Minneapolis, MN- Twins fans can now get a bit of the authentic baseball experience at home. Three of the hot dogs Schweigert™ meats created especially for the Minnesota Twins’ Target Field are now available at local grocers.
The three new hot dogs include: the Original Twins Dog™, a Tenderbite® hot dog made from the original Schweigert™ recipe served at the Twins first stadium in the 1960s; the Twins Big Dog™, a juicy, generously sized, all-beef, quarter-pound hot dog that replaces the former Twins Dome Dog; and the Twins Dugout Dog™, an old-fashioned, natural casing, coarse ground pork and beef hot dog.
The new line of Schweigert™ brand hot dogs have specially marked packages sporting the Minnesota Twins logo and are available at Byerly’s, Coborn’s, Country Market, Cub, Jubilee, Lunds, Super 1, Target and other select retailers throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The Schweigert™ brand has roots dating back to 1937 and is owned by Minneapolis-based Cargill. The company is producing the hot dogs at its manufacturing facility in Albert Lea, Minn.
“Nothing replaces seeing the Twins live, but this is a fun way to savor a bit of that authentic ball park flavor at home,” said David Barocco, vice president of sales and marketing, Cargill Value Added Meats Retail.
