Legendary actor Humphrey Bogart once said, "A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz."

While hot dogs, peanuts and a beer are standard fare for ballparks, the menu at Citizens Bank Park — and many other ballparks — has greatly expanded. And with the playoffs and the stress of the postseason, the Philadelphia Phillies have stepped their food game up a few notches and added an exclusive postseason menu with comfort foods.

What's on the Phillies menu: We tried the new food at the Phillies ballpark, including a Charlie Manuel cheesesteak

New menu items at CBP for the NLDS

The Phillies and Aramark Sports + Entertainment have added two news items for the National League Division Series.

  • Pumpkin Milkshake: In The Yard behind Section 102, fans can get the shake that has Richman's Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream and graham crackers. It's topped with whipped cream and pumpkin spice.

  • Un-Phinished Business Phizz Cocktail: At the Miller Lite Liberty Landing behind left field, The Yard Bar behind Section 103 and Philadelphia Cocktail Co behind Sections 120 and 130 you can purchase the adult beverage with vodka, dark cherry puree, sprite, angostura bitters and ginger ale.

Kyle Schwarber burger on the Phillies' lineup

You better be hungry for this culinary beast.

The SchwarBurger is a half-pound burger, which is filling enough, but it also includes smoked BBQ brisket and Cooper sharp American cheese. But wait, there's more. The burger also has bacon, onion rings and a cherry pepper relish. It's served on a brioche bun.

The mouth-watering monster burger, which is found at the Coca-Cola Corner in the Left Field Plaza, is pricy, but it's all for a good cause. A portion of proceeds will benefit Schwarber’s Neighborhood Heroes, which provides opportunities for first responder families.

Phillies comfort foods at Citizens Bank Park

In the Fall Classics area behind Section 139, there is a plethora of comfort food items that will help get you through the toughest jams the Phillies will face this postseason.

  • Sweet Potato Turkey Bowl: It's Thanksgiving dinner at the ballpark. In-house carved turkey is combined with cranberry sauce and placed on a pillow of homemade stuffing and mashed sweet potato. It's then topped with turkey gravy and crispy fried onions. Just try not to nap in the late innings or the drive home.

  • Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Combo: Maybe you don't feel the need for a big meal. Here's another way to go. A blend of cheeses and bacon onion jam on freshly griddled Texas toast with a side of homemade tomato soup. Perfect for those crisp fall games.

These items may be a better closer than Phillies reliever Craig Kimbrel.

  • Mega Campfire S’mores Cookie: The treat is a jumbo chocolate chip cookie loaded with your favorite s’more components.

  • Caramel Apples: The fall favorite — apples dipped in caramel. The treat is available with nuts or jimmies and topped with edible, white chocolate.

  • The Daycare Donut: At Federal Donuts behind Section 140, they have a unique twist on the ultimate comfort food — peanut butter and jelly. You can get a spiced cake donut with a Phillies red strawberry jam glaze and peanut butter drizzle.
