Fair food: Cheese sizzle and fried green tomatoes

I’ve been eying the cheese sizzle for days, and since I’ve heard of the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes” but had never had the actual food, I was eager to try those as well.

So I got both wrapped up to go after the PRCA rodeo wrapped up Wednesday night at the fair.

A number of people have recommended the cheese sizzled, with the lady at the booth described as “genuine Wisconsin cheese, deep fried on a stick.” One cheese sizzle fan is “Brittany the Intern” from K96, who shared a fair booth with me for several days.

The cheese sizzle was awesome. Hot and cheesy, need I say more? I might have to go back for another of those.

After the cheese sizzle, I tackled my fried green tomatoes, and, well, let’s just call the fried green tomatoes a victim of circumstance.

I would say the exact moment I bit into my second fried green tomato was the point at which I hit the breaking point with how much fried food I can pack into one week.

Honestly, the fried green tomatoes tasted great — actually a lot fresher than a lot of the other fried items. Unfortunately, after about the first one, I was struggling to choke them down. I’ve definitely hit my fried food ceiling.

So tell me what I should eat today! Is there anything at the fair that isn’t fried? Leave me a comment about what food I should try!
