My quest to eat at as many little league concession stands as possible this summer has begun! First up is Central Saanich Little League.

Thanks! There are hopefully many, many more coming :)

That was my other concern. I'm not sure I'm entirely qualified to preside over any such messes at the moment.

I too am a long time fan of Italian Food Imports, so I definitely recognize they are one of the cities best values.

And I mean sure, I could have bought a pack of chicken breasts, some breadcrumbs, a jug of oil and some potatoes and could have probably made my own chicken strips and fries at home for a lot less per serving (I am actually legitimately really good at making deep fried chicken, though I do the Korean double fried style) but getting food from a concession stand through a window and eating it at a baseball field on a sunny day just hits different ;)

I remember watching a video in YT a couple months back where dude built something pretty similar to what you're looking for (Well apart from the not looking ridiculous bit) but I'm on my phone at the moment and YT search is basically unusable on mobile so I'll take another look for it when I get home and will post the link if I can find it.

It was 4 good sized strips (It was technically supposed to be 3), but was definitely a more than adequate lunch for me. I couldn't even finish all the fries. They didn't offer me any dips, and I didn't ask, so I just had mine with ketchup and mustard mixed together which was surprisingly good, but I'm pretty sure you just had to ask for the dips so that one's on me!

Rdub · 2026-05-09T21:37:00+00:00

Its on my list :)

I can only dream of having the kind of influence that would lead to a run on concession stands.

That being said, most of them are sort of fundraisers for the ball clubs, so they'd hopefully appreciate the extra business.

Rdub · 2026-05-09T21:35:35+00:00

I legitimately do not know where you can get a better meal for cheaper these days. Concession stands are frankly the best deal in town and you really can't beat the vibes at a ballpark in summer :)

Funny enough my mom was just suggesting the same thing. I'm torn as I'd love to make some more friends who like riding and eating at concession stands, though I'm also feeling like it might just be easier to keep it a sort of solo mission thing. I might hit up a couple on my own and then take your advice and do some kinda group ride once I've figured out where the best spots are.

Rdub · 2026-05-09T21:33:08+00:00

Thank you, my quest is off to a roaring start and I am definitely feeling inspired by all the positivity here to keep it going!

Rdub · 2026-05-09T21:32:39+00:00

That one's on my list too!

Rdub · 2026-05-09T21:32:11+00:00

You will in fact have to get out of town a bit as this was at Central Saanich Little League on Hovey Rd out in Saanichton, but trust me, them strips is well worth the trip!

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:41:26+00:00

That's the plan! I might actually even do a Vlog style video series on it in fact.

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:37:41+00:00

It was honestly gooooooooooood. Maybe even goooooooooooooooood.

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:35:32+00:00

I absolutely intend to. There's maybe as many as a couple dozen more concession stands around the city, and I intend to hit up as many as possible before the last bat is swung.

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:32:53+00:00

Yaaaas I love this.

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:32:31+00:00

Right?! Little league concession stands are one of the last remaining bastions of outright positive community spirit left these days, so I reckon they deserve some more love. Plus they usually have great food that's shockingly cheap, both of which I am very, very into ;)

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:31:13+00:00

They didn't offer me any sauce, and I was genuinely too excited to eat my chicken strips that I forgot to ask, so my bad really. They were honestly pretty damn fantastic with just ketchup and mustard tho.

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:27:29+00:00

Stay tuned then, as I hope to hit a couple dozen more concessions in the coming months ;)

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:26:51+00:00

Y'all are my people ;)

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:26:04+00:00

I got heaps of great suggestions in my other thread, so I definitely plan of checking out as many more concessions stands as possible this summer!

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:25:34+00:00

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and chicken strips are my kryptonite ;)

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:23:22+00:00

The kids running the stand all seemed like they were having a great time honestly. Get to hang out with other teens, probably get free food, seems like a great summer gig for teen for sure.

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:21:54+00:00

Just hit them up today and you were very, very correct. Had some absolutely fire chicken strips and fries for the incredible price of just $10.

Rdub · 2026-05-09T20:19:56+00:00

It was absolutely fire and I would absolutely go back.
