The Majesty of the LA County Fair
There are many reason to go to the LA County Fair. I present you with one of the best:
No, this photo has not been digitally altered. The food stand really was selling:
- Totally Fried Frog Legs
- Totally Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches
- Deep Fried Veggies
- Totally Friend Smores
- Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich
- Deep Fried Avocados
- Deep Fried Coke
- Deep Fried Twinkies
If that’s not majesty, I don’t know what is. And for the curious, Stephanie and I did, in fact, imbibe in all that the fair had to offer. (There was another stand selling — wait for it — Deep Friend Snickers.)

How were the fried frog legs?
I’m waiting to see if they market Escargots Frittes.
Then I’ll laugh.

Huh. What a coincidence. You went to the LA County Fair, and I had over $1000 in bogus charges on my credit card from the LA County Fair.

Well, fried dough ain’t cheap.
Seriously, though, that sucks. Did the bank clear things up for you?

The fair is a power of suggestion food trap for pregnant women. Everything I passed by, I suddenly craved with ferocious intensity. When I went, I actually tried the deep fried oreos, had my first Pink’s chili dog in years, and a giant plate of curly fries that probably reached a 1/2 foot in height.
I would like to know: how do they deep fry Coke?

The bank has asked that I try to clear it with the merchant first, and the LA County Fair people are proving to be terribly unhurried about chasing down what is likely a case of fraud.

Bill Maher actually was talking about the deep fried Coke that was served at the LA County Fair (perhaps he reads Corey’s blog ;-). He described how they do deep fry Coke as part of his rant on Friday night.

Are the two “friend” foods your typo, or that of the merchants? I ask because “totally friend smores” sounds like the ultimate Hello Kitty food, while “deep friend snickers” sounds, well, dirty, but in a kind of awesome way.
I mean, I don’t know what a “deep friend snickers” is, but you can buy it. And it probably involves chocolate and nougat. How could that not be awesome?

No, that’s me, not really knowing how to type. I shouldn’t be allowed near these new-fangled keyboard things.
But yes, a deep friend snickers would in fact be awesome.
