The Top 5 New North Carolina State Fair Foods To Get Your Hands On in 2024
1. Swedish Meat Pizza Cone (Kono Pizza)
I mean, come on. How can you not love every single word there? If this ends up even being half as good as it sounds, I’ll have no choice but to leave everything I know behind and carve a new life for myself in Sweden.
2. Mema Mia (Ezzell's Something Good)
Ezzell’s literally and figuratively COOKED with this one. The Mema Mia is a deep-fried spaghetti sandwich topped with sweet coleslaw, fusing rich, hearty Italian cuisine with a tangy southern kick. If I could go back in time and tell 8 year old KC one single thing to look forward to in the future, it’s this.
3. Deep Fried Loaded Cheese Puffs (Chester's Gators & Tators)
It’s hard to top deep fried cheese puffs with a smattering of cheese, bacon, jalapeños and ranch dressing. So much cheese, so much spice. I can’t wait to eat an entire basket of these beauties then proceed to singlehandedly put my plumber’s kids through college.
4. S'more Pizza Cone (Kono Pizza)
It seems that the people at Kono have cracked the secret to making both savory and sweet foods extra delicious: make it cone-shaped! Everyone knows that the cone is the perfect shape for maximizing flavor. That’s just basic science. My only fear is that this may ruin classically square-shaped s’mores for me forever, but that is a risk I’m willing to take.
Glazed Donut Coffee Float (Fluffy's Hand Cut Donuts)
I’ll admit I’m not the biggest coffee drinker, but even I can’t deny how breathtakingly yummy this whole setup looks. This thing looks like it’ll give me the caffeinated jolt I need to finally get my life in order. You absolutely do-nut want to miss out on this fair food delicacy.
