Deep-Fried Madness: It's State Fair Season
Late summer means one thing to red-blooded American food fans: We're in prime state fair season! No other type of festival truly puts American food inventiveness on full display--and by inventiveness, we mean coming up with new ways to put stuff on a stick and deep fry it.
Without state fairs, we would never have tasted delicacies such as corn dogs, deep-fried Twinkies or deep-fried Oreos. The Indiana State Fair just ended this weekend and pleasantly introduced the world to this deliciousness: Deep-fried bananas foster cheesecake on a stick. Wow.
But surely that won't be the only culinary delight we get to taste this year. After the jump, a big, big list of state fairs currently underway and yet to come.
