The Top 10 New Iowa State Fair Foods

Kurt here…

Let me run ’em down for ya…

The Bacon Box – Grinder Ball

This is sublime…my son is a HUGE fan of their Bacon Ball…and the Grinder Ball is just as good. If you like grinders, you’ll love this.

Brad & Harry’s Cheese Curds – Dill Pickle Flavored Cheese Curds

Absolutely great…just the right amount of pickley goodness!

Dough Crazy – Dough Crazy Sweet Stick

It’s as tall as my head, and they told us this was the “sample size”

Grater Tater – Crunchy Cool Ranch Pickle on a Stick

I mean…it’s a giant pickle wrapped in Cool Ranch Doritos, covered with ranch. I..AM…A…FAN!

Iowa Specialty Crop Growers Association – A-Hootenanny

This is super fresh, super delicious…there’s an oatmeal raisin cookie at the bottom…I would always prefer chocolate chip, but this was excellent.

Over the Top – Iowa Sweet Corn Sundae

Do NOT be afraid of Sweet Corn Ice Cream. You will love it. I’m not sure if I was fan of having actual sweet corn niblets on top…I would have just taken the sweet corn ice cream straight up.

Shrimp Shack – Shrimp Poke Bowl

I know…it’s a lot of veggies…but it’s worth it. I was addicted to Poke bowls when we went to Hawaii recently, so I was happy to dive into this. My only concern

Smith’s – Deep-Fried Strawberry Shortcake on a Stick

This was a SURPRISE! I’m not a fan of shortcake…but this was tremendous. I can’t wait to get back to the Fair for another dose.

Whatcha Smokin’ BBQ & Brew – Iowa Twinkie

It’s jalapeno, it’s cheese, it’s cream cheese, it’s bacon, it’s ranch…it’s everything…and I could have eaten 6 of these..at least.

What’s Your Cheez – Deep-Fried Bacon Brisket Mac-n-Cheese Grilled Cheese

This sandwich was a beast…in the best possible way. It’s loaded with flavor…and that’s a raspberry chipotle sauce to dip it in.

Listen…these 10 foods were crazy good…and there’s still, what, 52 others I’m going to try? I can’t wait. Absolutely CAN…NOT…WAIT!!!
