It's Time for Dodger Baseball!   I guess you could say this is my field of dreams moment. Invited by the Los Angeles Dodgers to preview the menu items from Levy Restaurants, view some of the promotional items for the upcoming season and a VIP tour of the stadium. Arrived at the Stadium Club. 12 hours prior, I was in Austin wrapping up a pop up at SXSW. See What Jay Eats...

Here's this season's starting lineup:  Specialty Nachos Verde with tomatillo verde sauce, pickled jalapeños, and fresco Cotija Queso over tortilla chips.

While the Dodgers were getting ready to face the Philadelphia Phillies We were getting ready to taste the new food  for the 2014 season With Janet Marie Smith, Dodgers' Sr VP of Planning and Development.
