bedsitter23As the Iowa State Fair ends, it seems time to make mention of the unusual food that was displayed this year.
There's always something to grab the headlines (Fried Butter was a favorite in recent years).
This year's big draw was the Double Bacon-Wrapped Corn Dog.
Behold!
Local tv interviewed one person who tried it,and he said that you really couldn't tell there was Bacon. i didn't have one, but my informal poll of two people I knew, was 1 to 1 like/dislike.
For me, red-velvet funnel cake sounded like the real winner.
Of course, maybe the next great food item wasn't something for sale at the fair, but something that was created at the Fair.
Eileen Gannon is flying to Seattle to compete as one of six finalists in a Seattle's Best Coffee contest with her brew. Gannon won a round at the Iowa State Fair and takes her Spiced/Caramelized Bacon/Pumpkin Coffee to the National Finals.
