The food that has been introduced throughout the league this spring is pretty insane. It all started with a modest little Churro Dog in Arizona and it took off from there.

Since then we've seen announcements for all kinds of ridiculous food items, from the all-bacon booth in Texas, to a Bacon-filled Krispy Kreme donut in Wilmington.

The bar has been set high this year.

We've already seen these in recent threads:

Arizona Diamondbacks, Chase Field - The Churro Dog is a chocolate-glazed donut filled with a churro, topped with three scoops of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate and caramel drizzle.

Houston Astros, Minute Maid Park - Chicken and Waffle Cone with mashed potatoes and honey mustard drizzle.

Some of the other entries:

Pittsburgh Pirates, PNC Park - Cuban-Style Pretzel Dog with ham, pork, swiss cheese, Dijon and pickles.

Atlanta Braves, Turner Field - The Fiesta Dog is a foot-long, all beef hot dog covered in tortilla chips, nacho cheese and chili. It's like a Mexican pizza on a hot dog.

Minnesota Twins, Target Field - The College Daze Bloody Mary is an olive-topped pizza slice inside a bloody mary.

Texas Rangers, Globe Life Park - Candied bacon

Texas Rangers, Globe Life Park - Chicken-fried corn on the cob.

Texas Rangers, Globe Life Park - Deep-fried Oreo S'mores, or S'mOreos.

New York Mets, Citi Field- Mac & Cheese Fries

Milwaukee Brewers, Miller Park - Doritos-crusted, deep fried beef sticks.

Wilmington Blue Rocks (Kansas City Royals Class-A minor league affiliate), Frawley Stadium - The Sweet and Salty hot dog is a bacon-filled Krispy Kreme donut with raspberry jam.

There's more coming I'm sure, some of which have been announced but I can't find any images of. Such as at the San Francisco Giants' AT&T Park:

El Gigante Nacho Cart: Jerk chicken or beef chili nachos, served in a plastic souvenir ballcap.

That's a lot of nachos. Especially if they use Bochy's hat size for that ballcap.

EDIT: Some additions from the thread:

Seattle Mariners, Safeco Field - Dungeness Crab Sandwich

Chicago White Sox - Maple Glazed bacon on a stick

Chicago White Sox - Rib dinner in a helmet

Chicago White Sox - Pizza burger

Chicago White Sox - Bacon flights

New York Mets - Smores Covered Bacon

Phillidelphia Phillies - Triple Triple Burger

(Minor League) Timber Rattlers - Big Mother Funnel Burger

Detroit Tigers - Poutine dog

Cincinnati Reds, Great American Ballpark - Moroccan chicken

Cincinnati Reds, Great American Ballpark - Smoked stuffed quail (will be called "cardinal" when St Louis is in town)

Cincinnati Reds, Great American Ballpark - Korean beef short rib with scallion cake

Cincinnati Reds, Great American Ballpark - The Say Cheese sandwich, featuring three cheese on Texas Toast with bacon or egg

Cincinnati Reds, Great American Ballpark - The Fry Box, which will serve hand-cut fries topped with a Buffalo-chicken mix, pulled pork, or pot roast, with either ranch or truffle salt.

Cincinnati Reds, Great American Ballpark - Smoked soft-shell crab sandwich

America's pastime is the greatest. I will clap for hours after eating this.

 

[HariKari]

Fiesta dog looks dangerous if you bite down on it at the wrong angle.

 

[StoopKid]

I would get so sick eating that Krispy Kreme dog.

 

[jetjevons]

I'll take two slices of pizza in two Bloody Mary's please.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Well guess I'm going to a Padres game this season...

 

[arts&crafts]

As soon as someone can give me a tallcan of beer for less than $10 Canadian, I will go to more Jays games.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

the mac and cheese fries are ok, the rest is kinda gross.

 

[OctoMan]

Maple Glazed bacon on a stick hnnnnng

Ribs in a helmet because why the fuck not

 

[No Love]

Eating just one of these probably satisfies caloric intake for at least 2 days.

The pizza in the bloody mary is gross/dumb as hell though.

 

[Bread]

Chicken and waffle cone wins

for sure

 

[MomoPufflet]

Minnesota Twins, Target Field - The College Daze Bloody Mary is an olive-topped pizza slice inside a bloody mary.

