Deep-Fried Meat Confections

This Stadium Food Snack Wraps Shredded Brisket in Funnel Cake Batter

— April 10, 2017 — Lifestyle
For the 2017 season, Globe Life Park (the home of the Texas Rangers) is introducing new stadium food snacks such as its 'Texas Snowballs.'

At the base of this unusual sweet and savory stadium snack is shredded brisket that is encased in a coating of deep-fried funnel cake batter that has been covered in powdered sugar to mimic the look of a snowball. From the outside, the snack balls could easily fool a person into thinking of them as a confection, but once bitten into, they reveal a dark, meaty center.

Across the United States, sports stadiums are experimenting with unique sweet and savory flavor crossovers. For instance, for the new year, Coors Field added Apple Pie Nachos to its menu, while Chase Field is now serving a Funnel Cake Chicken Sandwich.
Trend Themes
1. Sweet and Savory Flavor Crossovers - Opportunity for food manufacturers to create innovative snacks that combine traditionally sweet and savory flavors.
2. Unconventional Stadium Food - Potential for entrepreneurs to develop unique and unexpected food offerings that cater to sports fans' adventurous palates.
3. Novelty Food Presentation - Room for designers and restaurateurs to create visually appealing food presentations that surprise and delight customers.
Industry Implications
1. Food Manufacturing - Opportunity for food manufacturers to develop new products that cater to the demand for unconventional flavor combinations.
2. Sports Entertainment - Potential for sports stadiums to enhance the fan experience by offering innovative and memorable food options.
3. Restaurant and Culinary Design - Room for designers and restaurateurs to collaborate and create visually captivating dishes that amaze customers.
