Have a nice fries day! The OC fair is back from Friday July 16 to August 15. So get ready to eat fried twinkies, hot dogs, frozen lemonade, and more goodies.
We got a glimpse of the food at the San Diego County Fair and are happy to report that your favorite dealers have survived the pandemic, although some had to change gears.
“We have personally made a huge pivot. We were closed at our Texas event at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and 30 days later launched a new division, Sanitize Now, which was a mobile disinfection and disinfection company, â€said Dominic Palmieri, the Midway Gourmet, who runs Biggy’s. “It basically kept us alive.”
Now he’s back with all kinds of goodies, like burgers and pickles made with Flamin ‘Hot Cheetos. Chicken Charlie’s is back too, but without Charlie recovering from an operation. His right-hand man, manager Jerald Smith – he’s worked with Charlie Boghosian for over 25 years – has it all covered. He brings thunder with Buffalo Mac-N-Cheese Waffle Cones, lumpia and more.
Smith looks forward to seeing everyone and emphasizes that safety comes first. “Everything is in the open air. There are no gatherings anywhere and we are taking precautions to minimize risk factors, â€he said. For those who are hesitant, he advises doing whatever helps them feel comfortable. “Put on your gloves, whatever you have to do, just step out in the sun,†he said.
Perennial favorites like fried Oreos, giant turkey thighs, and rice bowls served in cored and halved pineapples will be back, but here’s a list of some of the notable new foods with the most irresistible ones marked with a. As always, we’ll also have a list of 5 Outrageous Deals in Another Story.
Hot Cheeto-N-Cheese Burger: Oddly enough, this junk food delight reminds us of French bistro steak fries with its juicy, beefy burger playing against crunchy and salty Cheetos mashed to coat the bread and tucked inside. Super satisfying and a favorite of the teenage workers in Palmieiri. “I have to tell them not to eat two or three a day,†he said.

Taco from Lengua: If you grew up in South Texas like me, this one is familiar to you. Soft pieces of beef tongue are cradled in tortillas and served with salsa verde or roja. Try it if you like street tacos.

Fried Hot Dog Bites: A cult favorite in Los Angeles since 1939, Pink’s Hot Dogs will have a stand at the fair and give a halfway twist to their main course. A dog is cut into bite-sized pieces and dipped in panko crumbs, fried, then topped with spicy mustard. It’s also made with a spicy dog ​​and we preferred this version, which isn’t too hot.
Find it: Pink’s hot dogs
Price: $ 10. A $ 3 version will be offered on Thursday’s Taste of Fair Food menu.
Cannoli Nachos: Taylor McKnight faced a challenge when trying to add cannoli to a fair menu. The delicate tubes of dough were constantly breaking. So he left with it. He takes these shards, pours melted butter and sprinkles them with cinnamon sugar then places them under a heat lamp. Once caramelized, it garnishes them with a delicate cheese cannoli filling, whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. This dreamy combination of soothing cream and crunchy, spicy crisps is not too sweet and might fit on an Italian restaurant menu. It is certainly the most sophisticated dessert of the fair, but the kids will love it too.
Find it: Pignotti’s Pasta, Country Meadows
Price: $ 16.95
Spring rolls: Fried and stuffed with mac and cheese or bacon and cheese, these bite-sized snacks might remind you of childhood pizza snacks.
Find it: Who fried the cheese ?, Plaza Pacifica
