Deep Fried Everything On a Stick

Deep Fried Everything at the Alameda County Fair 2013

Over the holiday weekend, I headed to Pleasanton, California to spend the afternoon at one of my favorite places to visit in the world, the Alameda County Fair. As is my tradition, I immediately hit up the various food vendors to see what’s new in fair fare. This year, I came across a lot of “deep fried on-a-stick” food items.

Here’s fried Donut Dogs, Bacon, Doritos, and “Choogs” (We’re not sure what a “choog” is exactly):

And then there were fried peanut butter sandwiches, cheeseburgers, and pickles:

Another vendor had fried strawberry Pop-Tarts (on a stick, naturally), along with fried Twinkies, cookie dough, cheesecake, brownies and Nutella:

Fried Snickers, fried Oreos:

A sign advertising the fried menu offerings also shows they have fried Captain Crunch (sic) and fried peanut butter cups:

And finally, and what “wins” for originality in my book, is the “Chicken Fried Steak on a Stick:”
