The LA County Fair offers more than traditional fair food. Every year people return to this fair to see what new crazy and interesting things have been added to the menu. At this fair you will see things from chocolate covered bacon, fried frog legs, chicken and waffle on a stick, fried Oreos and Twinkies, Kryspy Kreme burger, chili cheese curly fries, bacon fried S’mores, Texas donuts, gourmet milkshakes in a jar, deep fired nachos, avocado and hot sauce to mention a few. I have never seen a place where you can find so many options and weird combinations of food that are out of the ordinary. This is one of the reasons why people visit the fair and what attracts food lovers to this place. You have to be open minded to indulge in the food found at this fair as you will be trying things you probably have not had or heard of in the past. In this post I would like to share my experience with the food and make some recommendations of the things I think are worth eating. Hope you enjoy!
With so many options to choose from you are sure to find one good thing at the fair. Not everything is great or tastes good in my opinion based on all the things I tried, which were many! I definitely exceeded the number of calories that should be consumed in a day and probably a week to be honest. I believe that is more of the curiosity of trying different and unique things that get you to eat these things rather than how good they taste. From all the things I tried I would say the thing I enjoyed the most was a deep fired battered corn dog. I highly recommend this. Another thing I do recommend is the gourmet milkshakes as they are amazing! These are served in a mason jar and can be customized to your preference such as ingredients like whipped cream, cherries, cookies and others. The churros and funnels cakes are always great to! The BBQ ribs and meats overall I think are pretty good and cannot go wrong with these. The ones I was not too impressed with were the deep fried avocados, hot sauce and I also heard that the fried Kryspy Kreme burger and Oreos and Twinkies were not as great from other people so I did not try these. To drink one of the best things I had here were the agua frescas. The cucumber lime with chia agua fresca was my favorite!
If you do not want to experiment with food, there are traditional options at the fair for you. You can find gourmet Mexican food, gourmet wood fire pizzas, traditional hamburgers and meats as well. This fair has something for everybody, which I liked! Hope you enjoyed this food post and give you a better idea of what you can find at the LA County Fair if you plan to visit next year.
Thank you for your support!
