![]() Some worked the fast food stands-they’d often sneak my brother and me free snacks. ![]() We often ran into food service workers we knew: Some had been employed at my grandmother’s restaurant, the Nayarit, which she opened on Sunset Boulevard in 1951, and some at Barragan’s, another neighborhood anchor opened by a former Nayarit employee, Ramon Barragan.Īs I write in my recent book, A Place at the Nayarit, these workers took second jobs in food service at Dodger Stadium, staffing the approximately 81 home games of the six-month season. We would arrive before the game and have the players sign our balls, which I still have today. For three dollars, we could purchase an upper deck seat and for an additional three dollars, we could get a Coke and hot dog. As a kid growing up in Echo Park in the 1970s, I would walk to Dodger Stadium with my brother or kids in the neighborhood. ![]()
