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…
Do, or do not. There is no try.
So, do get yourself here to the Fair. There’s a big crowd out here, but the more the merrier. You still have time to get out here and get tickets to Al Green and very special guests The Spinners tonight. While you are here this weekend, break out the light saber and head to the…

Fred Flintstone Would Love This
Just heard we’ve added Dino Ribs to the Fair Food menu. Of course, the minute I heard, I thought of that Bedrock carhop ploppin’ a slab of ginormous ribs on the side of the Flintstones car. Yabba dabba yummy! The L.A. County Fair Dino (pronounced Dy-no) Ribs are big, juicy beef ribs, with one rib being…
