The hot dogs made in Albert Lea and sold at Target Field now are available in the local grocery stores.
Schweigert hot dogs and other meats have long been available from Albert Lea grocers, but the new dogs made especially for the new home of the Minnesota Twins had been available only at the stadium.
Three of the four dogs are on shelves across Minnesota. They are the Original Twins Dog, described by Schweigert as “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 which replaces the former Twins Dome Dog,” and the Twins Dugout Dog, “an old-fashioned, natural casing, coarse ground pork and beef hot dog.”
The fourth dog is the Diner Dog. It is an extra long pork and beef hot dog available only at Hennepin Grille locations around Target Field.
