As the series shifts to Atlanta, Delaware North’s team at Truist Park will offer their own specialty concessions items for Braves fans.
Knucksie Dog: Footlong all-beef hot dog topped with pulled pork, coleslaw, pickles and sweet and tangy BBQ sauce on a corn-dusted bun.- Chicken Fried Hot Dog: Footlong all-beef hot dog chicken-breaded and fried, topped with pickles and chipotle aioli.

In Chicago, where Delaware North provides food, beverage and retail services for the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field, Executive Chef Bret Donaldson provided a demonstration and preview of his smokehouse BBQ recipe at the ballpark for local TV station WGN.
The White Sox, playing the Houston Astros in the American League Division Series, will host Game 3 on Oct. 10. If a fourth game is necessary, the two teams will meet again at Guaranteed Rate Field on Oct. 11. Watch Donaldson’s full segment here.
The St. Louis Cardinals, another team for which Delaware North provides food, beverage and retail services, reached the Wild Card round of postseason play before being eliminated by the LA Dodgers.
