Philadelphia, PA (WFN) -- Baseball stadium food has come a long way, baby -- these days fans are noshing on peanut pad Thai and cracked peppercorn ahi instead of peanuts and crackerjacks.

In fact, many stadiums now employ four-star chefs to create fancy-schmancy menu items for folks sick of the basic boiled hot dogs.

Baseball season opens Sunday, and according to the folks at Aramark -- which oversees the food at 13 major league stadiums -- some of the high-tone dishes hungry fans will dine on include...

-- Tuscan bruschetta, stuffed portabello mushrooms and antipasto at the Pittsburgh Pirates' stadium.

-- Atlanta fans will chow on pan-seared salmon and belly up to an upscale wine bar.

-- And Houston Astros' fans will dine on jumbo lump crab cakes with mango salsa and coconut lobster tail with mango curry sauce.
