Nationals Park Adds Doughnut Sandwiches to Postseason Dining

With the Washington Nationals once again advancing into postseason play, Nationals Park is upping its concessions game this October by introducing some gut-busting specials.

Starting Friday, October 6, with Game 1 of the National League Division Series, devour a new maple doughnut croque-monsieur (served in Section 114) featuring Virginia country ham, Gruyere cheese, and maple-béchamel wrapped in a griddled glazed doughnut.

The Natitude is another way to blow diets. It features a half-smoke sausage patty, crab mac and cheese, and crispy Virginia ham on a brioche bun (Sections 110, 129, 141 and 211). A regionally inspired crab pretzel features jumbo lump crab topped with cheddar cheese topping and Old Bay (Sections 107 and 320).

On the sweet side, a Cookie Dough Helmet summons soft serve vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and mini chocolate chips served in a souvenir Curly W helmet.

And bars will be stocked with a debut cocktail: the Cinnamon Apple Curveball, featuring Smirnoff vodka, Amaretto, and fresh apple cider.

Other new arrivals include:

• Fall Classic Grilled Cheese: featuring braised short rib, baby arugula, pickled red onions, balsamic cherry jam, and smoked Gouda on artisanal sourdough bread.
• The District Duel: a foot-long half smoke sausage with braised beef and giardiniera.
• The Half-Smoke Burger Biscuit: seared smoked burger patty, cheddar cheese, and spicy onion relish served on a buttermilk biscuit.
