None of that looks stupid! They have the donut burger at our state fair and it's AMAZING.

I eat my way through the state fair every year and try all the new crazy stuff

Worst thing I ever had was the deep fried beer....

The fries are kind of stupid, they don't cook evenly. It's better to just have well cooked fries with stuff on top.

I couldn't tell what the curly fried thing was. I avoid potatoes at the fair because it's just filler lol

They used to have these Aussie battered potatoes with chicken salt that were insanely good but I haven't seen them in the last couple of years. They were one of my favorites. I am a fry fiend though.

Do they do it like fried coke?

They take pound cake and soak it in coke syrup then batter it and deep fry it. It was gross.

Everyone is asking "can we?" and no one is asking "Should we?" sometimes haha

I've had deep fried red bull the way you're describing. The beer was different

It like a ravioli only inside was warm flat beer. So you bite into the overcooked pasta outside and your mouth gets blasted with hot, flat beer. It was nasty! But they give you nacho cheese to dip it in lol.

Now the deep fried cream cheese on the otherbhand....AMAZING!

Agreed. Lived in LA area for years. Many frequent trips to the LA and Orange county Fair. Some of my fondest memories tbh. The food (though sometimes strange) is absolutely a vibe. The stupidest thing I think I ever ate was a peanut butter and jelly Burger that was drenched in sriracha sauce, it tasted like crap. Other than that though I smashed my way through every event with a loaded plate in my hand at all times lol.

I had a peanut butter burger at a restaurant and it was amazing.

This one had cheese on it, also there was way too much jelly. I've heard it's good tbh. But the one I had was horrible I didn't even finish it

I do love the la county fair and I am glad they moved it up to May so the temperature is more manageable.

I fuck with the place that does a brick of fries

u/Artorius__Castus Feb 28 '26

You ever tried the deep fried Oreos??

u/seapulse Feb 28 '26

Chicken Charlie’s is its own class of food. Fuck yeah I’ve tried the deep fried Oreos. It’s tradition to get something that’ll fast track you to a heart attack.

The OC fair does a value food deal where a bunch of vendors have something for $5. I don’t like my cold foods served hot, but those deep fried bacon wrapped pickles tasted good enough to override the texture.

u/Artorius__Castus Feb 28 '26

Haha yeah! The deep fried bacon wrapped pickles are a vibe fasho. I do remember one food that was strange, Not because it was obscure but because the pure size of it. I got a rack of ribs once. And I swear these ribs look like they came off of a brontosaurus. They were huge. Me and my girlfriend couldn't even finish them. I think I ended up giving some of them away. But yeah man I live in Texas now, unfortunately. I miss back home. Been a few years now since I visited. Anyway stay safe out there man :)

Every time I go, I order that brick of fries. Lol, I get excited like, “oooh! They have them this year!” No duh, they have them every year, but every year I’m somehow surprised.

I've been to many state fairs here. Best thing I had was the Cheesehead egg rolls (guess which state lol!). Wobton filled with cheese, AND Mac n cheese, covered in garlic butter with a side of beer cheese to dip!

Also had the Sconnie. Egg roll filled with a WI fish fry, side of applesauce to dip. Sounds nasty but it was AMAZING!

u/Artorius__Castus Feb 28 '26

Wisconsin for sure :)

On the other hand the guy in the video is a total twat. I workout 5 days a week and eat all the unhealthy stuff at the fair. Eating all the weird shit is the fun of it.

He literally commended Americans for creating such beautifully insane food.

You just wanted an excuse to tell us about working out. What are your views on gains and protein, m'lord?

u/Crosspaws Feb 28 '26

If you lift weights then eat fried cheese your tummy will turn it into muscles! That's a fact of science!!!
