For the spring and summer season, Kauffman Stadium is now introducing the public to a new menu item that distinctly stands out from other stadium sandwiches.
While the Pulled Pork Patty Melt does offer a reinterpretation of the classic pulled pork melt, this oversized version is stacked high with piles of barbecue pulled pork, fried onion pieces, bacon and shredded cheeses between two funnel cakes, topped off with a jalapeno popper and a sprinkling of powdered sugar. The hybrid creation reinvents both conventional stadium sandwiches and carnival funnel cakes, offering a must-try snack that will likely need to be split with another person to be finished completely.
In time for a new season of sports, stadiums across the US are introducing a variety of new menu items to dazzle spectators.
