One of the traditions of the Fair is the Culinary contests and competitions – we still give out blue ribbons for Grandma’s apple pie. What’s fun is watching contestants compete against each other at the on-site competitions – especially when the contestants happen to be married to each other. That was the scenario today at the…
We have a ton of great classes at the Wine & Spirits Marketplace, so be sure to check out the class schedule before you head to the Fair (or check the Fun Guide if you are here). Today we have vodka tasting all day! Now that will make the carnival rides spin a little faster…
I guess I should clarify that. It’s dog water bowls – ones you can strap to your belt or pant-waist. These are some of the unusual products/foods you can get at the Fair. Water Rover is a plastic bottle with an attached bowl for your dog to drink from when on walks. It clips to…
Had my first bite of Tasty Chips, those delicious hand-cut, homemade potato chips. With just the right amount of salt – ah, heaven! Thin slices of potatoes, fried to a perfect crispness (not too crisp). Served with dipping sauces – cheese, ketchup, ranch. On the side – seasoned salt, lemon juice and hot sauce. Way…

The Fair’s wine education program, run in conjunction with the Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition, is extremely popular – and worth the effort to get to…
To understand the ideas of Charlie Boghosian, you must first understand the man, his philosphy and his dreams. You probably know him as Chicken Charlie, the affable mastermind behind the deep-fried goodies you treat yourself to at the L.A. County Fair. You gotta love his way of living and creating. It isn’t anything complicated, there…
I am not kidding you! There are only 75 days left until opening day of the 2009 L.A. County Fair! What happened to spring? It was just here. This past Sunday was the official start of summer, and you know what that means here on the grounds of Fairplex. It’s go time! So, in honor…
And white, and rose, and bubbly! Yes, the air above Fairplex will be fragrant with every varietal of wine come next week.
