American baseball fans have always enjoyed a hotdog at the ballpark. Now a select few can enjoy a bacon hotdog wrapped in a glazed Krispy Kreme “doughnut bun” — all covered with raspberry sauce.
A Single-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, the Wilmington Blue Rocks, will now offer the creation at games. The team, which plays in Wilmington, Delaware, is still looking for an official name for the product.
Images of the hotdog were tweeted out Wednesday by ESPN’s Darren Rovell and reported on by the sports website Bleacher Report.
“I suggest [naming it] ’the Groanut,’ because one of these bad boys coupled with two Bud heavies equals you on the floor, instantly hungover and wallowing noisily in that hellish no man’s land beneath the stadium seats,” Bleacher Report’s Dan Carson said.
“Enjoy your Groanuts, guys. Just please have a spotter available to catch you as you whimper and pass out in a pile of sugary meat sweats,” he added.
