GRAND CHUTE, Wis. (WFRV) – The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are inviting the public to its tenth annual Food Fight, set to highlight sandwiches that feature bacon.
Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Meats is partnering with the Timber Rattlers to present the 2025 Food Fight with a bacon-infused sandwich challenge.
The action begins on Thursday, February 6, with the public being invited to send their sandwich or burger recipe that includes bacon to be entered in the competition. Ideas can be submitted up until February 21. The only limitation for recipes is that the sandwich can not be deep-fried.

Five finalists will be selected and announced on February 28. A fan favorite will also be voted on, with a winner announced on March 13. The winning sandwich or burger will be available at the Nueske’s Flat Top Grill on the third base concourse.
“Nueske’s is excited about our partnership with the Timber Rattlers,” said Tanya Nueske, CEO of Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Meats. “We believe bacon is a natural complement to many types of traditional game day food. The Food Fight is the perfect venue for fans to share how they use bacon to add flavor to their recipes. We look forward to the results and the opportunity to share Nueske’s bacon with Timber Rattler fans this season.”
The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers open the 2025 season at home against the Cedar Rapids Kernels on Friday, April 4.
