5 wildest food items from MLB stadiums

4. Pittsburgh Cone — PNC Park (Pittsburgh Pirates)

People have eaten meat off a stick for years. Buckets and platters of meat, sure. But meat in cones? Oh, come on! This is exactly the same issue we run into with the street corn in Los Angeles. Cones are used for ice cream, and ice cream only! Before we lose our minds again, let’s get a better understanding of what the Pittsburgh Cone at PNC Park is all about. You will need a napkin or five.

As if watching Pittsburgh Pirates baseball was not challenging enough, you have to navigate a waffle cone that is stuffed with kielbasa, pierogis, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing. Again, this probably tastes amazing on a plate or on a sandwich, but when the Russian dressing slides down your wrist towards your elbow, you cannot lick it up like you are an eight-year-old.

From an Appalachian Metropolis that put french fries on a sandwich first, these super-hungry Yinzers may have bit off more than they could chew by stuffing meat into a cone like a nerd into a locker or a Washington Capitals winger into the boards. If you can eat one on a hot summer’s day getting sun-baked along the Banks of the Allegheny, you are a better man than me, or a hungrier one.

Why order a shot when you have one at the bottom of your meat cone with the Russian dressing?
