This Saturday will be my first ever Kentucky Derby Party so I have been doing a little research. I realize that this makes me somewhat of a “nerd” to most, but I’d like to think of it as necessary preparation… it’s not every day that I get to wear a dress and hat, so I…
The entire L.A. County Fair family would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to “Chicken” Charlie Boghosian and Dawn Clasen – who are getting married tomorrow, April 25. Chicken Charlie is the Deep-Fry King at fairs throughout the region. He is the one who comes up with the deep-fried Oreos, deep-fried Twinkies, deep-fried frog legs…
I love food – I can’t help it! When I’m eating I think about how delicious it is and when I am not eating I am planning my next meal. I have to say that working on this year’s L.A. County Fair is not helping much. All of this food talk just makes me hungrier.…
All right all you competitive souls of all ages – time to break out the recipes, sharpen those knitting needles and get your crayons and water paints ready. It’s contest time at the L.A. County Fair! There are blue ribbons to be won (and in some cases, cash!) That’s right – we are putting the…
The SPAM bit from Monty Python has always been a favorite of mine (I love you Terry Jones!) and helped make the gelatinous canned-meat delight a household name to another generation. Well, we at the LA County Fair would like to think we are introducing the rectangular good-right-out-of-the-can specialty to yet another generation. That’s right –…
OK, L.A. County Fair fans, just 10 days. It’s almost here. And as you are planning your day at the Fair, for those of you 21 and older, why not add in a wine education class at the Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Marketplace? There are also spirits and extra virgin olive oil classes.…
If you’ve been to the L.A. County Fair, you know him. Maybe not by sight or by his full name, but definitely from his amazing, deep fried concoctions. Deep-fried Oreos. Deep-fried avocados . Delectable Krispy Kreme chicken sandwiches with Swiss cheese drizzled in honey. He’s Charlie Boghosian, or Chicken Charlie as he is more commonly…
Yes, that’s what I said. Eighty days until the L.A. County Fair. 80. Eight-zero. Ate-eeeee! My list of what I’m looking forward to continues: Hot Dog on a Stick (of course, had to put that first!) Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum (cool Hot Rods) Ice-cold chocolate milk at FairView Farms Chamois sold in the Shopping…
A global panel of judges just finished selecting the best wines from around the world at the Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition, held here at Fairplex. The event has been part of the Fair for 69 years, presenting gold, silver and bronze awards to the best the wine world has to offer. And…
One of the things my family and friends always ask me before the Fair gets here is what unusual food will you guys have this year? Guests have said in a survey that food is the number one reason for coming to the Fair. Gooey food, frozen food, food on a stick, ginormous food, food…
