Some food pairings naturally go together, such as peanut butter and jelly or ice cream and birthday cake. In the world of baseball, however, peanuts and Cracker Jack or hot dogs and beer seem to be the ideal combinations. Ballpark food is a cuisine of its own, since few other places offer footlong chili cheese dogs next to M&M’s and Pixy Stix.
