Food may not be the main attraction at Kauffman Stadium, but it is an attraction. Heading into the 2016 season, vendor Aramark says it's "loading the bases with new offerings," just in time for opening day.
Andrew Zimmern is back. The chef, who is best known for his show "Bizarre Foods," debuted as an Aramark ballpark partner last season at Kauffman Stadium, where he introduced Andrew Zimmern’s Canteen Links and Andrew Zimmern’s Canteen Skewers, serving hot dogs, brats, sausages and flat bread sandwiches.
