The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the World Series for the 19th time in franchise history, but for the first time since 1988. As such, the city has gone into a fever pitch, and Dodger Stadium is expecting capacity crowds for Games 1 and 2 on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
Fans who attended games at Chavez Ravine throughout the season and playoffs were treated to a slew of speciality dishes and beverages that were curated and carefully crafted by Dodgers executive chef Ryan Evans and his staff.
The start of the World Series brings about several new items, plus the return of favorites such as the Cheet-O-Lote, among other offerings.
A new dish, Cocktel de Camaron (pictured above), will be sold at the Marketplace on Field level (section five), Loge level (section 137) and Reserve level (section five).

Also seeing a return for the World Series is the Chicken Waffle Sammy. It was first introduced in July, and returned as one of two chicken-based sandwiches during the National League Division Series.
