Damn You, Nationals!!!!

Nats Triple Play went to the stupidly priced exhibition game today, where the cheap-ass team forced everyone to pay full price to watch minor leaguers. They came back disappointed by the experience, and relay this bit of horrid news:
First, for those who didn't check it out, Hard Times Cafe is gone from the food court, replaced by a lesser hot dog vendor.

I can't think of a response to this which doesn't involve 1) some sort of hex upon the Lerners and every single one of their spawn or 2) various things which would result in the police and/or FBI knocking on my door.

Oh, sure, the overpriced, minuscule, shoeleather brisket's still there, I bet.

But NO CHILI NACHOS???? What price your soul, Messrs Lerner and Kasten? What price your soul?

  • Never has the expression, "WTF?" been more applicable.

    Hard Times Café was the highlight of the Terrace Food Court, and that isn't just my opinion, the lines for that stand were always the longest of all of the food stands up there.

    This is indeed a sad, sad revelation, but I'll bet it was a Hard Times corporate decision, not the Nationals, but I'm open on the subject.

    Perhaps we can hold out hope that Ben's Chili Bowl can be wooed into participating, even if not now, then with the new stadium?

    First the demise of the Foggy Bottom Tavern, now this. Is there no end to the culinary indignities that we are forced to suffer?

    *Sigh*

  • As long as they still sell the kettle corn. If they stop selling kettle corn, you might see me do a swan dive from the upper deck tomorrow. I've also decided that once tomorrow rolls around, mgmt. gets the slate wiped clean, at least with me. New season, fresh start.

  • Forgive me, I don't remember this one from last year, but out in Nook's Nook-Section 455, they were selling cheese in a small cup for a $1. I'm not kidding! Condiments for sale! Come on!

  • Hear here! We were very bummed HTC was gone. I'm switching back to Dominic's sausages until an appropriate replacement is found.

  • Well I had the overpriced brisket yesterday and it was so-so. On the other hand, they started selling GOOD BEER in the upper deck! I actually bought both an Old Dominion and a Redhook IPA upstairs! Personally, I will trade the Hard Times for better beer without the walk to the ground floor, but then again, I am a bit of a lush...
