The new selections include Stadium Burnt Ends, To-Fuego Tacos, and the Double Play Donut Parfait, which were designed to offer unique spins on traditional ballpark fare.

News Center 7’s Xavier Hershovitz sampled some of those foods.

Davis described the Stadium Burnt Ends.

“Southwest smoked sausage, cut and scored, deep fried too crispy, barbecue sauce, barbecue rub, white barbecue sauce over the top with a little bit of pickle, red onions,” he said.

There is also the Fuego Tacos.

“Tofu cooked down with those chipotle peppers and a little bit of tomatoes. And it’s, it’s really a killer product with jalapeno aioli, pickle, red onions, Cotija cheese,” said Davis.

Last, but certainly not least, the double play donut parfait.

“It’s got cinnamon sugar donuts, banana pudding, whipped cream, cinnamon toast, crunch, vanilla wafers, and caramel sauce,” said Davis.

Opening Day festivities for the Cincinnati Reds are today at Great American Ball Park.

Fans will have access to the new items on the menu throughout the stadium when the season officially starts.

The first pitch between Cincinnati and Boston is scheduled for 4:10 p.m.
