Taste This is the best article I've found concerning North Carolina State Fair food. I was only disappointed that I didn't find this article before I went on the last day of the Fair.
Greg Cox is the local N&O's food critic.
"I don't care what new thing they've come up with to deep-fry at the State Fair this year. I won't be trying it. I lost interest in that annual fad the year a deep-fried Snickers bar darn near sent me into sugar shock.
I wouldn't have room for it anyway. My list of "must have" State Fair foods has grown so long over the years that I'm too full by the end of the day to try more than one or two new foods. It's admittedly a quirky list, but these foods define the experience for me just as much as corn dogs and funnel cakes do for others. Without them, it just wouldn't be the State Fair..."
