You may gain 10 pounds just reading about the new food being launched by the Atlanta Braves this year.

The Turner Field baseball stadium, home of the Atlanta Braves, will be offering some innovative new food for the 2016 season. The biggest new item making headlines is the "burgerizza," which is exactly how it sounds, a 20 oz. cheeseburger with bacon stuck between two slabs of pizza. Check out some photos of the new item below:

The burgerizza is expected to cost $26, according to ESPN reporter Darren Rovell.

There's also the T.E.D. a.k.a. The Everything Dog, which is a foot-long hotdog that contains fries, chili, nacho chips, beer cheese and jalapenos, topped with popcorn and Coca-Cola-infused BBQ sauce.

The T.E.D. is expected to cost $15.

Then there's The Punisher, which is rib meat drenched in Monster energy drink-infused BBQ sauce. This will cost $18.

The $16 Tater Top Chop includes a layer of tater tots that's loaded with bacon, melted cheese and jalapenos, then layered with even more tater tots, with Coca-Cola-infused ketchup served with it.

So what's with the crazy new food additions?

"Food and beverage really becomes one of the ways that a fan interacts with their whole experience of coming to a baseball game," Derek Schiller, Braves' executive vice president of sales and marketing, told Fox Sports. "What you get to eat, the smells, tastes, the flavors of a baseball game, are very important to the overall experience."

Shawn Mattox, general manager of Delaware North Sportservice, spoke about the new ideas as well.

"We pride ourselves on being innovative. One of the things we like to do is have fun with the food that we prepare ... While hot dogs and popcorn will always be a tradition, we like to experiment with food, have fun with food," he said.

This will be the final season for the Braves at Turner Field, so it looks like the powers that be are hoping to give diehard fans some tasty, original treats before moving to SunTrust Park for the 2017 baseball season.
