This Deep Fried Delight Has Illinoisans Lining Up at the Fair

Carnival rides, rigged fair games, and extremely overpriced food.  The three things we look forward to the most when fairs arrive in Illinois.  Am I wrong?

Nobody ever goes to the fair and expects to just hangout.  We all have a reason for going, whether it's to people watch, stuff our faces with funnel cakes, or vomit after one-too-many rides.

Back up a second.... a funnel cake does sound really delicious.  You know what else sounds good?  More deep fried desserts straight from the fair.

Here's what I crave whenever the fair comes to town:

• Deep Fried Oreos
• Filled Churros
• Giant Turkey Legs
• Deep Fried Pickles
• A Large, Fresh-Squeezed Lemonade

Are your taste buds screaming right now?  They sure are.

Now you're probably wondering... what do Illinois  residents crave the most when they get hangry at a festival?  It's my favorite deep fried food on the planet.

It's deep fried, dipped in batter, and on a stick.  Have a guess?

A deep fried corn dog.  My goodness, I could go for a big ol' corn dog right about now.  I'm just dreaming about the crunch, the tanginess of the ketchup, and how gigantic these corn dogs are.

Next time you're at a festival in town, make sure to grab yourself a corn dog and take a picture with it.  Did you really enjoy a fair dog without taking a photo with it?  Ain't no shame in my corn dog game - it's a moment to remember, always.