This looks like something someone's 5 year old daughter came up with.

 

[Sanjuro]

Same old shit.

Italian sausage sandwiches, Fenway Franks, and Lawbstah Rolls.

 

[shintoki]

WTF to a piece of pizza in a drink? What is your purpose of existence!

 

[FreshCakes]

What's so special about that bloody. I've had bloody's topped with food before

 

[TheMan]

each order of food is actually the size of a premature baby's fist and cost about 15 bucks. fuck ballpark food.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

It also doesn't look olive-topped.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

As soon as someone can give me a tallcan of beer for less than $10 Canadian, I will go to more Jays games.

It's called 90's style cargo pants.

 

[Sanjuro]

Never forget.

 

[arts&crafts]

It's called 90's style cargo pants.

Brb hitting salvation army

 

[GaimeGuy]

What's so special about that bloody. Don't they already put top food in there?

It's the same as the bloodys they already serve, just with a pizza slice added.

 

[cajunator]

All of this looks gross

 

[BobLoblaw]

What the shit is this?

 

[gsrjedi]

Can't wait for Monday. Already have plans to split the Churro dog with my dad

 

[old]

I would try the fiesta dog. I wish my local team did neat stuff like this. But they just play it safe with generic same old same old.

 

[Instro]

I would give all of those a shot except the bloody mary and the fiesta dog.

 

[BTM]

That chicken & waffle cone thing actually looks fantastic. It's like a famous bowl in a waffle cone!

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I would try the fiesta dog. I wish my local team did neat stuff like this. But they just play it safe with generic same old same old.

If Houston's "Odd food concessions" are a guide, they usually only sell it one place, and it's no where near my seats.

 

[Loxley]

I'm not going to lie..I would eat the shit out of those first two

Spoiler

...and the deep-fried Oreo s'mores.

But my health can take solace in the fact that I never will since I never go to baseball games.

 

[FreshCakes]

It's the same as the bloodys they already serve, just with a pizza slice added.

Edited my post to make it clear, but what makes a pizza slice so special in a bloody lol

 

[Maximo]

Slowly getting heart burn then the Krispy Cream and bacon roll came up...Jesus America sure is..creative.

 

[MIMIC]

Minnesota Twins, Target Field - The College Daze Bloody Mary is an olive-topped pizza slice inside a bloody mary.

wtf

 

[RBH]

Minnesota Twins, Target Field - The College Daze Bloody Mary is an olive-topped pizza slice inside a bloody mary.

 

[Gravidee]

I feel like I'm going to get a heart attack just by looking at some of these.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Because fuck it, pizza in a bloody mary.

Also, the head food guy at the park was probably told to "Make something crazy" back in December, and forgot about it until they had to order supplies in March.

 

[zychi]

you left out the white sox. they have a full dinner in a helmet

pizza burger!

 

[Baha]

This is like the laziest one of the bunch.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Minnesota Twins investing as much in their concession staff and ideas as they do with their on the field product. They could have stole an idea from the state fair last year that was ten times better than that bloody mary abomination.

 

[scabro]

hnnnggghh

 

[BennyBlanco]

That pretzel dog is probably amazing.

 

[blackflag]

It's called 90's style cargo pants.

Hell yes. When I went to see pulp fiction in the theater I carried a bottle of Boone's farm in each pocket

Most of their newer entries appear to be drinks:

Minnesota Twins, Target Field - Key lime milkshake with beer.

Minnesota Twins, Target Field - Creamsicle-style milkshake with Blue Moon beer.

 

[shira]

oooooooo

 

[TheSadRanger]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna try the candy flavored bacon next time I go to Globe Life. Hell I might even get some deep fried Oreos to.

 

[Sanjuro]

Deep fried Oreos is basically a warm Cookie Crisp.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What the shit is this?

"Holy shit guys, we got hammered last night and forgot that we were supposed to come up with a new concession item to present to the owner today! What the fuck are we gonna do?"

"I don't know....shit grab a piece of leftover pizza, throw it in that half-empty margarita cup..."

 

[timetokill]

The Chicken and Waffle Cone one looks awesome

 

[webkatt]

That pizza thing is fake right?

IT HAS TO BE!

 

[Malo]

 

[Ultratech]

Welp...guess I might have to make my way to a Rangers game eventually.

Their menu looks pretty crazy.
