Andrew Zimmern's Canteen — Skewers
Kramarczuk's
The brats, Polish sausages and Cheddar sausages — buried under pungent sauerkraut, thank you — remain the gold standard in portable ballpark fare. Not only for their reasonable price — $8.50 — but for their obvious quality. Sections 112, 117 and 312
Pizza Luce
The popular pizzeria hawks four varieties in whole pie and by-the-slice options; there's also a design-your-own option with nearly two dozen toppings. Gluten-free and vegan variations, too. Slice prices run $6 and $7; whole pies range in the $20s and $30s, and the bar taps Summit's crisp, Bohemian-style Pilsener ($9 and $10). Section 234
Red Cow
The ballpark burger to beat is a beefy, double-patty bruiser ($14.50) blanketed in two slices of aged Cheddar, a tomato slice and shredded lettuce on a buttered-up toasted bun. Three cheers for the crispy, beer-battered fries. Wash 'em down with Lift Bridge Brewing Company's golden Belgian-style ale ($9.50 and $10.50). Section 234
Tony O's Cuban Sandwich
Layers of piping hot pulled pork, thinly shaved ham and Swiss cheese, brightened by vinegary pickles and sharp Dijon mustard and pressed, panini-style. So good. ($10.50). Sections 111 and 309

Lefse-wrapped Swedish wontons, a soothing bowl of rice porridge and a gravy-laden commercial filled our week with comfort and warmth.
