Garlic Fries

The Clincher Dog

For the hot dog lovers out there, The Clincher Dog is a little bit of a different take on the traditional ballpark frank. It is a deep-fried hot dog with chopped beef, American Cheese fondue, lettuce, tomato and ballpark sauce. This can also be found at the Metropolitan Fry Factory. 

Put It In The Books Dog

Sticking with the hot dog theme, the Mets have added another new frankfurter to the Citi Field menu.
