Fans Find Foodie Paradise at AT&T Park

Lamburgers, Poutine fries and griddled gorditas are just a few of the new food offerings at AT&T Park this season

It's a sure sign that spring has arrived in the Bay Area - birds are chirping, allergy season is in full swing, and the San Francisco Giants are playing baseball on the banks of McCovey Cove.

The World Series Champions hold their Home Opener at AT&T Park Friday.

Gates open at 11 a.m.  with a full hour of pre-game festivities scheduled for the sell-out crowd.

  • PreGame Ceremonies begin 12:40
  • #RaiseTheFlag 1:25
  • 1st Pitch 1:35

The highlight will be the raising of the World Series flag in the outfield. The player to have the honor of hoisting it is a well kept secret. 

Thanks to team president and CEO, Larry Baer, the players are all coming back, so the headline-grabber this time, is (drumroll, please) the menu.

And we aren't talking about peanuts and Cracker Jacks. 

The Giants are king when it comes to  foodie fare offering delicacies such as grilled eggplant sandwiches, oysters on the half shell and field roasted artesian sausages.

There are also several new food and drink options. (See the full list below)

But here are some highlights, and of course, we'll start with the drinks: A Vintage 58 wine bar has been set up behind home plate on the main level. Lefty O'Doul's has set up a bar at the top of the O'Doule Gate that features its famous Bloody Mary mix and specialty cocktails. And for the cool night, you can now get a new hot beverage. Ghiradelli will offer a carmel-topped hot chocolate (when a plain hot chocolate just won't do).

As for food ( to soak up all those Bloody Marys!), new dishes include San Francisco's historic Original Joe's giant high-end hamburger. On the club level, Joe's Garcia will be offering new, crisp-griddled gorditas topped with house-pickled cabbage and jalapeno slaw.  Murph's Pub will offer a lamburger (yes, that's a hamburger patty made with lamb) topped with Guiness-caramelized onions and Irish cheddar cheese.

The Giants will also playing off the popularity of mobile food carts, and provide pop-up bistros only via the @sfgiantfoodie Twitter feed. #GiantPopUp will feature treats not currently available at the park, including made-to-order hot pastrami sandwiches and knishes, oysters on the half shell, hot apple cider and warm turnovers.

Canadians will also like to know that they will be able to chow down on a national favorite. Poutine fries will now be available throughout the park. Poutine are french fries smothered in beef gravy and white cheddar cheese.

The Giants started the 2013 season on the road in Los Angeles April 1. They return home with a winning record of 2-1. The team will celebrate Opening Day against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The ballpark itself also made a few upgrades in the off-season. The iconic 80-foot Coca-Cola bottle got a new coat of paint. The Build-a-Bear workshop is no longer there and will soon be replaced with a social media hotspot.
