My South Philly Dog photo, 2010

The Phillies held their blog-less media event last night to show off new food at CBP. What’s on the menu? The full list is after the jump, but please let me call attention to the hot dog selections, because I think I need an adult:

  • Phillies Frank Topped Dogs (behind Section 134): The hot dog cart will feature a variety of topped dogs all season-long, rotating by homestand, including:
    • South Philly Dog: Back by popular demand, Phillies roasted red peppers, sharp provolone and broccoli rabe.
    • New England Dog: Boston baked beans, bacon crumbles and shredded cheddar cheese on a New England style bun.
    • Carnegie Dog: Pastrami, Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing.
    • Cuban Dog: Roasted pork, pickle chips, Swiss cheese.
  • Philly Cheese Steak Dog. Now at a new location in Section 122. Phillies Frank topped with Philadelphia cheese steak, melted cheese, served ‘wit’ or ‘wit out’ onions.

That South Philly Dog needs its own PR campaign (perhaps it can take the place of the get-out-the-vote All-Star campaign the Phillies won’t have a use for this season?). But the others? HOT DAMN. Julio, get the stretch! These sound amazing. Me guesses they won’t be eligible for Dollar Dog Night, however.

UPDATE: I guess I have to weigh in on this dumb Triple Triple Wayback burger with nine patties and nine slices of cheese:

Stop it. This is Wayback’s dumb gimmick burger that nobody is going to eat and is being rolled out solely to garner publicity for Wayback at CBP. And it’s working. Look, I can do it too: Try out new DP Dog! We stuffed two foot-longs in the bun– one from the front, one from the back! So delicious and unhealthy, you’ll be walking funny for days! Try this exclusive, simple-minded gimmick! Derp.

The full list is after the jump.

Phils press release:
