If you're planning on checking out the Minnesota Twins this year at Target Field, you're in for quite a treat.
Not only is Joe Mauer back in action, but Target Field will be introducing some new foods, even a dish designed by world renowned chef Andrew Zimmern.
"This year we've got three new and exciting items coming in," said Pete Spike, the GM for Delaware North Companies' Minnesota Sportservice, which runs food services at Target Field. "The first I would say is our relationship with Mac's Fish and Chips in St. Paul -- great notoriety for the freshness of their product. It's going to be a fresh battered walleye fillet, served with fries and a lemon wedge and choice of tartar sauce, if you wish."
According to PublicRadio.org, fish and chips will cost $11.50. It will also be sold at the "State Fair Classics" stand on the stadium concourse.
It should come as no surprise that the host from the Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods" was behind the stadium's most unique dish.
"The most daring dish comes courtesy of television foodie Andrew Zimmern, who is bringing some of his AZ Canteen food truck fare to the stadium," reads the article. "The featured item will be a Cabrito Butter Burger, with a mix of goat and lamb meat, and a side of chips, available for $13 from a cart near section 120. You can wash it down with a cup of purple hibiscus punch for another $4.50."
The stadium will also be offering a new concession called "Panino's Baked Sandwiches" where hungry baseball fans can order wraps with chicken, celery, Swiss cheese, buffalo or spaghetti sauce and meatballs with mozzarella stuffed inside. Those items will sell between $10-$12.
The article also lists a number of new items available at the ballpark as well, which are sure to strike up an appetite:
* Fish tacos: Corn tortillas filled with mahi-mahi, pico de gallo, guacamole and salsa fresca with corn torilla chips ($13)
* Meatloaf sandwich: Slice of meatloaf with fried onions, barbeque sauce ($11)
* Walleye on a spike: Walleye strips, breaded and skewered, bigger than last year ($14)
* Summer Fiesta Salad: Romaine and iceberg lettuce, adobo chicken, black beans, sweet corn, roma tomatoes, green onions, red and yellow peppers, fried tortilla strips and mango chili lime vinaigrette ($9)
* Ice cream sandwiches: Vanilla bean ice cream between triple chocolate chip cookies ($6)
Target Field will also be replacing sausage products and adding beer stands to key locations.
