How do French fries topped with fried cheese curds, cheese sauce and bacon sound to you?

Sounds like an ultra-cheesy amped up version of Canadian poutine to me.

And if that sounds delicious, well then you've got something to look forward to on March 28 when baseball season officially kicks off at Miller Park.

At least it looks that way. A teaser post from Fox Sports showcases some of the new foods coming to major ballparks this season, including the appropriately named "Wisconsin Ultimate Cheese Fry."

In fact, looking again at the choices – which include a big slice of pizza, a two-pound chicken strip and a chicken and waffle boat – we're pretty sure Wisconsin wins this one.
