New Food: Deep-Fried Ranch Dressingwww.mnstatefair.org

Additional new bangers

My top four. Though, they've got El Burrito Mercado this year so that might be up there with Que Viet (best food at the fair).

That image genuinely made me feel a little ill

The Fair is not for the weak-willed

Is that a corn pickle dog cuz that genuinely sounds tasty

Yeah, the problem is that it’s too big and wet

Pickle chunks in the batter, simple as

It's they made it smaller it would be a top five food.

Yeah it’s classic fair stuff where the stunt gets in the way of a good execution

The Minnesota State Fair is, like the Smithsonian and Southern food, one of the things that makes me proudest to be an American

If there were a street vendor selling these, I would probably change my walking route to pick one up more often than not.

Modern American innovation is basically finding new ways to deep fry things that should not be deep fried.

Having a wedding during the state fair so people could visit is the most Minnesotan thing I've ever read.

7 years ago a dozen people showed up to do a 2-mile walk through a Minneapolis neighborhood and check out the cats peeking out their windows. Hundreds of people now attend and it's a thing. [gift link] wapo.st/3VSQ51h

This is like building the whole plane out of black boxes.

Ohhh that hurts my heart

why is the midwest

prince is dead. this is as kinky as they get.

i've been gone 40 years and still find the place oddly fascinating. at least for a week.

That’s not true

no one truly understands the ways of mad Olaf. really best that way. As my lovely bigoted 19th century irish grandma would say 'they are a filthy, nasty people'. dear sweet grandma.

That oyster mushroom ‘calamari’ looks AMAZING.
