Comstock Park, MI – – Tuesday, March 21, 2023 – – Once again, the West Michigan Whitecaps are serving up the unexpected at LMCU Ballpark this summer.
“The annual Fan Food Vote is a promotion the public looks forward to every year,” said Ben Love, Promotions and Fan Entertainment Manager for the West Michigan Whitecaps. “Our staff loves this promotion because we get to see all kinds of creative recipes flood in – even submissions from out of state. This year was no exception, and we are excited to announce that The Firecracker Dog, submitted by Marc Viquez, took first place.”
The Firecracker Dog – A grilled hot dog served on a steamed bun, smeared with cream cheese, and topped with grilled onions, peppers, and crispy jalapeno chips. “If you like it hot and flavorful, be ready for an assault on your taste buds,” laughs Marc. “It is one of a kind, perfect for the ball game, and only found at LMCU Ballpark. Do you need another reason to see the Whitecaps this summer?”
In addition to The Firecracker Dog, you’ll find a variety of new, delicious food options available on the concourse this season:
-
The newly founded Queso Castle, found near third base, will yield cheesy, one-of-a-kind, savory delights like:

Then, it’s smothered in your choice of beer cheese, nacho cheese, white queso, smoky bacon cheddar queso, feta cheese crumbles, or shredded Mexican cheese. Top it off with peppers and onions, bacon bits, pulled pork, pulled chicken, chili, and crispy jalapeños!
