COMSTOCK PARK, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – It was one of the best seasons in franchise history for the West Michigan Whitecaps, but it is an off-the-field star that is now being recognized.
Earlier in the year the Beercheese Poutine prevailed in the Whitecaps eighth annual Fan Food Voting contest. The dish has now been named “Best New Food Item,” according to Ballpark Digest. Ballpark Digest is a leading web resource for ballpark news and coverage of the culture of baseball.
Back in February, fans submitted items they would like to see severed this season and the Beercheese Poutine was nominated by Muskegon native Rusty Morningstar. This delicious combination of pulled pork, bbq sauce, beer cheese and green onions served over waffle fries was one of ten items whittled down by the Whitecaps front office and won the voting later that month.
You’ll have to wait until April and the Whitecaps 25th season to try the award winning dish. The Whitecaps will open their season on Thursday, April 5 against the South Bend Cubs.
The 2018 schedule can be downloaded at www.whitecapsbaseball.com and season tickets, groups and mini plans will go on sale later this year.
