What comes to mind when you think of ballpark fare? Hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, ice cream? 🌭🍿🍦🥜 Think again.

The Columbia Fireflies have featured some pretty different concessions over their last three seasons. (Anyone remember last season’s BBQ-flavored crickets?)

Now, they are choosing one more funky/fresh menu item to add to their food offerings for the upcoming MiLB season, starting April 4. They’ve boiled it down to four options – and now they’re letting COLAtoday readers (you) vote on the one new item that will go on the 2019 menu.

This is how it’ll work: Read about the four options below. Then click on our poll to see photos and vote for the item you want to try most (voting ends Sunday at noon).

The item with the most votes will “win” and you’ll be snackin’ on it while chillin’ with Mason in the Bojangles’ Berm in no time.

First, here are the four menu items you’ll choose from:

🌽 Street Corn: A common Mexican street food, elote is grilled corn on the cob coated with a mixture of cotija cheese, mayo, sour cream, chile powder + lime (before getting topped with more cheese). The sweet/salty/spicy combo makes an addictive veggie.

🍔 Bacon Waffle Burger: A 6-oz. grilled burger topped with two slices of Applewood smoked bacon + American cheese, between two warm Belgian waffles with pearl sugar pieces. A sweet twist on a classic. Built for comfort, not speed.

🐽 Jar-B-Q: A commemorative mason jar layered with pulled pork, mac and cheese, coleslaw + baked beans. “Have you ever met a person, you say, ‘Let’s get some parfait,’ they say, ‘H*ll no, I don’t like no parfait’? Parfaits are delicious.” Yes – even this “savory parfait,” as the BBQ-lovin’ Fireflies staff calls it.

🍖 Hog Hammers: Two 4-oz. bone-in pork shanks on top of a bed of french fries. This is actually the reincarn(avore?)ation of an original menu item from the 2016 season. A one-handed main dish, à la turkey legs at the State Fair.

...and the winner is: Street Corn, with 46% of votes.

See poll results below.
