Vegan Report: Nationals Stadium

I had previously read on some website (Ok, here) that the Washington Nationals stadium offers vegan options: veggie dogs, veggie burgers and veggie chili, too! But Saturday, June 6, 2009 they had nothing of the sort. Concession employees at the Grand Slam Grill told me that they were selling veggie dogs last season but not this time around. And even though veggie burgers were indeed on the menu, the busy concession stand had one grill covered in meat pieces. That, and the woman in front of me tried to order one and they were out anyway. And no vegetarian chili at Ben’s Chili Bowl either. What a complete disappointment! Especially after the stadium made honorable mention on PETA’s list of veg-friendly ball parks just a few days ago. Where is the fact checker!

Wah. So the stadium eats were a bust as was short the game. The Mets, who had a huge amount of fans for an away team, lost quickly and painfully. Guess I need to go to Philadelphia to eat a veggie dog at a game.
