Baseball and food seems to go hand in hand. The Colorado Rockies announced on Wednesday that they were adding some new food items to the options for fans making the trek to Coors Field in 2018. The new options included everything from Rocky Mountain Po’boys to Mile High Mac-N-Cheese. You can see the entire list of new foods and their mouth-watering descriptions by clicking here.

The food list comes right after it was announced that the Rockies will be represented at the upcoming MLB Food Fest in April in New York City. Colorado will be sending a Helton Burger (named after Rockies great Todd Helton) and fresh cut fries to the event.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad that the Rockies are being represented in New York … but the Helton Burger simply isn’t a good representation of the amazing food that can be found in other places at Coors Field. It’s a burger that bears Helton’s name much like a Caesar salad wouldn’t be any different if it was named the Charlie Blackmon Caesar salad.

So what food should not only represent the Rockies in the Big Apple but also be on your list of things to try when visiting 20^th and Blake? I’m glad you asked. I chatted with several Rockies ticket holders to get their takes on the food … and also remembered what stands out to me when I roam the concourses before covering home games for Rox Pile.

Without further delay, here are five suggestions for you to try on your next trip to Coors Field.

In no certain order (except saving dessert for last)…

Biker Jim’s – Located on the third concourse right by home plate, these aren’t your average hot dogs. Biker Jim’s brings a little taste of Colorado to the menu, including wild game meat like elk and buffalo. There are options for every taste and spice level … and you’re actually getting something unique and tasty. What a concept!

CHUBurger – I know, I know. I bashed the Helton Burger on the last page (sorry to all of those I offended). If you’re going to get a burger at a Rockies game, take the time to head to Section 303 (a heck of an area code as well, if I might add). With the tie-in with Oskar Blues, the beef is “Hops and Heifers Approved” and not dry at all. Fresh ingredients and plenty of options to dress up a great-tasting piece of beef makes this the burger you must try at Coors Field.

Pizza from Wazee Market – Section 137 is the place to go if you’re up for a good pie. Before one game last season, I was in the mood for pizza and this hit the spot. Wood fired and hand-tossed, this is pizza that has taste if you’re looking for a little something different to have during the game.

Barbacoa carnitas – Sections 139, 218 and 239. I am a sucker for barbacoa and this hits the mark. Again, it’s not your average ballpark food … and that’s one of the reasons why it’s been recommended to me by several season ticket holders.

Apple pie nachos – Section 130. Wow. Simply wow. Cinnamon chips, apple pie filling and whipped cream. What more can be said? If you want to see my review of it from last season, just click here for the photos and all of the praise I dished upon this treat that is worth the calories.
