Gentle Readers, the people have spoken. Okay, a few people have spoken, and other people double-dog dared. Today’s dinner adventure at the N.C. State Fair was . . . Deep-Fried Oreos, Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger, and Corn, in that order.
Deep Fried Oreos!
We got them here (on recommendation). Demand them Hot Now, they are infinitely better!
TPC's Deep-Fried Oreo Stand of Choice!
But the true legend has to be the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger. I admit, I wasn’t up for the challenge yesterday, but hoping for deep-fried culinary diplomatic immunity, I went for it.
Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger: I can't believe I ate that.
This rendition was pretty simple, no toppings at all. I tried it plain, and with ketchup and mustard. All in all, the doughnuts were fresh and tasty, and somewhat overwhelmed the burger. I think it would be better with sausage and cheese, a sort of breakfast hybrid. The problem is the aftermath: sugar crash. I am still somewhat hungry, but with that mildly achy post-Lucky Charms thing going on. Probably wouldn’t eat it again under non-dare circumstances. Would rather just eat a Krispy Kreme right off the conveyor belt.

Without further delay, let’s watch the eating of the fried on video, as promised:

The Practical Cook 
Hey, it’s Alyssa from WPTF News – we met at the media luncheon last week. I’m going to be doing a food video for my (lame) blog at the fair tomorrow afternoon. Are you going to be around? We should meet up! I’d be glad to help you on your mission of tasting everything 🙂
Hi Alyssa! Would love to catch up–I’m going in the morning, plan to depart early afternoon. Would love to catch up, what time are you planning to be there? (And how do you feel about fried cheese. :))
DM me on Twitter tomorrow when you arrive! @practicalcook
Sounds like a plan – and I love fried cheese!
