This was a terrific Food on a Stick find, Double Dipped Turtle Cheesecake. The folks at Murphy’s come up with some terrific sweets, this one being high on John’s list for the entire Summer. A generous slice of turtle cheesecake is dipped in chocolate and kept in the chilled bakery case. When you order, it…
Food on a Stick #34 Deep Fried Snickers on a Stick with John
After about a month of non-stop State Fair Food on a Stick, it was getting pretty hard for me to convince John he needed to eat Just.One.More Food on a Stick. One hot afternoon he agreed to take a break from sculpting and eat a Deep Fried Snickers on a Stick. A frozen Snickers bar…
Food on a Stick #33, Butterscotch Dipped Banana with Nuts
It was possible to do a study in dipped bananas during the 52 Foods on a Stick journey. Earlier there were chocolate dipped, cherry dipped and now butterscotch dipped. I would have expected to find the butterscotch dipped banana at the same place as the cherry, but there were from two different vendors. The vendor…
Food on a Stick #32, Caramel Marshmallows on a Stick with Mark
Another tasty treat from the folks at The Sweet Shoppe, caramel covered marshmallows on a stick. Just a few days prior to seeing these at the fair, John and I were at a Wal-Mart in Kentucky. We don’t usually shop at Wal-Mart but had heard that their stores in Kentucky were carrying gluten-free Bisquick. I…
Food on a Stick #31, Corndog with Mark
When I think of Food on a Stick, a Corndog* is the image that immediately comes to mind. It’s the food I used to announce the 52 Foods on a Stick journey, on none other than National Corndog Day It’s also the first Food on a Stick I chose to make gluten-free, it was the…
Food on a Stick #30, Crazy Apple with Mark & John
Sometimes Fair Food is completely over-the-top, throwing away all concern for how something tastes and instead focusing on either how much it weighs or how unlikely the combination of foods sounds (see Donut Burger). The Crazy Apple is the first of these, a caramel apple of sorts that easily weighed five pounds. Even though the…
Food on a Stick #29, Turtle Legs with Megs and Mac
I tend to think of fairs and festivals as the best place to find Food on a Stick, but several times during this journey I spotted FoaS in unexpected places. The Turtle Legs came from one such place. While working at an automotive festival in Denver, we ventured out to have dinner at one of…
Donut King’s Shiny New Location
One of my favorite donut shops, Donut King, has recently relocated. I went to visit the new location and thought I’d tell you all about it. During my 52 Donuts journey, I visited the original Donut King at the urging of my friend Sheila. It was the donut shop of her childhood. It was such…
Sweet of the Week #20i, Chai spice Sugar Cookies
I love a good sugar cookie. When Christina suggested adding Chai to cookies, I wasn’t sure how it would work out. I occasionally drink Masala Chai (the spiced tea most people refer to simply as Chai) and couldn’t wrap my head around how the spice blend would work in a cookie. It worked very well,…
Food on a Stick #27 and #28, Chocolate Covered Strawberry and Cherry Covered Banana on a Stick
While working at the Kentucky State Fair, I met Melissa and her mom. They were also working at the State Fair. Over the course of 12 days, we chatted several times about Food on a Stick and a few times Melissa and her mom dropped by our sculpture installation to show me their latest finds….
