The Boomstick is found at Rangers Ballpark in Texas. As everyone knows by now, everything is bigger in Texas. For that reason, it only made sense that the Boomstick would be the biggest hot dog in baseball, as it measures out to the length of a baseball bat. I’m sure the dog loaded with toppings is good, so why is it so disgusting? It’s got about “a day’s worth of calories” in it, according to food manager Shawn Mattox.
Minor League baseball teams come up with strange food concoctions in order to lure in visitors and get publicity for the team. The West Michigan Whitecaps just so happened to create the Fifth Third Burger, which is certainly a sandwich not meant to be eaten by the weak. The four-pound burger is loaded with chili, Fritos, nacho cheese, five slices of American cheese, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream and lettuce. It measures out to 4,800 calories, 300 grams of fat and 10,000 milligrams of sodium.
The Moby Dick at Classic Park can feed up to four people. However, there are several fans that have decided to take on the mighty sandwich on their own. The 15-inch sandwich consists of fried whitefish, tartar sauce, coleslaw and a pound of french fries. It also comes out to over 2,000 calories and 200 grams of fat.
There’s nothing wrong with getting a tasty, American hot dog at the ballpark. In fact, it’s something that makes up part of the experience. With that being said, the Island Dog at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City is something I would definitely pass on. I don’t know about you but I don’t want pineapple, Mandarin oranges and Hawaiian slaw anywhere near a hot dog.
The StrasBurger, which is named after Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg, can be found at Nationals Park. In theory, the eight-pound beast of a burger sounds intriguing. Not to mention, the fact that a pitcher of beer comes along with the purchase makes it that much more desirable. There’s nothing too outrageous about the toppings as it comes with what is usually found on a burger. The disgusting part is that it measures out to 10,000 calories and 700 grams of fat.
The Brunch Burger at PNC Park pushes the limits of disgusting. I’m sure there are plenty of people that would enjoy a beef/bacon patty, fried egg and cheddar cheese sandwich. In fact, that sounds rather delicious. The part that gets me is using doughnut for the buns.
The fine people at Miller Park decided that the Beast is just the beginning of all of the interesting food concoctions. They really tested the waters with the Pulled Pork Parfait. The parfait consists of pulled pork, mashed potatoes and plenty of gravy. It doesn’t sound all that disgusting but the fact that it actually looks like a parfait makes it hard to pick at.
The Original Donut Burger (formerly known as the Luther Burger) can be enjoyed at GCS Ballpark, which is home of the Illinois Gateway Grizzlies. I don’t get what the hype is with burgers and using doughnuts for buns, but Krispy Kreme doughnuts don’t belong in the same bite as bacon and beef.
The Rocky Mountain Oysters at Coors Field takes the cake when it comes to the most disgusting stadium food concoctions. I could get into specifics but it’s just easier to say that the dish is deep-fried bull testicles.
