For the third year in a row, I had the chance to attend the Mariners Food Preview at T-Mobile Park—an invite-only event where local media gets an early look (and taste 👀) at what’s new on the menu this season.

And listen… they didn’t come to play.

This year’s lineup is bold, fun, and packed with flavor that reps the Pacific Northwest in the best way. Some of my personal standouts?

• The Felix King Court Turkey Leg — smoked low and slow, and honestly, it’s big enough to double as a bat

• The Mariners-blue Corn Dog — because matching your food to your jersey? Whole vibe

• Big Dumper Dumplings — yes, a real nod to Cal Raleigh and yes, they’re delicious

• A fresh, house-made banh mi — super flavorful, perfect for sunny game days

• And the Ichiro Wing — made with Ichiro Suzuki’s actual pre-game sauce recipe (!!)

Also—Hot Dogs from Heaven are back this year, and they leveled up! We’re talking parachutes, surprise drops, maybe even a footlong flying your way.

When I asked Executive Chef Craig McAlister about how he comes up with these creations, he said:

“As a chef in a baseball park, the most successful you can be is to just lean into it. How do you make a corn dog? How do you make it better than a corn dog? And then… how do you make it blue?”

But it’s not just about the food—it’s about making the game day experience fun and accessible for everyone.

Malcolm Rogel, the Mariners’ VP of Fan Experience, broke it down like this:

“There are 30 value games this season with $10 tickets. You can get a ticket, a hot dog, and a beer for under $20. No matter where you’re at, this is your home.”

Whether you're showing up to cheer on the team, grab a bite with friends, or just catch the sunset over the city—Mariners baseball is making sure there's something (and somewhere) for all of us this season.
