From warm buckets of cookies in Minnesota
[2]
to cheesecake on a stick in Florida,
[5]
here are 13 food markets and fairs
[7]
that you have to visit in your lifetime.
[13]
The State Fair of Texas is
home to the original corn dog,
[16]
the beloved meat on a stick
[18]
that Americans can't get enough of.
[20]
Fletcher's Corny Dogs
[21]
debuted the very first corn dog in 1938.
[23]
Back then, they were giving
away their Corny Dogs for free
[26]
just to get people to
try the unheard-of food.
[29]
Now Fletcher's is selling
[30]
between 500,000 and 600,000 dogs a year.
[34]
There are more food vendors here
[35]
than almost any other fair,
[37]
so you can expect that all
the classics will be covered,
[40]
like old-school saltwater
taffy at Sutter's Taffy,
[43]
funnel cakes that even
double as burger buns,
[45]
and fried everything.
[48]
The Arizona State Fair is the
state's largest public event,
[51]
and it's been dishing out
classic fair foods since 1905.
[55]
While some of the options
may sound familiar,
[57]
the sheer size of these foods is shocking.
[60]
Fair foodies will be familiar
[62]
with a good old-fashioned corn dog,
[64]
but in Arizona, they
make them by the foot.
[66]
And the cinnamon buns
aren't shy on size either --
[69]
or toppings.
[70]
Aside from its giant food options,
[72]
it's the hot and spicy foods
[73]
that really make the Arizona
State Fair stand out.
[76]
Hot Cheeto-covered foods like turkey legs
[78]
and even pickles are an Arizona delicacy.
[81]
And all of them are layered
with nacho cheese, of course.
[84]
People have been flocking to
the LA County Fair since 1922.
[88]
In recent years, they
featured 500 food vendors
[91]
during a single fair.
[92]
They've got classics
like giant turkey legs,
[94]
rainbow popcorn, and fried Oreos,
[97]
but also some things
[98]
you'd have a hard time
finding anywhere else.
[100]
Fans of the fair love to
post about these giant cones
[103]
of extra-long curly fries from Biggy's.
[105]
They start by spiralizing
a lot of potatoes,
[108]
then deep-fry them so
they're golden and crunchy.
[111]
For another Instagrammable food,
[114]
you can walk over to Nitro Treats
[115]
to try their Unicorn's Breath.
[117]
It's cereal balls dipped
in liquid nitrogen,
[120]
which makes smoke come
out of your mouth and nose
[122]
when you take a bite.
[124]
And you may have heard
of chicken and waffles,
[125]
but at the LA County Fair,
[127]
Chicken Charlie's takes chicken tenders,
[129]
puts them on a stick, covers
them in waffle batter,
[132]
then voil脿!
[133]
Chicken and waffles on a stick.
[135]
Pro tip: Ripping them in half
[136]
will make it a little easier to eat.
[140]
Brunch lovers flock to
London's dedicated Brunch Fest
[143]
to celebrate all things eggs and pastry.
[146]
Guests will find sweet
and savory brunch foods
[148]
like waffles, pancakes,
and breakfast tacos.
[152]
All of these delicious breakfast favorites
[154]
are topped with syrups,
jams, and hot sauces galore.
[157]
There are even plenty of vegan options,
[159]
so there's something for everyone.
[161]
London's best brunch spots
[162]
come out to highlight
their most-loved menu items
[164]
and, of course, their booziest drinks.
[167]
A trip to the Bloody Mary bar, anyone?
[169]
Or maybe you'll have an espresso martini.
[172]
The Minnesota State Fair
has been an institution
[174]
in the Land of 10,000
Lakes for over 160 years.
[178]
More than 2 million
guests gather every year
[180]
for treats like the infamous
Sweet Martha's cookies.
[183]
It's not unusual to see fairgoers
[185]
walking around with buckets piled high
[187]
with gooey chocolate chip cookies.
