Behold The Cotton Candy Hot Dog

Someone who enjoys the mix of salty and sweet has taken the concept a bit too far. Behold, the Cotton Candy Hot Dog.

The culinary curiosity is brought to us by the Erie Seawolves, the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The plain hot dog, which appears to have done nothing to deserve this, is wrapped around a cotton candy ‘bun.” And, if that wasn’t enough, the only condiment allowed on the already sickly-sweet dog, are Nerds candies.

The Cotton Candy Dog was part of the Erie Seawolves “Sugar Rush Night.” We’d say they succeeded.

Minor League Baseball Team Has Released The Chickle, A Pickle Stuffed With Chicken

The Fresno Grizzlies, sometimes known as The Tacos, is having some fun with food again. Their latest entry is the Chickle, a spicy chicken and pickle hybrid.

However, this is no chicken sandwich with lame pickle slices included. In this age of bun-less eating, the pickle houses the chicken in some sort of franken-taco. The Chickle will be available at today’s Grizzlies’ game.

There’s A Minor League Baseball Team Called The Tacos

At least for one night, the Fresno Grizzlies will be known as The Fresno Tacos. The Houston Astros affiliate will adopt a name change and sport some certified-awesome taco apparel.

The P.R. move is to help support and promote the Grizzlies’ fifth annual “Taco Truck Throwdown,” where 25 taco trucks will park outside the Grizzlies’ stadium, and are expected to serve over 30,000 tacos.

The event, as well as an actual baseball game, will take place on Aug. 6th, which is sadly not a Tuesday. Get it… Taco Tuesday? Never mind… here’s a taco hat.

Krispy Kreme Bacon Hot Dog Is Here To Help Save Baseball

Krispy_Kreme_Donut_Dog

After the Churro Dog was introduced, and immediately made baseball more interesting, along comes a food item that will make nine innings seem like a monster truck rally in an active volcano.

The Krispy Kreme Bacon Hot Dog sees your Churro Dog and raises you a doughnut, bacon, tubed meat and raspberry jelly. The franken-food is being served to unsuspecting patrons at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, DE. — home to the minor-league Blue Rocks.

Unfortunately, the concoction is without a proper name. So, they’re crowdsourcing official names for this thing, and rewarding winners with tickets to a baseball game. Just make sure to grab a Krispy Kreme Doughnut while you’re there — it’ll help.

Behold The Churro Dog

Churros do not need any help to be awesome. But if they are to be messed with, then you might as well go all out.

Enter, the Churro Dog… A dessert concoction that not only improves upon the already perfect churro, but might just replace traditional hot dogs altogether.

The Churro Dog is actually a new offering at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now to the important stuff… One churro, topped with three scoops of frozen yogurt, whipped cream, chocolate and caramel sauce, all placed within a chocolate-glazed donut.

How many calories are in the Churro Dog? Who cares? Go Diamondbacks!! Go Churro Dog!!
