Lehigh Valley IronPigs News Release


(Allentown, Pa.) - Two brand-new food areas, the "Sooeey'te Spot" Frozen Yogurt Bar and the "Boar-rito" Mexican stand have been added to Coca-Cola Park's vast food offerings, highlighting the new and improved ballpark menu for 2013. Other brand-new samplings include the Dietz & Watson "Brew & Brats Platz" Grill featuring regular and jalapeno bratwurst served on a pretzel bun, a one-of-a-kind bacon-wrapped hot dog along with a smoothie stand providing healthy fresh fruit drinks in a variety of unique flavors.

The "Sooeey'te Spot" Frozen Yogurt Bar - debuting later this April - is expected to be among the most visited food venues within Coca-Cola Park this summer and will feature six flavors nightly with a wide array of toppings. Mix and match in any combination to create the perfect treat and just place it on the scale and pay per ounce.

Make-Your-Own Burrito, available with either pork, beef, chicken or even vegetarian ingredients and then pile on the toppings of your choice at the all-new "Boar-rito" stand in the AT&T Plaza. This stand also includes some Coca-Cola Park favorites, including the Nacho Porker (a hearty portion of nachos heaped with shredded pork) and the Walking Taco. Quench your thirst with a variety of themed drinks that include frozen malt beverages, LandShark Lager and even Lime-A-Rita's.

The Dietz & Watson Brew & Bratz Platz Grill menu features boss hot dogs along with a brand-new specialty item, the regular or jalapeno bratwurst served with sauerkraut, onions and peppers on a savory pretzel bun with coleslaw and homemade chips.

Among the other new samplings are bacon-wrapped hot dogs - available exclusively at the Trough Grill - along with fresh fruit smoothies in a variety of flavors, including Strawberry Patch, Honest Energy and Hula Hula.
