Lowcountry-based minor baseball league, Charleston RiverDogs, has their first home game at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park (The Joe) on Thursday, April 11. To many fans, baseball in the Holy City means boiled peanuts and cheap beer, but, as always, the Dogs are bringing more eating options this year.

All Star Menu Items at The Joe

The RiverDog: The RiverDogs' most popular meat in bun item is their signature, eponymous hot dog. It's an all-beef dog topped with cole slaw, mustard BBQ sauce, and pickled okra. This item is located at the Dog House and Dog World concession stands.
