New Mexico Dog
Southwest University Park, El Paso
El Paso borders both Mexico and New
Mexico, making this Land of Enchant-
ment-inspired hot dog a natural for
fans of the Chihuahuas (AAA base-
ball) and Locomotive (USL Champi-
onship soccer). The dog comes loaded
with cactus relish, green chile mustard,
toasted cumin seeds, and pico de gallo.
Other festive treats include the Ran-
goon Dog, in which the dog is encased
in a wonton wrapper and topped with
cream cheese, cilantro, and Thai chili
sauce. Or opt for a link: The Sausage
Spot features a rotating selection of elk,
venison, gator, and wild boar.
Feta-Marinated Portobello Sandwich
Dell Diamond, Round Rock
Though the forthcoming MLS team
Austin FC promises gourmet offerings
when it kicks off its inaugural season
in 2021, local sports fans currently
venture north to Round Rock to cheer
on the minor league baseball team,
the Express. At the Dell Diamond, Ono
Pacific Grill features a tempting option
for vegetarians (insert Austin hippie joke
here) in which a portobello mushroom—
marinated in feta vinaigrette—is topped
with pepper jack, chipotle mayonnaise,
and arugula.
