"The menu for the 2010 N.C. State Fair was unveiled Monday, and among the new offerings is a Krispy Kreme hamburger, which is a burger between two glazed doughnuts. Cheese and bacon are optional. There’s a funnel cake named chocolate obssession and Kool-Aid pickles, also known as Koolickles. The pickles are soaked in a combination of the sugary drink mix and pickle brine. For fairgoers whose crave anything battered and dipped into a bubbling basket of oil, the menu has deep-fried honey buns, Chips Ahoy cookies, chocolate pie, Frito pie and bacon and cheese mashed potato bites. The one-pound hot dog comes as is. Dessert includes a frozen chocolate-covered Twinkie. To wash it all down, try the pineapple lemonade."

i like the salty food. i like the corn on the cob, bbq, ribbon fries, fried okra (and other veggies), hot wisconsin cheese, etc, etc

i also like the frozen bananas on a stick and caramel apples (for the sweet stuff)...not really into funnel cake or any of the deep fried twinkie type stuff

I didn't go last year but I may go this year. I wonder if the Frito Pie is any good?

10/11/2010 9:36:50 PM

apple cider slushies are FTMFW. I have never had one until we went to the football game @ GT this year, and there was a vendor on the concourse from the Blue Ridge mtns. It is FANTASTIC

roasted corn
lemonade
Al's fries w/ malt vinegar & ketchup
chocolate-dipped frozen cheesecake

and considering trying the maple cotton candy. Is this delicious?

i only went to the state fair a couple of times, but now that i'm no longer in nc i miss it.

fatties ITT

10/12/2010 10:50:39 AM

When did fair food go from being "indulgent but good" to "let's compete to see who can create the most ridiculously fattening food this year"?

10/12/2010 10:53:40 AM

Doughnut cheeseburgers are old news

10/12/2010 10:53:40 AM

YES. This is the one thing I get EVERY year.

10/12/2010 2:30:25 PM

I want to go with like a dozen people so everyone can buy one nastily delicious thing and share them. Because there are several things I want to try, but I don't want to have to buy a whole one of everything.

10/12/2010 2:31:52 PM

that's a good idea

I always want to try soooo many things, but fill up pretty quickly

Good call. I forgot to add that to my list.

10/12/2010 3:22:58 PM

Kiwanis Ham Sandwiches
Al's Fries
Mini-Donuts
Steak Sandwich beside Dorton Arena
NC State Icecream
Roasted Corn near rabbit barn
Fried Dough (funnel cake isn't as good to me)
Butcher Boys Steak and Cheese Pita
Take home some maple cotton candy from inside the flea market building
stop in the same building and get some free hushpuppies from house-autry mills

That is my usual routine
I want to try out some of the new stuff including the doughnut hamburger

10/12/2010 3:36:04 PM

Mini donut stand has been packed last 2 times I went to the fair. That was my shit growing up, but not waiting an hour+ for those little cinnamon sugar flavored bastards.

10/12/2010 5:20:08 PM

i waited less than 10 minutes last time. i've never waited more than 10 minutes for them

10/12/2010 6:01:18 PM

Waiting in line for food is for Soviets.

ITT I'm a fatass.

Here's what me and my girlfriend shared:

1) McBride's Smoked Turkey Leg (delicious)
2) Bacon and Cheese Fried Mashed Potato Bites (awful, awful horseshit) & Lemonade (I couldn't find where the Pineapple Lemonade was)
3) Hill's Roasted Corn w/ Butter (delicious)
4) Kiwanis Ham Biscuit (first time, ham was good, biscuit bland)
5) Dozen Cinnamon Mini Doughnuts (first time, best thing ever)
6) Charlie Barefoot & Sons Cheese Steak (always good)
7) Hot Wisconsin Cheese Cheddar-Nuggets w/ Ranch (first time, was good)
8) (Log Cabin Looking Place) Chocolate Eclair and Hot Chocolate (also awesome)

So the only things I kinda wanted that I didn't find was the Pineapple Lemonade, so if I go back on Hunger Relief night I'll look for that. I was interested in the Gourmet Funnel Cakes but girlfriend doesn't like funnel cake and I've never been that crazy about them either, so we skipped them. The only major disappointment was the bacon and cheese mashed potato bites. It's mashed potatoes with a FEW bacon bits, deep fried, and served with nacho-cheese dipping sauce. You can't taste the bacon, and it just tastes weird.

ttttttttt

10/16/2010 1:27:07 PM

pineapple lemonade is near dorton arena......sort of near the mattress "dome" and the CW22 booth between dorton and the education building.

10/16/2010 9:18:04 PM

Al's seasoned fries with vinegar, chocolate funnel cake, pineapple lemonade, Mt Olive jalapeño pickle, frozen cheesecake, Italian sausage with peppers & onions, cheese fries.

10/17/2010 8:30:01 PM

I ate the following:

Fried Oreos
Lemonade
Philly Cheese Steak
Fried PB & Banana Sandwich
1 Slice of Supreme Pizza
Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburger
Choc/Vanilla Twist Ice Cream on a Waffle Cone
half of a Choc. covered banana
Choc. covered apple

still hungry (damn sugar)...oh well

10/17/2010 9:28:08 PM

Where is the fried pb&b at?

10/17/2010 9:28:54 PM

10/17/2010 9:34:06 PM

I saw this at the fair

10/17/2010 10:04:15 PM

Lots of fail? Yeah, I saw that, too.

10/17/2010 10:05:53 PM

pickles were gross. Here's what my group ate:

smoked turkey leg
fries
lemonade
fried oreo
fried Reese's peanut butter cup
Luther burger
barbecue sandwich
catfish sandwich
cinnamon-sugar mini doughnuts
sweet tea
deep fried pecan pie
Old fashioned cherry soda, orange soda, and cherry root beer
roasted sweet corn
deep fried moon pie
kool aid pickle
chocolate covered "pig licker" bacon
dill pickle
tiger butter apple
maple cotton candy
blooming onion

Deep fried pecan pie was the best. "Koolickles" were the worst. The Luther was surprisingly pleasant and tasted sort of like those sausage/pancake dogs.

"deep-fried honey buns"

i thought honey buns were a naturally fried product - no?

10/17/2010 10:29:21 PM

Packman92, how was the fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich?

10/17/2010 10:33:06 PM

I had:

Corn on the cob
deep fried snickers
deep fried Reese's cups
deep fried zucchini
pickle

All were great.

10/17/2010 10:34:13 PM

I think Hills Corn of the Cob was the best corn I had there, my friends and I each bought a different ear from each place and compared and we found Hills to be the best (it is over by waterfall with huge ear of corn on top)

10/17/2010 10:35:33 PM

Fried PB and Banana was delicious...had some sort of cinnamon sugar on top of the bread as well


If you come in by Dorton Arena, the stand I went to for it is to the left a little ways...I think if you type in peanut butter and banana it comes up on the Fair website

anyone else take your nalgene (or other water bottle) and get it filled with soda/lemonade/whatever for $1 at the butcher brothers booth(s)?

10/18/2010 9:36:33 AM

^
Tell me more, kind sir.

10/18/2010 10:36:24 AM

the butcher brothers booth (i think that's what it is across from the nc state ice cream) sells "souvenir" cups for $5, but it also says refills ("ours or theirs") are $1

we took two 32oz nalgenes and 1 32oz "theirs" lemonade cup to them and they filled them with whatever for $1

*shrug*

10/18/2010 10:39:56 AM

Nice.

10/18/2010 10:41:58 AM

10/18/2010 11:34:44 AM
