There are 189 food vendors across the grounds ... so it would be impossible for someone to say they didn't see anything that caught their eye. Special dietary options such as gluten-free and sugar-free are also available.
The Fair also ha
s an even easier way to find the right snacks; just text "FoodFinder" to 82672 to access the Mobile Food Finder or download the free Mobile Food Finder app for Driod or iPhone operating systems. So lets jump in to some food, shall we?
Most people go to the Fair with at least one other person ... lets make it a food-day-for-two!
To start off: deep-fried vegetables. I got mine from Salty's Concessions. (A quick fact about Salty's: during the 2010 Fair, they sold over 133 gallons of deep-fried pickles.)
Why are they so delicious?
- Who doesn't love fried food?
- It's good to have some fun with foods that are normally plain.
- They taste GREAT! The batter was buttery and the vegetables being fried actually held in the great juiciness.
- Simple food. They weren't greasy so I didn't have to wipe my hands every time.
- Easy walking food!
- Plus, it came in a souvenir bucket!
The pork parfait. Or as I like to call it ... a meal in a cup!
Shredded pork, mashed potatoes and barbeque sauce layered in a cup and is topped with cheese and a cherry tomato.
Easily split between two people.
The shredded pork is incredibly tender and melted in my mouth.
The barbeque sauce had that perfect kick of hot and sweet and combined magically.
The potatoes mixed well with the meat and the the combo reminded me of a home-cooked meal.
And topped with cheese and a tomato - it really pus a smile on my face!
But what else could you split between at least two people? Cupcakes! But not any boring, regular frosted cupcakes. How about Kimmy's Cupcakes? They're decorated to look like various fair foods!
Kimmy's Cupcakes is a brand new establishment and is currently just a traveling vendor from Min
nesota going to different fairs. Their cupcakes represent fair favorites and the most iconic fun foods. I tried their hot dog, cheeseburger, popcorn and the waffle bowl sundae.
The cupcakes were SO fun! They were hard to eat because they just looked VERY cool.
The popcorn cupcake had a great red-velvet cake. The hot dog was the perfect balance between cake and icing. The cheeseburger was the most creative. The waffle bowl sundae had the perfect crunch to add with the cupcake.
The Fair has a lot to offer. From corndogs to cream puffs and deep-fried Kool-Aid to funnel cakes. There's something for you!
Don't worry ... I shared with the other interns all this food over the course of the day!
