Here are the new foods at Target Field for the 2022 Twins season
The new food vendors and dishes available at Target Field this summer have been announced and they feature a Lake Elmo-based "pie" shop, street tacos from a popular Roseville restaurant, and an award-winning Twin Cities family business that specializes in nuts.
“We’ve expanded our concessions offerings to include several new items from both longtime local partners and others who are new to the ballpark,” said Pete Spike, onsite general manager of the Minnesota Twins' catering partner Delaware North. “We are looking to give fans a true taste of the Minneapolis-St. Paul region and be certain we have something for everyone.”
Here is the list of local partners and new food items for the upcoming season, which is scheduled to begin this Thursday when the Twins host the Seattle Mariners, though nasty weather conditions could push the opener to Friday.
- Mac’s Fish and Chips (Minneapolis): A longtime Target Field partner brings its hand-battered walleye with sea salt and jalapeño-lime tartar sauce. Served with French fries. Available at Townball Tavern.
