I love the Gateway Grizzlies

A while back, I posted about an Minor League baseball team based in Sauget, Illinois called, the Gateway Grizzlies. It seems some genius in their stadium kitchen decided to challenge the gods and created, what had been, until now, the most remarkable culinary achievement in the history of food. The Krispy Kreme Burger. You can read my original post about it here.

Well I guess the Grizzlies are finished admiring their former masterpiece, because it looks like they may have created something to challenge it for top spot at the concession stand. Behold...Baseball's Best Hot Pretzel!


This marvelous creation is a J&J Snack Foods SUPERPRETZEL marinated in Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce, served with mozzarella cheese melted over the top of of it and is served with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing. I find myself unable to speak. Bless you Gateway Grizzles....bless you.

***UPDATE***

If your read the press release for the Baseball's Best Hot Pretzel that's linked to above, you'll see that the introduction of new concession items is an annual tradition for the Grizzlies. Well we missed last season's item, and we're kicking ourselves for it. Why you ask? Check it out:


Baseball's Best Slider! It's a thin-sliced, steam-grilled, square-shaped burger topped with cheese and grilled onions that is then breaded and deep-fried. Sweet Jumping Jesus!!!

If any of you are looking for me, I'll be in Sauget, IL eating myself to death.
