For the past couple of years the St. Paul Saints have fully embraced their new affiliation with the Minnesota Twins. Already boasting a rabid fan base of their own, bringing top Twins prospects to CHS Field has only ratcheted up the interest. In looking to continue a tradition of exciting offerings for fans, the Saints have switched things up in recent seasons.

After trying out new foods last year, a new batch will be coming to Lowertown for 2023. Here are some visual introductions:

At Chuck & Don’s Dog Park, a new foot long hot dog is unveiled. While there is Chicago, chili cheese, and other offerings, this one includes brisket hash with a country pepper gravy. Each dog is topped with cheese and bacon as well.

Burger Depot is bringing forth two new offerings. First there is the chicken and biscuits with country gravy. This is served as somewhat of a sandwich prepared in a bowl. They will also have a fried chicken breast on a brioche bun, LTO pickle slices, and spicy mayo.

Bringing more than just burgers, the Gallery Grill is introducing Mediterranean chicken gyros. Served in a basket with chips and a pickle spear, there is lots of flavor in this dish. A grilled turkey burger can also be had here as a limited time offering.

Found at Muds Dairy Area, the Saints will have a more adult take on this childhood favorite. Mac & Cheese grows up while being dubbed Mac & Meat. Cheesy noodles doused with brisket is quite a tasty combination.

The Sandwich Lot has a pair of new offerings. First up is the Northwood chicken and wild rice soup that pairs well with its breadstick. A Tuscan chicken salad sandwich on wild rice and cranberry bread can also be found here.

Pizza isn’t the only thing that can now be found at Pies and Fries. Poutine will be in the park for the first time, and the pictured garlic cheese flatbread is served with marinara sauce. This stand will also have cinnamon sugar churros this year.

You have always been able to get the burrito helmet from the Crunch Time Stand, but now can take Mexican food on the go in the form of a walking taco. Plan on grabbing all of the fixings.

Though the field is still covered in snow, Minnesota’s Triple-A affiliate will take over in just a few weeks. What are you most looking forward to trying when you get there? Stay tuned for a Twins version of this piece after April 3.

The poutine at CHS Field is among the best food I've ever had at any ballpark in 40+ years.

Food looks fabulous, BUT not seeing any pricing on any of it; and if the "$16" price for a tap beer in the initial photo (if you can call Mich Ultra beer) is any indicator, all of those items would look to be about $20+ except may the cheese bread.

Confucious say fans who go to games for the food and beer are like sheep; they line up to get fleeced.

And I agree with that, I don't go for the "food and beer", but that doesn't mean I don't like to have a snack or quench my thirst while sitting out on a sunny day, but the idea that it's going to cost me over $30 for a drink and a sandwich seems outlandish. (yes, I realize I can get a hotdog or popcorn for less).  Huh. I just went to their website to look at ticket prices to compare against the food/drink ones and I see that they have made the ticket buying process as blurry as possible. They don't list ticket prices at all, you need to select an individual section and actually click on a seat to see how much it costs. No way to see what the "best seat available" is sorted by price at all.  Wow. I guess when you sell out almost every game, you don't need to worry about it, but TBH, I find that whole method distasteful enough that it will certainly reduce the number of games I will attend this year.
