The Hartford Yard Goats announced their latest menu item on Thursday, a hot dog with peppers, onions, bacon, and mustard, submerged in a glass of goat milk, but the timing of the announcement may have given the team away.
Hot dog? Check. Chopped peppers? Ok. Onions, bacon, and brown mustard? Sure. Goat milk? Hold on!
The Hartford Yard Goats unveilled the "Float Your Goat" menu item on Thursday. The team posted on social media that it's a quarter-pound beef hot dog with all those toppings and then submerged in a glass of 100% whole goat milk.
It should be noted the announcement was made just a few days before April Fool's Day, but the posts certainly got the internet buzzing.
