My wife and I went to the fair this past Sunday with eating on our minds..
I fasted a full day before, knowing well what was in store for us. We started with a corn dog, not any corn dog but a freshly dipped and fried right in the trailer corn dog($3.00 the Sivori booth on the right side of Freedom Hall). Probably the best out there.
Next we made our way over to the KY Producers tent, next to Broadbent Arena. With too many options available, I tried something new from the KY Cattle Producers called a "Hot Beef Sundae"
It was a base of Mashed Potatoes, with Beef Tips? or Pot Roast? with A little cheese and a Cherry Tomato on top...Just the thing you want on a balmy August afternoon... But it was very good for $6.00(Everything good seemed to cost this much).
Colleen had a Pork Chop Sandwich from the KY Pork Producers and it lived up to what is argueably (In my mind) the best eat value the fair has to offer.
We waddled over to the Ky Proud Tent(at the entrance of the midway) where I had to get a Fresh Peach Slush($3.00) And discovered that they had a Fried Apple Basket with a Carmel Dipping thing in the middle($6.00)
Colleen had to have her Pineapple Whip,
her favorite thing at the fair,($4.00?) at the stand next door.
We wondered around for awhile to let every thing settle but then I decided I had to have a Italian Sausage with the works($6.00)
Right down the way we split a Pork Butt on a Stick($8.00)
And then walked almost back to where we started(in front of Freedom Hall) and split a Gyro($6.00)
BBBUUURRRPPP!!!!I would hate to see what my caloric intake was for the day but you only go once a year!!!!
