Each and every year, teams try to outdo each other with their insane concession items and 2023 is once again delivering; going above and beyond your wildest imagination.

We’ve gone through some of the most intriguing items that have been announced leading up to Opening Day and narrowed down the top choices.

What are some of the best and craziest ballpark foods that you can try across the country this season? Let’s have a look.


Atlanta Braves – The Cleanup Burger

This creation should be illegal. I know some brave soul will attempt to eat the entire thing by himself, but it is meant to feed four and has everything you need to fill you up for the afternoon.

Ingredients: Four beef patties, hash brows, sunny side up egg, cheese, maple syrup, and hickory-smoked bacon on buttermilk Belgian waffles.


Oakland Athletics – Strawberry Churro Cheesecake

All I have to say is, “yes please!”


New York Yankees – Bronx Burrito

The Yankees are playing right into the Bronx culture with this offering and bringing some platanos to the menu.

Ingredients: Fried sweet plantains, cheddar cheese, chipotle mayo, salsa verde, rice, and beans.


Tampa Bay Rays – Brisket Banh Mi

The Rays are going to offer a Vietnamese staple, the banh mi sandwich, but it’s being Americanized with some juicy brisket that will be impossible to turn down.


Chicago Cubs – Quesabirria

You can never go wrong with birria tacos, but when you add it into quesadilla form you are really taking things next level. Just make sure to grab some extra napkins.

Ingredients: Barbacoa, Spanish onions, Chihuahua cheese, and spicy ancho chile sauce loaded into a crispy tortilla.


Texas Rangers – Boomstick Burger

If you thought The Cleanup Burger was excessive, the Boomstick Burger from the Texas Rangers is next level — featuring TWO FEET of chili cheeseburgers and onion rings. Get your Pepto ready.

Ingredients: Chili cheeseburgers and onion rings.


Los Angeles Dodgers – Deep Fried Cheesecake

The Dodgers kept it nice and simple, but oddly appealing by tapping into all of our guilty pleasures with some deep-fried cheesecake.


Arizona Diamondbacks – Bacon Jalapeno Philly Fry Helmet

I dare you to say no. Nothing says ballpark food like some loaded fries and food in a tiny helmet, and this checks all the boxes.

Ingredients: Juicy steak, decadent cheese sauce, pico de gallo, jalapenos, and smoked bacon.


Toronto Blue Jays – Poutine Dog

It’s pretty simple, but sounds delicious: poutine on a hotdog.


New York Mets – Fried Chicken Sandwich

Your arteries and blood sugar will both hate you, but it seems worth it.

Ingredients: Fried chicken with honey BBQ sauce on glazed doughnut buns.


Miami Marlins – Cubano Gigante

The sandwich certainly lives up to its name. Made for 4 to 8 people, the Cubano Gigante measures a whopping 34 inches and weighs 2.5 pounds.

Ingredients: Roasted mojo pork, sweet ham, swiss cheese, mustard, pickles, and special sauce.


Cincinnati Reds – Skyline Chili Nachos

I mean, did you expect anything less?


New York Mets – Sundae Donuts Ice Cream Shakes

Good luck!
