I love to bake, but it can be such a finicky process. Add too much baking soda? Your cookies are ruined. Try to substitute regular milk for buttermilk? Disaster.

Yelp is pretty extensive, but there's one area it hasn't penetrated yet: stadium food. As any sports fan will tell you, finding good food at sports stadiums is a crapshoot.
