What To Eat (and Avoid) at PNC Park

View all City Cast Pittsburgh episodes

Let's be honest, the Pirates aren't always the main draw at PNC Park. Many of us go for the views, the pierogi race, and inventive ballpark food. So what's worth trying this season? Axios Pittsburgh's Ryan Deto and Alexis Johnson sampled the stadium's new offerings. They join host Megan Harris to share their picks for the best (and worst) new fare, from chipped ham fries and a foot-long corn dog to smoked turkey legs and Nutella beignets.

Plus, don't miss John Oliver’s take on Pgh newscasters’ (poor) attempts to pronounce “boricua.”
