Braves' list of new Truist Park foods includes sandwich that's not for faint of heart

One trend that has been going on for a while now across Major League Baseball has been the introduction of bizarre and/or outlandish ballpark foods. Sometimes that involves exotic foods like the Mariners’ introduction of toasted grasshoppers, while others involve foods that are much more recognizable, but that seem like a hazard to one's health, like the Astros' brisket donut (it is actually more unhealthy than it sounds). Heading into the 2026 season, the Atlanta Braves have decided to make a push in the latter category.

While it does appear that Truist Park will not feature the "9-9-9" challenge that is spreading across MLB and keeping cardiologists busy (yet), Braves fans will be able to enjoy "The Bat Flip," which looks more like a cry for help than something someone should try to eat.

Braves' new ballpark sandwich, "The Bat Flip", looks unhealthy even by ballpark food standards

Look, we love artery-clogging deliciousness at baseball games as much as anyone. Going to the ballpark and pounding down a hot dog and maybe some nachos just feels right. However, one would have hoped that Atlanta would be content with the already obscene Home Run Stack that went for $100 a piece last year. Instead, they went even further.

"The Bat Flip" is technically a burger, but it consists of two pounds (yes, pounds) of beef patties as well as some braised short rib, pork belly, fried eggs, chipotle aioli, and jalapeños on "seven inches of brioche buns". If you can eat by yourself while attending a game in the middle of July at Truist, you need both a medal and probably some professional help.

This is pretty transparently a publicity move. They will certainly sell them at game, but probably not in huge numbers and odds are high they will be shared among multiple people most of the time. To the brave who try to eat it solo, we wish you the best of luck. Just make sure you have access to Pepto Bismol and care from your primary physician.
