Here’s a shot of the bloggers enjoying a slice of Margherita style pizza at Cascarino’s.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Speaking of local fare, I brought up the departed Brooklyn <\/a>Brewery\u00a0beers. \u00a0Without getting anything explicitly confirmed, it was made pretty clear that Budweiser can exert a ton of pressure financially over what beers are available. \u00a0It was also suggested that Brooklyn Brewery may not be gone forever. (besides the cans of lager that remain) Right now the only true local beer available to the masses is Blue Point Toasted Lager at Catch of the Day. \u00a0There’s also a tap of Sixpoint Sweet Action (and some Ommegang. Honestly, given it’s Cooperstown affiliation, EVERY ballpark should have some of it) in the Delta Sky Club, but that’s obviously a limited access area.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Perhaps the best thing we ate all night: An eggplant\u00a0parmigiana sandwich. \u00a0It was delicious: perfectly breaded with tasty sauce and excellent bread. \u00a0I highly recommend it if you have a chance to be in the Delta Sky Club, or if they end up offering it elsewhere.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We also sampled the new fried chicken sandwich from Blue Smoke, which was my second favorite taste of the day. \u00a0I’m not a big seafood eater, so I passed on the Po’Boy and Flounder at Catch of the Day, but everyone else liked it. \u00a0I did have a handful of popcorn shrimp, which were definitely tasty but I’ll second Rob Castellano\u00a0of Amazin’ Avenue in wishing there was some dipping sauces with them. \u00a0The final thing we tasted was a new appetizer in the Delta Sky Club. \u00a0It was some hot dog bites, basically a small hot dog dipped in panko breading. \u00a0It was good, but nothing to really write home about.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check out some of these other write ups while you’re at it, and don’t forget to follow me on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.ontheblack.com\/2011\/05\/17\/video-diary-citi-field-food-beverage-operations\/<\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.amazinavenue.com\/2011\/5\/17\/2174894\/citi-field-food-mets-eat<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/_WiYnnqmj-NY\/TdJ-eDfVCqI\/AAAAAAAAKkw\/H4Wwmesg7Mo\/2011-05-16%2017.54.51.jpg\" "\\"Cascarinos\\"")
<\/a>Cascarino’s was chosen in part because it’s local. \u00a0It’s right there on College Point Blvd and so local that if you could get pizza delivered to Citi Field, Cascarino’s is close enough to do so.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/_WiYnnqmj-NY\/TdJxt2SfSSI\/AAAAAAAAKkQ\/PzVJJbgbTv8\/2011-05-16%2018.45.47.jpg\" "\\"eggplant\\"")
