Nothing signals those end-of-summer/intro-to-fall feelings for me quite like a trip to the LA county fair!Every year the fair opens up some country realness to a bunch of city folk with petting zoos, rodeos, and let us not forget THE FOOD!
While fair food may not be the healthiest choice
-trust me, I felt like I need to do a seven day prayer fast after-
there are a few things I'd recommend if you're ready to get your grub on!
And if you know anything about me, it's that I do, in fact, like to get my grub on!
Having people there to share the foodie adventures totally heightens my experience and luckily I had my sister and our friend Monique of Curves and Chaos there to enjoy it with! :D
So my sister Pearmama was a big fan of these bad boys, know as the chipotle "dirty" chips from Tasti Chips. They were pretty good, even though I'm not a big fan of bleu cheese. They were loaded with diced tomatoes, green onions, sweet shredded beef and bleu cheese then topped with a chipotle sauce.
The chips themselves were really crispy and fresh tasting.
Tasti Chips also offered jalapeño cheddar cheese chips which looked delicious!
I'm DEF gonna have to give those a try on my next trip.
Charlie's Chicken is an interesting plethora of fried sins.
From a deep fried oreo, deep fried twinkie, deep fried frog legs and deep fried bacon-wrapped pickles (which were DE-FREAKING-LICIOUS by the way) .
Didst I neglect to mention that they are also serving up a hamburger and sloppy joe between two Krispy-Kreme donuts????!!!!!!!!
"Oh LAWD!" shouted my arteries.
After all of that fried-ness, I was definitely happy to see a chicken and veggie kabob on the menu!!!
Ok, now onto my favorite things.....
*rubs hands together and chuckles villainously*
The bloomin' onion is like a golden-crunchy-sweet-savory drop of godly nectar!
Like for reals tho!
It comes with a really good dipping sauce that just totally made the 13 year old fat kid inside of me extremely happy!
Even tastier and scrumptious-er (?) was the BBQ braised brisket sundae.
I know what you're thinking. "ewwwww that's just gone too far!!"
Halt all ye naysayers!!!!......
This beauty has two scoops of mashed potatoes in place of ice cream, and delicious toppings of braised beef brisket, bbq sauce and a cherry tomato to top it off!
Omg. I'm not much of a meat eater but this was yummmmmmmmmmm!
The fair has tons of food options to offer, such as pizza made from a TEN pound loaf of bread and in case you are suddenly worried out you calorie count, Skinnygirl Cocktails are there to take a little guilt out of the gluttony!
One thing that I was a little too nervous to actually eat was this lil' guy..... It reminded me of Sebastien from The Little Mermaid.. and it smelled super fishy. So I just snapped some Instagram pics, made a Vine then sent my little friend on his way....
The L.A County fair is open now and runs until September 30, 2013. It's a perfect place for the family and a fun place to hang with friends!
