Gateway Grizzlies Go for Burger Madness Grand Slam

Posted by Adam Kuban, March 21, 2007 at 12:26 PM

The Gateway Grizzlies, the Frontier League baseball team based in Sauget, Illinois, are at it again.

Last year the stadium served "The Grizzly Burger," a bacon cheeseburger served on a toasted Krispy Kreme doughnut.

This year, they're raising the bar with deep-fried White Castle sliders. Called "Baseball’s Best Sliders," they'll come two for $4. A side of cheese sauce is $1 extra.

Says Darren Rovell, the man who broke the Grizzly Burger story last year, "It’s pretty awesome when it has been sitting in the studio for an hour. I can only imagine how great it is hot out of the fryer sitting at the ballpark. I couldn’t eat too much being that I’m down a gallbladder, but it basically tastes like an onion ring burger."

On deck: Baseball road trip!
