After eating fried cheese curds at the MN State Fair for years, the fried curds here do not live up. MN fair actually has an advantage over the ISF when it comes to variety/types of food. Except turkey legs. ISF has the leg up there. Ha.
Culver's cheese curds are good, no doubt about it. But some of the places up here have cheese curds that I would sacrifice small animals for.

so gooey inside.

How is that even possible? I'm not one of those "ISF is the best fair in the history of mankind" people but it'd be hard to imagine a wider variety of food options.
There are a lot more unique, local restaurants that offer food. Heck, they have a whole building for just food vendors. These were some of the new offerings last year. I grew up on the ISF, lived in MN for 7 years, and back to Iowa. We still long to get back just for the food. http://www.mnstatefair.org/fun/new_food/
The recent postings here are making me think my diet isn’t all that bad compared to some of the favorite artery death stuff that some of you seem to savor. Yikes! Forecasting some bypass chest cracking surgery for some of you!

I want both of these. Now. Don't care what time it is.
So we have a page on my company's site showing 15-20 units that we have in our warehouse to show what kind of units we have. There is a new startup company out of Miami. Using the exact same page on our website. Didn't bother changing the words/descriptions or order of pictures.
This owner of that company is shady as hell. I guess he sold us a crap unit and wouldn't pay us a large sum of money. We ended up getting his company shut down and he moves to Brazil.
He's back and barking up the wrong tree.

We have dealt with some very shady characters in import/export out of Miami. We once had a truck of ours captured by the FDA. 4 pallets of pot in the nose of a trailer load of bananas. Our contact? Busted trying to get on a plane.
Cybirdy is right. Mrs. Velo grew up going to the IS Fair every year so now we try (but don't always make it) to both fairs every year. They each have their plusses but the MN State Fair has a wider variety of food. Part of that could be that they can support more variety due to the higher attendance. The cheese curds at The Mouth Trap at the MSF are pretty darn good considering the incredible volume they serve. They are nothing like Culver's cheese curds which I like just fine. These are on a whole different level and still probably not as good as the ones CG is talking about.
The one place we absolutely cannot miss at the MSF when we go though is the Milk booth. $1 gets you all of the milk you care to drink - white or chocolate - and on a steamy day at the fair I can drink a hell of a lot of icy cold milk, especially when we have a bucket of cookies or some other snack with it.

ha, I have cheese curds far less often that I would wish. Culver's is about a once a month occurrence. I haven't had the bad boys in that picture since........early October. Though I had ones from another awesome place New Year's.
Every year we would say we were going to start with the $1 milk and cookies, but never did. Hubby's favorite were the shakes from the dairy building. The soft serve is so good, I would always have a strawberry sundae. 3 flavors of hard serve ice cream at the ISF just isn't quite the same.
I think ISF might be up to four(?). Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookie dough.
FWIW, I'm listening to the 90's music channel on DTV, and they played a Counting Crows song followed by Black Crowes "Hard to Handle".
swept and mopped the wood floor earlier...if I could find a way to monetize and revenue stream from sand and dog hair, I'd be paying for the yet to be announced 00clone family NEZ project.
Neither should I...
Jello salad ice cream? Only in Minnesota.
Story: My husband was friends with a girl from St. Cloud while at ISU. Of course, there's a different vocabulary up in Minnesota. He finds out from her that it isn't called a casserole in MN, but a hot dish. This leads my husband to ask "So what do you cook it in? A hot dish dish?" She actually didn't have an answer to that, but came back about a week later saying "My mom says it's a hot dish glass pan!"
Needless to say, we gifted them the casserole dishes she registered for when she got married a few years later.
