September is almost here and that means that the Los Angeles County Fair is coming. Travelling amusement park rides with my daughter. Shopping for gadgets with deals that beat theinfomercials. Cows, goats, chickens andpiggies. And the food.
A friend and I were invited to preview some of the food thatwill be available at the Fair this year. Chicken Charlie. Largepictures drew us in, of bacon wrapped Dodger dogs, a chicken sandwich made withcrispy crème donuts, and deep fried frogs legs. We split a Dodger dog that was battered andfried and placed in a bun. It was aperfect beginning to our Fair food experience. Later we tried their pineapple shrimp, which had extremely deliciousshrimp, salty rice, and pineapple chunks served in a hollowed out pineapplehalf. My favorite of the night. Their deep fried cookie dough balls servedwith chocolate syrup and powdered sugar, were very delicious.
Tasti Chips. Servesfreshly fried potato chips (gluten free) and onion rings. We loved the onion rings, which had theperfect amount of batter and were fried to perfection.
Harold & Belle’s to Geaux serves “Fine Creole Food”, andwe both devoured small bowls of their crawfish etouffee, with a large ratio ofcrawfish tails in a rich sauce served with rice. Delicious. They have a restraunt near the corner of Jefferson and Crenshaw, and Ilook forward to making a visit.
Pink’s. We were treated to the Daytona Dog. Ketchup, spicymustard, onions, jalapenos, and GUACAMOLE!. Their hot dogs are always good, and this guacamole dog is worth a try(the Pink’s chili cheese dog is still my favorite).
10-pound Buns. Alarge thick slice of their sourdough bread loaded with cheese and a choice oftoppings. This stand has been a favoriteof mine for several years now.
Big Kona Hula Shaved Ice. My friend had a banana, rootbeer and condensed milk shave ice. He said it was delicious, and it sure lookedgood.
We each had a low calorie beer (Michelob Ultra) from SkinnyGirl Bar and Food. Shared a BloomingOnion. Had funnel cakes and soft serveice cream.
The L.A. County Fair starts Friday 8/31/12. Go for the food!
