State Fair Food 2018 Part: 2

Heidi and I discussed it and the last stop of the day would be the Doughnut Burger. A bacon cheeseburger between what looked like two Krispy Kremes. My sweetheart wife agreed to get the lettuce, pickle and tomato on the side because I am mostly a plain burger kind of guy. We enjoyed the sweetness of the doughnuts with the bacon and cheese. It was $9.00, but we wanted to try it once so we didn’t mind the price. The only other possible drawback for me would be that it was messy with the glaze covering my fingers and there was no place to sit.

All the food we tried was high in calories and high in satisfaction. Also, if you made it to the end of my “Walt’s Diner” blog debut, I’ll let you know that my beautiful daughter Sophie Kreis won the State 4-H Fashion Revue Dress Up Wear modeling category for the second year in a row! The outfit that she not only modeled, but made.

I may buy it or I may make it myself, but I am for sure going to eat it!…Walt Wintin

State Fair Food 2018 Part: 1

The family attended the Indiana State Fair in support of our daughter, Sophie, that was modeling the outfit she made in the 4-H Fashion Revue. No one had eaten breakfast so we headed straight to the Indiana Dairy Farmers building for a grilled cheese. But this isn’t your Momma’s grilled cheese. The bread of the “Inside Out” grilled cheese sandwich looks like French bread, cheddar cheese encrusted on the outside and Swiss cheese in the middle. Simply genius! $3.50. And rounding out the  breakfast of champions, who doesn’t like a thick vanilla milkshake in a Holstein cow cup? $3.50.

After the Fashion Revue a large ear of roasted sweet corn on a stick caught my eye. $4.00 The folks at Wilson’s Roasted Sweet Corn peel back the husk, wrap the stick with foil and a napkin and dip the entire ear into a can of melted butter and hand it to you. As it is dripping butter, you then take it to a table and add any combination of sea salt, seasoned salt and parmasean cheese. My hands were full and I went simple with just the salt. Heidi, Rae, and Sophie all tried it and it was unanimous. We will go there again.