[188]
Sweet Martha's sells 1 million
cookies per day on average.
[192]
You might also catch a glimpse
[193]
of equally massive
buckets of french fries.
[196]
Fresh French Fries goes through
[197]
roughly 30,000 pounds of fries per day,
[200]
and they claim to be the freshest ever
[202]
because they make them to order.
[203]
And if you see buckets of pickles,
[205]
it's not what you might think.
[206]
These pickles have become
[208]
what's known at the Minnesota State Fair
[210]
as pickle dogs.
[211]
That's a pickle smeared with cream cheese
[213]
wrapped in pastrami.
[214]
You can only find this wacky snack
[216]
at the Minnesota State Fair.
[219]
The Queens Night Market
[220]
is famous for its global
selection of foods
[223]
that represent over 20
different countries.
[225]
It's a major cultural event
that has attracted vendors
[228]
like The Malaysian Project,
[229]
where burgers are wrapped in omelets.
[231]
This signature Malaysian dish
[233]
can be found all over its home country,
[235]
but in Queens, New York,
[236]
this stand is the only place making it.
[238]
The key is the homemade spicy mayo.
[240]
Catmint Wheel Cake is another food stand
[242]
showcasing a classic treat from abroad.
[245]
Wheel cakes are a traditional
Taiwanese street food,
[247]
and these handheld desserts
[249]
are made right in front of your eyes.
[250]
Meanwhile, Sam's Fried Ice Cream
[252]
is a New York food fair staple.
[254]
Here, ice cream is coated
in various toppings
[256]
and fried until silky and crunchy.
[259]
This market is the city's
best late-night spot
[261]
to taste foods from all over the world.
[264]
Each year during the holiday season,
[265]
Manhattan's Bryant Park transforms
into a winter wonderland
[270]
brimming with seasonal foods.
[271]
The star of the show is
always the piping-hot raclette
[274]
loaded onto sandwiches.
[276]
You can never go wrong
[277]
with a blanket of cheese on a chilly day.
[279]
And that's what you'll
find at Baked Cheese Haus,
[281]
where they serve up the Alpine staple.
[283]
If steaming cheese doesn't
make you toasty enough,
[286]
you can finish off your meal
[287]
with hot chocolate poured
into chimney cakes.
[290]
Chimney cakes are a traditional
dessert from Hungary,
[292]
and in Manhattan, they're loading them up
[294]
with melted chocolate and marshmallows.
[296]
With one of these in hand,
[297]
there's no better place
for cozy treats than this
[300]
during the city's coldest months.
[302]
Orlando's East End Market
[303]
gives small makers an
opportunity each year
[306]
to show off their wares to the community.
[308]
It's how many Floridians discovered
[310]
what's known as the state's best cookies.
[312]
Gideon's sells out of its
super-chocolaty cookies
[314]
every single day, but in the end,
[317]
it's worth it when you get your hands
[318]
on this giant 800-calorie
cookie that's unlike any other.
[322]
And if that wasn't sweet enough,
[323]
guests can also find rainbow s'mores
[325]
with handmade marshmallows.
[327]
Every element of these
colorful marshmallows
[329]
is crafted by hand,
[330]
down to the aromatic vanilla extract.
[333]
Even the graham crackers are handmade.
[334]
If you'd like to add a
little savory to your sweet,
[337]
you can find a fried-chicken sandwich
[339]
on a mochi doughnut bun
[340]
at Dochi and Chicken Fire.
[342]
It's a super-Instagrammable dessert,
[344]
but it's the irresistible combo
[346]
of crunchy and chewy textures
[348]
that make this dish sell
out every single day.
[351]
Singapore is world-renowned
for its street food,
[354]
and it all comes together
[355]
at the city's open-air food
markets called hawker centers.
[358]
Nestled in the Chinatown
Complex Food Centre
[360]
is a Michelin-star-rated
food stall, Hawker Chan,
[363]
which is world-renowned for its chicken.
