Earlier we heard about the Arizona Diamondbacks plans for a Churro Dog, and now:

http://www.foodbeast.com/news/chicken-and-waffle-cone-astros/

The Houston Astros are stepping up to the food plate with a new Chicken and Waffle Cone this season.

It's like a waffle cone you'd see at Cold Stone Creamery, except the ice cream is replaced with mashed potatoes, popcorn chicken and honey mustard.

While we have seen the chicken and waffle cone duplicated in a few places here and there, we can credit Nick Chipman at Dude Foods for inventing this insane chicken and waffle mashup back in 2012.

While it is essentially a Dude Foods tribute, it isn't exactly the same, as Nick used syrup on his chicken and waffle cone, naturally. Plus, Minute Maid Park added mashed potatoes to theirs, which makes it feel like a KFC Famous Bowl.

See, this is why America is progressive

jesus

Ekdrm2d1 · Mar 30, 2015

Yum

Edit: Thought it was cheese on top. Cheese > honey mustard

Saint Gregory · Mar 30, 2015

How... how are you supposed to eat that? Do you just take it to the head?

Dan · Mar 30, 2015

I must admit, that sounds delicious, whether it's with honey mustard or syrup. Mmmm.

Zen_Arcade · Mar 30, 2015

They should have left out the ice cream.

But there isn't any?

- J - D - · Mar 30, 2015

I'd just ask them to toss out the waffle cone and put the rest in a bowl.

John Kowalski · Mar 30, 2015

I like how american cuisine advances by figuring out what crazy new thing is most commercially profitable. I can't think of a more american way to invent culture.

im pretty sure that's mash potatoes.

Walter White Walker · Mar 30, 2015

Nope, not feeling this. Mashed potatoes mixed with mustard is pretty meh.

God Dayumm · Mar 30, 2015

The potatoes should be melted cheese and i'm game

SummitAve · Mar 30, 2015

Had something similar at our state fair except it had a white gravey poured on top.

RS4- · Mar 30, 2015

Toronto Blue Jays ownership, are you listening?

Poodlestrike · Mar 30, 2015

Oh, dayum. I gotta get to a ballpark one of these days. This is madness.

The Broken Ska Record · Mar 30, 2015

BBQ instead of honey mustard and I'm in.

joeyjoejoeshabadoo · Mar 30, 2015

Chicken and waffles is a delicious combo. This nonsense completely misses why it's such a good combo.

The Lone Courier · Mar 30, 2015

Was it last season when the Brewers released the nachos on a stick?

Dennis · Mar 30, 2015

This one is just fucking nasty

Face it Tiger.. · Mar 30, 2015

and they say america doesn't innovate.

Akuun · Mar 30, 2015

I'm pretty sure killing your audience with heart attacks is good for business.

SSPssp · Mar 30, 2015

That looks delicious! Still not enough for me to go watch an Astros game though.

chicagocubsfan · Mar 30, 2015

Makes up for having to watch Evan Gattis play the outfield.

Or chili. Although maybe that would make the popcorn chicken shoggy.

Still looks good to me.

masud · Mar 30, 2015

Mashed potatoes and honey mustard? Eww...

oni_saru · Mar 30, 2015

Take out the mashed potatoes and it'll sound delicious!

Anoregon · Mar 30, 2015

Take me out to the ball game

Yeah thats it.

Stafford and Freeman approved.

jmood88 · Mar 30, 2015

Get the fuck outta here, Houston.

Screaming_Gremlin · Mar 30, 2015

I feel like they missed the mark with the honey mustard. Should have been maple syrup to complete the chicken and waffles. Although I admit not sure how syrup would taste with the mashed potatoes.

sixteen-bit · Mar 30, 2015

This is excessive.

No syrup no sale.

Crud · Mar 30, 2015

H town baby.

TheSaddestSort · Mar 30, 2015

That does not look very appealing ...

Mesoian · Mar 30, 2015

I was listening to the v for vendetta soundtrack while reading this and the moment I got the actual image, the music swelled dramatically.

That is something that looks so tasty, but I should never put inside my body.

They're warm and soft like puppies in socks
Filled with cream and candy rocks

If your stomach is grumblin' and your mouth starts mumblin'
There's only one thing to keep your brain from crumblin'

They're shiny and large like fishermen's barge
You know you've eat enough when you start seeing stars

breakfuss · Mar 31, 2015

That looks delicious. All the naysayers here would be the first in line given the chance!

I was waiting for a good one, and you delivered.

King Tubby · Mar 31, 2015

Gravy instead of honey mustard and it's a go.

cashman · Mar 31, 2015

This is probably the only good thing about Houston.

Let's not be hasty...Houston provided us Clyde Drexler, Brent Spiner, Patrick Swayze, The Undertaker, and last but certainly not least, Chamillionaire.

Sobriquet · Mar 31, 2015

Not feelin' the mashed potatoes and honey mustard. Should just be waffle cone, chicken, and syrup.
