We walked you through the gnarly process of eating a Krispy Kreme double-cheeseburger. We expounded on the joys of Fair food. We even gave a shout-out to the Ramen Burger craze. But even our jaws dropped when we heard about this one. We, the L.A. County Fair bloggers with a craving for Chicken Charlie’s latest…
So long, farewell… until next year!
They say that the older you get, the faster the time flies. That seems to be the truth since the 91st L.A. County Fair is already over! We are so glad you were able to join us for a month of deep-fried food, shopping galore, animals both exotic and farm-based and an endless array of…
Fair Food Friday: Eating Competition
Yesterday we mentioned our Fair Food Frenzy, which happened this afternoon! 16 participants competed to see who could chow down a 1 1/2 pound Krispy Kreme cheeseburger the fastest (the equivalent of a sugar-loaded 4×4 from In n’ Out). We had a wide variety of contestants but all of them had one thing in common:…
Do Fair employees actually eat Fair food?
Fair employees are at the Fair every day. They walk by the deep-fried goodies at Chicken Charlies, smell the smoke emanating from turkey legs and are exposed to Dip n’ Dots, Pink’s Hot Dogs, 10-pound buns, kettle corn, cotton candy and corn dogs on a daily basis. You may think you’re indulging when you spend…

County Fair, challenge you to the Fair Food Frenzy competition to see who can eat a…

Fair Food Friday Giveaway
Last year we gave out a few fun facts about the history of funnel cake. Like most traditions, this Fair food staple has evolved and grown bigger over the years. What used to be a simple deep-fried treat with powered sugar sprinkled on top has turned into a decadent sugar-infested bonanza. Last night I tried…
Spaghetti Ice Cream (+ giveaway)
New to the Fair (and the United States!) is spaghetti ice cream. Already a favorite in Europe, this sweet (or savory?) treat has been a huge hit in the States this year. We stopped by the Cardinali’s booth in Expo Hall 7 to check it out for ourselves. We watched as they made the “noodles,”…
Demi Lovato rocks out at the L.A. County Fair!
Our End of Summer Concert Series is known for having a diverse lineup. From country to classic rock, there’s usually something for everyone. This year we had the pleasure of welcoming pop star Demi Lovato to the Fairgrounds for an evening performance worth remembering. Her powerhouse vocals had fans screaming (yes, literally screaming) in adoration.…
Food News: Ramen Burgers. It's really a thing.
Ramen Burger from Facebook We here at the L.A. County Fair are rarely surprised when it comes to food novelties. We are, after all, home to items like the Krispy Kreme hamburger and sloppy joes (courtesy of Chicken Charlie), the Blooming Onion and foot-long corn dogs. But even we blinked twice when we heard about…
