GRAND CHUTE (WLUK) — A grilled cheese sandwich featuring bacon hogged the number one spot in the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers’ annual Food Fight.
The 3 Little Pigs Grilled Cheese submitted by Ryan Gill of Sturtevant in Racine County, will be on the concessions menu this season at Fox Cities Stadium.
The sandwich, featuring Nueske’s bacon, ham, pulled pork and three different types of cheese sandwiched between three slices of Texas toast and served with a side of tomato-bacon aioli coming out on top, earned nearly 5,000 online votes.
It beat out four other finalists: PB & J Bacon Burger, Bacon BB (Base on Balls) Burger, Bacon Patty Melt and California BLT Grilled Cheese.
Gill will receive a prize pack courtesy of Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Meats, four vouchers for any home game during the regular season, four vouchers for their food item, an opportunity to throw out the first pitch before a 2025 Timber Rattlers game.
The 3 Little Pigs joins an impressive list of past Food Fight winners: Gyro Waffle Fries, Almighty Pork Sandwich, the Dinger Dog, the Grilled Cheese Chicken Sandwich, Rattler Bites, Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls, Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Sweet-Salty-Savory Burger, and the Show Sandwich.
The Timber Rattlers open the 2025 season at home against the Cedar Rapids Kernels on Friday, April 4. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m.
