OC Fair Food!
07.12.16
OC Fair foods never disappoint for those craving deep-fried and break your diet combos. This year’s "Get Your Fair Face On!" fair theme is offering new items featuring bacon, Nutella, waffles, spicy sauces and fruity concoctions. And for a taste of the fair, every Thursday from noon to 4 p.m. you can pay $2 for a taste.
Some of the new menu items include:
Chicken in a Waffle On a Stick: Chicken Charlie's making the popular chicken-and-waffles combo portable by cooking fried chicken tenders in a waffle and serving it all on a stick, with a side of maple syrup.
French Toast Bacon Bombs: Bacon A-Fair's new breakfast-inspired offering will make French toast desirable any time of the day as sweet dough stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon is deep-fried and rolled in cinnamon sugar.
S'moreo Texas Donut: Bigger is better when it's a soft, Texas-sized doughnut topped with chocolate drizzle, Oreo cookie crumble, graham cracker crumbs and marshmallow cream.
Bacon Nutella Pickle: Pickle O' Pete's takes the popular hazelnut cocoa spread Nutella and fills a dill pickle that gets wrapped in bacon, dipped in a funnel cake batter and deep fried.
Pork Belly Bacon Dog: At Biggy's, two feet of bacon are wrapped around a slow-smoked pork belly that is dipped into a corn dog batter and deep fried.
Deep-Fried Pizza Log: Mozzarella cheese and pepperoni are wrapped inside of thin pizza dough which is deep fried until crispy and flaky. Served with marinara sauce on the side from the Apple Fries booth.
Diabilito Sundae: Fruit Caboose is going loco and adding to their creamy ice cream the Latin-inspired flavor of tangy Tamarindo and hot chili chamoy sauce.
Kool-Aid Hot Wings: Chicken Charlie's taking his breaded wings and tossing them up with his new, slightly-spicy Kool-Aid sauce. He will serve the orange flavor exclusively at the OC Fair.
Dole Whip: Fairgoers can cool down with this refreshing, pineapple-flavored soft serve dessert available for the first time inside the OC Fair at Crutchee's Ice Cream.
Bacon-Wrapped Baked Potato: At Bacon A-Fair, a giant one-pound potato is wrapped in a half pound of bacon and slow cooked in a wood-fired smoker oven. Served with butter, the Bacon A-Fair signature bacon-infused sour cream, grilled veggies, blue cheese and choice of hot buffalo sauce or nacho cheese and jalapenos.
Bacon Cheddar Brat Burger: Grant's Tasti Burger is taking burgers and brats to the next level with this massive burger that combines a bratwurst and an Angus beef patty with cheddar, chopped candied pecans, Applewood smoked bacon, Sriracha Bourbon and chipotle sauces, lettuce and tomatoes and served inside a pretzel bun.
Pink's Hollywood-Inspired Dogs: The Daenerys Mother of Doggies pays homage to the Game of Thrones' queen of the dragons with a spicy Polish dog topped with sour cream, sauerkraut, onions, radish sprouts and Sriracha sauce. The Lord of the Rings Dog highlights the mystical movie with an all-beef hot dog encircled by fried onion rings and topped with barbecue sauce.
Juicys: New this year, OC Fair mainstay Juicys is serving up organic meat and nitrate-free hot dogs and sausages.
More Offerings: All American Reuben Burger (Grant's Tasti Burger), Pickle Fries and Pickled Cheese on a Stick (Pickle O' Pete's), Shrimp Fried Rice on a Stick (Chicken Charlie's), Som-Mor-Bacon (Fruit Caboose), Bison Burger (Juicy's), Lasagna Sandwich (Pignotti's Pasta), Oreo Churro (Dutchmen's Funnel Cake).
