Hot Pretzel Bites & Brews has three varieties of fresh pretzel bites: one with nutella and strawberry sauce; another seasoned and topped with brown gravy and Pepperjack cheese; and finally a variety smothered in a Summit beer cheese sauce and topped with candied bacon ($9).
The Loon Cafe's Pecos River Red Chili is topped with sour cream, green onions and shredded cheese, and served with a side of Texas toast (price TBD). The cafe's Grape Ape is made with citron vodka and Buddy's Grape Soda.
Last year, the team's new fare included the brat dog — a homemade bratwurst stuffed with an all-beef hot dog and wrapped in bacon — a bacon tater tot dish and the College Daze bloody mary, which is served with a slice of cold pizza.
So when can you start your food crawl at Target Field? The Twins' home opener is Monday.
