Milwaukee Brewers Manager's Unique Snacking Habit Goes Viral, Leads to Pancake Promotion
In an unexpected turn of events, the eating habits of Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy have become the talk of the town. Murphy's unconventional practice of keeping food in his pockets, particularly pancakes, has gone viral following a recent interview.
The manager's peculiar habit, which dates back to around 2017, involves stashing snacks such as bagels, waffles, pancakes, and even cold pizza in his uniform or hoodie pockets. This quirk allows him to grab quick bites during day games when the day gets away from him.
The viral moment occurred when Murphy pulled a pancake from his pocket during an interview, leading to a promotion where "Murph’s Pocket Pancakes" are now available at American Family Field during Sunday games for the rest of the 2025 season.
The promotion includes a "Ball Four Pocket Pack" priced at $4.99, which comes with four pancakes and a choice of maple syrup or strawberry compote dipping sauce. For those with a heartier appetite, a "Double Chicken 'n' Pancakes Pocket Pack" is also on offer, priced at $7.99. This pack includes two pancakes stuffed with chicken tender and topped with chopped bacon and a maple syrup drizzle.
The Brewers, who currently boast the best record in the major leagues, have not lost a game since the viral pancake incident. Before the promotion, Murphy's food of choice for the dugout was bagels. However, he has been known to consume a bagel, waffle, or pancake rolled up during day games.
In an interview before Friday's game, Murphy explained that they have been doing this since 2017. He also mentioned that he can eat cold pizza without staining his uniform by folding it up like a sandwich.
This weekend's series against the New York Mets will mark the start of the sale of "Murph’s Pocket Pancakes" at American Family Field. It seems that the unique snacking habit of Pat Murphy has not only become a source of amusement but also a delicious addition to the stadium's food offerings.
