It’s that time of year! The Iowa State Fair will take place August 10-20. There will be a variety of attractions, but here at Neatorama, we usually focus on the food, because every year food vendors compete to come up with the most outrageous, delicious, artery-clogging combinations to draw in publicity and hungry fairgoers. This year Iowa has 64 new gastronomic offerings from various restaurants who will be set up at the fair. Of those 64, a panel of judges has selected three finalists for the title of Best New State Fair Food.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
One is the Grinder Ball, which are bacon balls that are stuffed with mozarella, wrapped in more bacon, and then smoked and dipped in marinara sauce. They make sure to inform us that it’s gluten-free.
The Iowa Twinkie is anything but a Twinkie. This is a jalapeño pepper stuffed with pulled pork, sweet corn, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning. It is then glazed with barbecue sauce and ranch dressing.
The third finalist is the Deep-Fried Bacon Brisket Mac-n-Cheese Grilled Cheese. The title is the description.
Strangely, none of the three finalists are served on a stick. If you’re going to the Iowa State Fair, you can find the foods you want to try by downloading their app. Then you can vote for the Best New Fair Food online between August 10th and 14th. The winner will be announced August 16th, which leaves several days for everyone else to try it.
