PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — The West Michigan Whitecaps have narrowed a list of hundreds of food ideas to just 10 finalists.
Fans, including the24 Hour News 8 Daybreak team, began submitting ideas last month as part of an annual competition to add a new item to Fifth Third Ballpark’s meu.
Voting will run through Friday, March 8 on theWhitecaps’ website, and the winner will be announced later in the month.
Here is the complete list and description of the 10 finalists:
- Cow-A-Bunga Burger– Popular Hawaiian cuisine includes SPAM (yes SPAM!), pineapple (duh) and bacon (we assume, because duh, it’s bacon). That’s why we took all three of those ingredients and used them as cheeseburger toppings. Aloha indeed.
- Deep Fried Jellybeans– You certainly won’t find this delectable snack during your Halloween trick-or-treating. Even people who avoid the black jelly beans will be delighted. (Hot take: black jelly beans are delightful.)
- Fried Tequickles– Te-kee-ckles? Te-quick-les? Look, pronounce it however you like, but these pickles are breaded the deep fried and served with a tequila mango sauce, so they are sure to start a party with your tastebuds. Worms not included.
- Marge’s Donut Sundae– Forget a mask and pads, you’ll just need a napkin after you catch this donut shaped like a catcher’s mitt. This oversized donut is topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel and chocolate syrups, M&Ms, sprinkles and whipped cream and comes in at just under 3,000 calories. There’s a reason Marge’s Donut Den is a West Michigan institution.
- Oinkurrito– Here piggy piggy! Fire-braised pork is topped with bacon and cheddar mac-n-cheese and then rolled into a 12-inch flour tortilla for a savory delight. It’s OK to drool
