GRAND RAPIDS, MI (WHTC) – Voting has commenced for the annual West Michigan Whitecaps fan food contest and fans have just one more week to choose which new, calorie-busting item will be on the menu at Fifth Third Ballpark this season.
Hundreds of ideas were submitted by fans on social media and the Gordon Food Service test kitchen also proposed a few options. The list was narrowed down to eight finalists, which include such greasy delights as The High Five Burger, which is a 1/3 pound burger topped with onion rings, mozzarella sticks, French fries and Founders Ground Mustard.
Also on the list are Franky Ears, which are ears of corn that are wrapped in bacon and then deep fried. Holland is even represented on this year’s list, with the Dutch Love comprising of a pita wrap filled with turkey pot roast, French fries, gravy, and cheese curds.
For the rest of the list, go to www.whitecapsbaseball.com, where you can also vote for your favorite. Voting concludes on Friday, March 4 and the winner will be announced later next month.
