SF Giants show off new ballpark food

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The San Francisco Giants held an open house event Wednesday to showcase new food offerings at AT&T Park.

"We get it. This is not the cheapest place to eat at a game, but we like the food we're offering here," Giants President Larry Baer said.

As the Giants paint it this is the natural evolution of ballpark food in a culinary city that can be traced back to the garlic fries experiment.

"I wouldn't say they were a risk, but we took a chance on them," an AT&T Park representative said.

Now garlic fries are the leading seller every day. This year the park is adding popcorn shrimp, ice cream, and organic chicken from a local company called Organic Coup.

"This is our entire 2017 fiscal budget in marketing. It's a play, a branding play," Dennis Hoover with Organic Coup told ABC7.

Roughly 3.3 million customers are almost guaranteed through the spring, summer, and fall.
