What to Eat at Rogers Centre, Home of the Blue Jays

It's no secret that the Rogers Centre isn't a major league food destination – hard to ignore when U.S. stadium fare is the stuff of legend – so when die-hard baseball fans return to cheer on the Toronto Blue Jays at their season opener this Friday, it's pretty much guaranteed that the eats won't be winning the World Series of food, unless money is no option. Changing this reality is a necessary debate – especially when the rest of the city (Pearson airport included) is stepping up to the food plate in a major way – but, for now, it's time to play ball so here's a guide on what to eat and where it can be found at the game.

MYM Gourmet Frites Section 134: Chicken fingers, wraps, frites and 'signature poutines'!

Queen Street Sections 118, 122: Line up for traditional fare: hotdogs, pretzels, nachos.
Shopsy's Deli Section 124: Established in 1921, Shopsy's used to be THE place to grab quality deli eats before a show at the O'Keefe Centre (now Sony Performing Centre For The Arts) but, in recent years, has diminished in prominence. That said, stuck in the Rogers Centre, famished baseball fans could do a lot worse.

Sightlines Carvery & Bar Section 200: It's an expensive proposition but many say the view from the outfield is unprecedented, though the food reviews of their all-you-can-eat buffet - a mess of vegetarian pizza, couscous, and prime rib - divides the crowd.
