Atlanta Braves (Truist Park)
Cleanup Burger: The “cleanup hitter” is the fourth man in the batting order in baseball, he traditionally has the most power in the upper arm. Up to four visitors are supposed to take care of this “burger” in Atlanta: grilled beef patties, topped with hash browns, smoked bacon, cheese and a fried egg, wrapped in buttermilk waffles and drowned in maple syrup.

Seattle Mariners (T-Mobile Park)
grasshopper: At first it was an exotic idea, but now the insects seasoned with chilli-lime salt have become popular with the Mariners. 312 servings are sold per home game, six dollars is even a very humane price.

Wowfulls: The pun on the waffle is quite appropriate: A freshly baked bubble waffle filled with ice cream and covered with chocolate or caramel sauce and powdered zander. The toppings you can choose from include Oreo crumbs, sprinkles or pieces of cookie dough.
Birthday Cake Milkshake: For those who want to complete the sugar rush, treat yourself to this milkshake topped with a fat caramel popcorn donut. 17 dollars are due for the fun.
Fried Chicken Sandwich: Fried chicken pieces? Nobody bats an eyelid at that. These, however, are topped with honey barbecue sauce and sandwiched between two donuts.

Texas Rangers (Globe Life Field)
Boomstick Burger: Actually always launched as a “boomstick hot dog”, the half-meter-long monstrosity has been available as a burger since 2023: beef patty, chili, nacho cheese, pepperoni and onion rings, served on a brioche bun. For $34.99, you’re supposed to feed four people.

Cincinnati Reds (Great American Ball Park)
Skyline Chili: An absolute classic. The Reds offer this chili dog to a chain restaurant, though outsiders aren’t sure exactly what it’s made of. Honestly, there’s a chili hot dog hiding under that pile of cheese.

Boston Red Sox (Fenway Park)
Avocado Fries: Because there’s nothing you can’t fry, starting this year Red Sox fans are getting breaded and fried chunks of avocado. Served with a “Green Goddess” dressing.

Kansas City Royals (Kauffman Stadium)
“Home Run” Family Platter: Meat is eaten in the American Midwest. Point. From “Chef J BBQ” you can treat yourself to two pounds of these at the Royals, namely brisket, pulled pork, ribs and pepperoni cheese sausages. There are two side dishes, pickled vegetables, bread and several sauces. Four fans should be so full.

Chicago White Sox (Guaranteed Rate Field)
The Authentic: Wow, that looks reasonably healthy at the end of the day! A whole wheat baguette comes with turkey, ham, cheddar, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and dressing. Just don’t plaster the whole thing at once…
