Disclaimer: I have the palate of an 8 year old. I think shrimp cocktail is exotic and only recently made the move from Morton’s salt to sea salt—and I can’t tell the difference anyway.

Target Field to feature a bloody mary garnished with slice of pizza http://t.co/R0SJYULxfM via @fsnorth #OnlyinMN pic.twitter.com/yXKpYSMDY5 — Explore Minnesota (@exploreminn) March 26, 2015
The Minnesota Twins are also trying a new take on an old favorite. You may know it as the mother’s helper or the hangover helper or perhaps just the Bloody Mary. The Twins’ new Bloody Mary will reside at Hrbek’s Pub. As the Bloody is the one alcoholic beverage that you can feel free to haphazardly toss food into, the Twins version includes a beef stick, two kinds of cheese, and an actual whole freaking piece of pepperoni pizza. At $19 a pop, this drink might actually be a good deal as you get a little booze and something to eat all in one.

The @Brewers know that if you get the nachos stuck together (on a stick) … that’s one nacho: http://t.co/wlMOtKRPke pic.twitter.com/AITPd6CQ6a

Never one to let the other Midwestern teams hog all the gluttonous food glory, the Milwaukee Brewers will be selling Inside the Park Nachos. Inside the Park Nachos, or nachos on a stick as they’ve been affectionately dubbed, consist of beef and refried beans covered in Doritos. This mess is then deep fried and topped with sour cream and cheese. ESPN quotes GM of Miller Park hospitality Jamie Hodgson as saying, “I think this is going to be a big seller because you can eat this in one hand and have a beer in the other.” Any food item that was created with my beer drinking hand specifically in mind is one I can’t pass up.
Ole Smoky Moonshine will find a home at the Great American Ballpark. Three different moonshine cocktails (Mr. Redlegs Punch, Ballpark Berry Lemonade, and Apple Pie Slammer) will be available at stands throughout the ballpark. Added bonus: the fear of moonshine-fueled Reds fans is sure to quell the need to share my opinion of longtime-Red-now-Diamondback Bronson Arroyo.
Under the belief that fried foods did not sell as well as there was no central location, the Texas Rangers will be unveiling a fried food stand. This will be a nice addition with their brand new Just Bacon stand. Featured items from the two include fried s’mOreos, chicken-fried corn on the cob, and bacon cotton candy. Is there truth to the old adage about too much of a good thing? Check out a Rangers home game this year and let us know if bacon has finally jumped the shark.