[365]
Chef Chan Hon Meng was the very first chef
[367]
to ever be awarded a
Michelin star for street food
[370]
and has since become world famous.
[372]
Most other stalls in the market
[374]
also make their foods fresh while you wait
[376]
and are known to showcase
a variety of cuisines
[378]
from all over the region.
[381]
For foodies looking to bundle
up in search of unique treats,
[384]
Quebec's Winter Carnival is a
celebration of snow and ice.
[388]
This is where you can find
the famous maple taffy.
[391]
Hot syrup is poured over snow
and rolled up with a stick
[394]
to make a uniquely Canadian candy.
[396]
Quebec is the largest producer
[397]
of maple syrup in the entire world,
[399]
so it's no wonder they
found this extra-sweet way
[401]
to make a unique dessert.
[403]
And a trip to a Canadian food fair
[404]
wouldn't be complete without
some warm and gooey poutine.
[408]
At the Winter Carnival,
[409]
you can get it from Le Bistro SAQ,
[411]
where they make the
traditional french fries
[413]
with cheese curds and gravy on the spot.
[415]
Finally, in the spirit of
uniquely Canadian cuisine,
[418]
there are the BeaverTails.
[420]
No need for alarm --
they are only fried dough
[422]
in the shape of a beaver's tail,
[424]
and much sweeter than the real thing.
[426]
They're covered with cinnamon sugar
[427]
and a whole slew of
other inventive toppings.
[432]
All six New England states
[433]
come together for this yearly festival
[435]
to show off their best foods.
[436]
The most iconic treat is
the giant Big E cream puff.
[439]
It's easily the No. 1 stop at the fair,
[442]
and approximately 5,000 cream
puffs are sold each day.
[445]
Guests can watch them being made
[446]
before diving into the
fair's fluffiest dessert.
[449]
It's a bit of a challenge to
eat but worth every messy bite.
[453]
The only thing bigger than the puffs
[455]
is the giant 1-pound meatball at Frigo's.
[457]
Three generations of Frigo's
[459]
have been making these
humongous meatballs since 1950.
[463]
It started out as a bit of a prank,
[465]
but now it's one of the most
beloved dishes in New England.
[469]
The Miami County Fair is
all about the dessert.
[471]
Every spring, vendors
chef up sweet treats,
[474]
like cheesecake slices dipped
in blue raspberry chocolate
[477]
and maple-glazed doughnuts
served by the bucket.
[479]
The cheesecakes at Polar Bear Ice Cream
[481]
are dunked into all flavors of chocolate
[483]
and coated in sprinkles right
alongside the soft serves.
[486]
Meanwhile, the maple-glazed doughnuts
[488]
are sprayed with nearly endless amounts
[490]
of cinnamon and sugar.
[492]
And, of course, you can't
forget the giant funnel cakes.
[495]
They're topped with powdered
sugar and cream cheese
[497]
before getting loaded with strawberry jam.
[501]
Smorgasburg is a summer
staple in New York City
[503]
that showcases some of
the city's most daring
[505]
and dazzling food creations.
[507]
New Instagrammable delicacies
are debuted each year
[510]
to take social media by storm.
[512]
Famous treats include
the spaghetti doughnut,
[514]
toasted meringue ice cream,
and stunning mango flowers.
[518]
Take the spaghetti doughnut
as the perfect example
[521]
of a social-media showstopper.
[522]
When they were debuted by Pop Pasta,
[524]
it was a take on a traditional
Neapolitan spaghetti pie.
[528]
It took on a life of its
own when it went viral
[530]
and began to garner the
longest lines of the market.
[532]
Also with tons of social-media fame,
[534]
you can find the toasted
meringue ice cream,
[536]
which is as visual as
it is fluffy and sweet.
[539]
It's a unique warm-and-cold
combo beloved by New Yorkers.
