Atlanta Braves debut the Burgerpizza

BONNIE BENWICK / WASHINGTON POST

Of all the over-the-top ballpark concessions making their 2016 MLB Opening Day debuts, the deep dish style Burgerizza at Turner Field in Atlanta has generated the most media buzz thus far. It’s not hard to see why, as it contains basic college food groups and is bigger than the average human head.

Of all the over-the-top ballpark concessions making their 2016 MLB Opening Day debuts, the Burgerizza at Turner Field in Atlanta has generated the most media buzz thus far. It’s not hard to see why, as it contains basic college food groups and is bigger than the average human head.

Billed as 20 ounces of grilled beef patty with cheddar cheese and bacon sandwiched between two eight-inch pizzas, the creation’s $26 price tag matches its heft.

Delaware North, the team’s new food and beverage concessionaire based in Buffalo, developed the concept plus others in November of last year. It held tastings for the Braves executive team in February and March, “and they were fun,” says Victoria Hong, the vendor’s director of corporate communications.

As to the official number of servings, a Braves spokesperson said Monday that it’s described as “shareable.” Delware North says the Burgerizza was designed to feed a family of four.

Nutritional analysis, based on four servings:  890 calories, 58 grams fat, 25 grams saturated fat, 2 grams trans fat, 47 grams protein, 160 milligrams cholesterol, 1580 milligrams sodium, 43 grams carbohydrates, 2 grams fiber, 6 grams sugar.

Ed. note – yes, the Burgerizza is already legendary… after one game… even in a Wa-Post article reprinted for A Rhode Island paper.
