NEWEST FOOD ITEM ANNOUNCED

« Back

April 1, 2008 - The Gateway Grizzlies are proud to announce that they will be adding a new concession item to GCS Ballpark for the 2008 season. The Grizzlies, along with J&J Snacks Foods Corporation and Frank’s Red Hot have put together “Baseball’s Best Soft Pretzel.” “Baseball’s Best Soft Pretzel” will consist of a J&J Snack Foods SUPERPRETZEL® that is marinated in Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce and served with mozzarella cheese melted over the top of it. The soft pretzel will come with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing and will cost $3.50. The Grizzlies have added a unique concession item each of the last four seasons, making the Gateway Grizzlies experience at GCS Ballpark about much more than just baseball. Last season, “Baseball’s Best Slider” made its way into concessions. It utilized a thin-sliced, steam-grilled, square-shaped burger topped with cheese and grilled onions that is then breaded and deep-fried. The Grizzlies and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts teamed up in 2006 to create “Baseball’s Best Burger.” The burger consisted of a thick and juicy burger topped with sharp cheddar cheese and two slices of bacon. The burger is then placed in between each side of a Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut. The burger was an instant hit and gained the Grizzlies and Krispy Kreme alike National recognition. The tradition began in 2004 when Baseball’s Best Hotdog hit GCS Ballpark. It consisted of a 1/5 pound Farmland 8 inch All Beef Black Angus Hot Dog, topped with two strips of freshly cooked bacon, 1 oz. Sautéed Onions, 1 oz. Sautéed Sauerkraut and ½ oz. Cheddar Cheese Sauce, all on a fresh baked bun. In 2005, the Swiss Brat was introduced. The “Swiss Brat” is made from a Landshire Bratwurst with a slice of Swiss cheese in the middle of it. 1oz. of Sautéed Sauerkraut is served on top. “We have had the opportunity to bring in a new concession item for the past four seasons and each of them have been very successful. We look forward to Baseball’s Best Pretzel and the excitement it will bring to the ballpark,” said Grizzlies General Manager Tony Funderburg. In addition to the “Baseball’s Best” line, the Grizzlies will also feature one specialty item per home stand during the 2008 season. Each specialty item was suggested by a Grizzlies staff member. A few examples of items are Bratchos, a combination of nachos and a diced bratwurst, a Twinkie Dog, Philly Cheese Steak Nachos, and Mrs. T’s Chili Cheese Pierogies.
