Top 10 CA State Fair Foods | Amanda & Darik

By Admin on July 17, 2019

Some people go for the rides, others concerts, we go for THE FOOD!  Amanda remembers fondly going to the State Fair as a child and getting so excited to have a funnel cake and then tried to make them herself at home. Darik loves the gigantic turkey legs because them make him feel like he lived during the Renaissance. 

Fair food has come a long way baby!  Now there are gourmet tacos, chocolate covered bacon, and fried pie! This year you can eat your way through the CA State Fair with the brand new Food Festival Pass.  Pick 4 items from over 30 different vendors for $28.  It’s going on now through July 28th.

    This is a MUST try.  We all know that bacon makes everything better, add that to a divine cinnamon roll are you are in heaven! It’s so good that it wonBest of show, best of Division – Gold for Dessert!   Its large, and obviously very caloric.  But it’s a must try!
