'Crispy Crème Donut Burger' (Really?) Among Deep Fried Creations Coming To the Fair

The Alameda County Fair runs June 19 to July 7, 2013.

Information from the Alameda County Fair--

What is a Fair without delicious food you can only find at this year’s Alameda County Fair? Deep fried Pop Tarts anyone?

The list of edible creations and sensations always hold the promise of the most unique culinary experiences, anywhere!

How about deep fried: fruity pebbles, pineapple upside down cake, oatmeal crème pies, sweetwatermelon, cookie dough and red velvet cake? Or do you crave anything on a stick?

Try pudding, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and jelly or Doritos, all on a stick. Indulge in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches like the Dagwood with gouda cheese, turkey, cranberry and Dijon mustard.

Do you have a sweet tooth? Consider the Crispy crème donut burger or a hot dog sundae. If your palate calls for more health-conscious consumptions, you won’t be disappointed. Healthy food selections include fresh salads, fish tacos, shrimp cocktail, fish ceviche, grilled veggies, gelato and fresh fruit. 

Of course, one can’t leave a visit to the Fair without indulging in the annual and traditional favorites: corn dogs, funnel cake, corn-on-the-cob, hot dogs, cotton candy, shaved ice, smoky BBQ, grilled sausages, burgers and cold ice cream. The lengthy list of Fair food is beyond comprehension.

This year’s 101st celebration runs June 19 to July 7, 2013, closed on Mondays, featuring $1 admission and $1 rides on opening day!

“Summer Fun Starts Here,” kicks off the slate of numerous popular traditions, among them: exhibits, animals, horse racing, and Big O Tires FREE Concert Series nightly along with special event days.
