LA County Fair Part 2

Did I say that there is always next year? I should have said next weekend.

My buddy Chris, my home girl Maria, and I went back to the fair. Actually, this was Chistopher's first time ever going to the fair. We went to walk around, see the sights, and most importantly, eat!

For the first round, we started out with sausages, different kinds of fries, and pasta. I got another one of the pomegranate Italian sodas from Eddie's Cucina Italiana, which is located normally in Rancho Cucamonga.

After that, we decided to take in a pirate show. We also did a lot of kiddy things, like spinning wheels to get our pirate names. Want to know what our names were? Well I'm gonna tell you anyway. I was Stub Lips Jack, Chris was Big Wreck Bart, and Maria was Blind Wreck Sam (they were related). Here's Maria and Chris acting corny:

Get it?

Then we moved on to some fried delicacies. You know I went straight for the fried Kool-Aid.

When I saw the sign, I also saw that they had a fried Klondike bar.

I didn't even hesitate...I ordered both! I made sure to tell the girl who took my order that everything had to be freshly made, I didn't want soggy fried Kool-Aid. The Kool-Aid was everything I had hoped it would be! Like little donut holes, and it kind of reminds me of apple cider donuts. But instead of being made with apple cider it is made with Kool-Aid, and instead of being sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, it is sprinkled with sugar and cherry Kool-Aid powder, which gives each bite a nice little burst of flavor.

We devoured that, just in time for the fried Klondike bar to come out of the fryer. Ok, this was good, but it was an insane amount of batter around it.

Almost too much. I wanted more of the ice cream in it, but I think all of the surrounding dough sopped it up. Chris also had a fried twinkie during this time, and this particular stand made them smaller, and he was a wee bit disappointed with it overall, but he did eat the whole thing. After he tried the Klondike, he said we didn't even need a funnel cake after that...

We continued our stroll, and we happened to stumble upon chocolate covered bacon!

I don't know why I imagined this to be hot, but they actually had it in the fridge. I took a bite, and at first thought it was really good, cause all I tasted was chocolate. Then when that wore off it was just bacon. And because it was refrigerated it had the texture of beef jerky. Maria hated it, and spit out her first and only bite. I thought it was ok, and Chris loved it!

After we gorged on all of that, what did I happen to see? Another cheesesteak stand!

This one was a lot different than the last. It was filled with meat, and huge chunks of peppers and onions.

Come on, cut that up a little bit!

The meat was in in really big chunks too.

They slopped the cheese wiz right on top. This of course bothers me, because it needs to be mixed in with everything. It also makes it more messy this way I think. The cheese didn't taste like normal wiz...it seemed like spicy nacho cheese that could only belong on nachos. The meat was seasoned...it didn't need any salt or pepper...but it was a bit odd to me. There was some kind of odd seasoning, and I couldn't really tell what it was...maybe taco seasoning? At least there was more meat than bread. I thought it wasn't that great, Chris thought it was ok, and Maria actually liked it! I wouldn't recommend this steak either.

This stand also had monster pretzels, and we saw this tiny girl with this crazy big pretzel:

I actually really wish we got one of these...next year for sure!

We walked around some more, shopped at some tents, and what did I see? A THIRD cheesesteak stand!

Now, I love you readers...but at this point, I just couldn't do it. I will save this for next year if it happens to be there. I had too much fried goodies in my belly, and I knew that there was a funnel cake in our future......THIS funnel cake:

Do I even need to tell you how awesome this was? We ate every last bite!

We strolled some more, and Christopher won me a giant stuffed husky:

On our way out of the fair, we decided to give it away to a cute little boy. His whole face lit up, he was so happy and excited.

I love the fair. Maria and I always have a blast when we go, and Christopher really enjoyed it too.

There are just too many exciting foods to try, and you can never get through all of them. So what is at the top of my list for next time? FRIED WATERMELON!!
