Having the Year of Bacon platform has given us a chance to come up with fun and creative items in each of these categories that Biscuits fans have come to love.” Anytime the team is playing at home, you can order Bacon on A Stick, Bacon-wrapped Hot Dogs, Bacon- wrapped Corn on the Cob, Candied Bacon Crumbles on Ice Cream and, of course, a Bacon Biscuit.
