Even though our hometown San Francisco Giants aren’t in the World Series this year (no one likes a show-off anyway), Eat24 is still loving us some baseball. Pop quiz: Who’s got more than 9 piles of jalapeno poppers, a fridge full of beer, and looks amazing raising the roof with an oversized foam finger? That’s obviously a practice question, cuz you know it’s us.
Since we can’t boast about how our team is gonna win, we spent last night culling through our database. Don’t worry, our database is pretty interesting, plus we found some onion rings we dropped the last time we were down there. In honor of Game 6, we present you with the Top 6 Food Happenings of the 2013 World Series.
1. During Game 1, a customer ordered boneless chicken wings to be sent to his friend (a St. Louis fan), with a note that the bones had been removed so he didn’t choke like the Cardinals

2. During Game 2 a customer wrote “Please taunt Michael Wacha on Twitter” in the Special Request box

3. Since the series started, tips have averaged 12% of the bill total. Pretty cheap! We think people were worried they were about to lose a lot of money in a bet.

4. People ordering only appetizers was 47% higher on game days

5. Sushi was among the most popular cuisines during all games.

6. Dessert orders spiked in Boston during the 7th inning of Game 1 (we think Red Sox fans were drowning their sorrows in sugar)

So there you have. Baseball=Food and Food=Delicious —> Baseball is delicious. Now excuse us, we have a foam finger to put back on.
