.
