Where Oās Warehouse Dog Ranks In MLB
This year, āThe Warehouse Dogā is available during Baltimore Orioles games at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. What is this MLB food item? According to mlb.com, itās a foot-long hot dog topped with horseradish-infused brick sauce, pit beef queso fundido, pickled pico and onions, all served on top of an obscenely large pretzel bun.
Leaguewide, Baltimoreās newest treat drew the fourth-most votes from fans when it came to discussion surrounding unhealthy yet popular ballpark food items, alongside the Arizona Diamondbacksā churro dog. At least the Orioles look healthy on the field ā Caesars Maryland Sportsbook rates Baltimore as the fourth favorite to win the World Series, at +850 odds; only the Dodgers (+350), Braves (+550) and Yankees (+700) are ahead of the Oās as of May 2.
The Oās tribute to gluttony fell short of other ballpark staples, such as the Washington Nationalsā mumbo fried chicken sandwich. That item at National Park led all MLB food menu items with 30 upvotes, while the Tampa Bay Raysā pulled pork BBQ nachos were second, with 14 upvotes.
Throw in the Colorado Rockiesā ode to rocky mountain oysters (11 upvotes) and you have the full rundown on the menu items that topped Baltimoreās grandiose hot dog in 2024.
Leaguewide, Baltimoreās offering beat the Cleveland Guardiansā slider dog (six upvotes), the Texas Rangersā rattlesnake hot dog (four), Tampa Bayās sweet pretzel bites (three) and the Milwaukee Brewersā āThe Beastā (two), rounding out the list of the least healthy popular menu items at MLB parks across America this season.
