Bizarre State Fair Food!! Washington lost their minds!!

Intro in this video I'm hunting down the most bizarre state fair food in the USA what are the menu items that give people a double take or people are like wait what is that peanut butter jelly and bacon every single time but first let's back up so far we've gone deep into the far out fair food offerings of the New York State Fair after this I'm going to need a defibrillator to keep my heart going oh my gosh then we drop by the Minnesota State Fair I've had the version of this food many times in Vietnam it cost about a dollar or two here $15 what's going on now just like LS and Clark we're pushing even further Westward to the Washington State Fair the biggest in the Pacific Northwest and one of the largest in the Washington State Fair world good morning and welcome to the Washington State Fair quick tip if you want to go to a fair without any lines go early in the morning also going on a weekday doesn't hurt today it's Thursday it's early morning they just opened and we basically have the place to ourselves here when you're done with the rides and the seal shows you'll witness some of this country's most odd unusual unnerving food creation State Bears are the perfect place to experiment with food taking ingredients you never expect to see together but jamming them together anyways and seeing what happens like crossing a corgi with a husky it shouldn't be done but it's fun to watch from Fruity Pebble cheese dogs all the way to battered and deep fried pork belly check out this white pile right here this is a respectable white pile enough to make Pablo Escobar impressed today I'm here to try it all this could get Brutal by the end of the Kinka Peroski day and it all starts here this place is called Kinka peroski [Music] Kinka peroski started its journey in the 1970s here in Seattle offering a traditional Ukrainian Cuisine experience to folks in the USA we've been doing mobile food operations since 1979 my grandmother when she was running it she had my father stand up front and eat them just to show off that look what we have here I want that job where you just stand outside your own place and eat the food continuously I would also have to have alcohol in the menu then waiting in line here comes with a tasty reward a peroski it's essentially a cheese bur tucked inside a donut I've broken into the kitchen and this is where all the fun begins they have a dough mixer right here behind me as soon as the dough is done we're going to see how the stuffing works I believe this may be some kind of a dough extruder portioning device she gets this big lever squeezes it down and then let's see what that's done to the dough boom perfect portions she works it a little bit by hand and then it's in with the fillings starting with beef a load of beef and then a big respectable square of cheddar Cheese close it up and that is ready for the fryer but they don't just let it fry or float on top of the oil they're actually going to put it in a little oil jail the outside feels amazing just like crunchy perfectly taned fried bread and man there is so much meat and so much cheese on the inside I'm a little scared that it's going to boil my face off when I take a bite but let's see what happens M oh man that is like a thick cakey dough wrapper on the outside the bread is so thick I hardly even got to the meat yet but you can see it just steaming inside there it looks gorgeous all right let me get a big meat bite the beef is super heavy and greasy I think I found a little bit of the cheese in there too the seasoning blend in there tastes pretty simple and straightforward it's definitely like salt pepper it doesn't really have a strong flavor it tastes just kind of like the natural beefiness which is nice the cheese is also nice very creamy delicious oh look a forklift and guys going to have to carry me out of here later the Washington Beef Turnover State Fair welcomed its first visitors in 1900 now every year more than 1 million attendees flocked to the 160 acre Fairground for a myriad of unique [Music] experiences a brief stroll from our Ukraine kitchen introduces me to another taste of Europe FL Kush German German as the German word means a little meat cake despite the tongue twisting name the cash cow here is much more easy to say and they call it the beef turnover an ice cream scoop full of seasoned minced beef and a hit of jalapeno is encased inside a flattened dough and then deep fried we started serving here in 1963 there was three grandmas that started a booth on the outside of the fair and they were serving them for like 17 cents fair prices have only gone up like 10% since then roughly however our bizarre food theme has led us to this all right we have come into the kitchen how the mac and tots are made and it all starts with frying the tater tot we always had people saying you guys need to have something along with your beef turnover you know hamburger and french fries and that kind of thing so we started with potater tots and then we kind of had already macaroni and cheese as a kids meal and so we just kind of combined them one day and then it just started flying off the shelf tots are done let's head over to the mac and cheese station The Love Story between America and mac and cheese dates back at least 3 centuries these days the average American consumes over 2 lb of mac and cheese per year I grew up in Minnesota in a trailer house and so for me mac and cheese comes from a blue box and you don't bake it and put like a crumb on top of it what kind of mac and cheese are we dealing with here we don't use craft mac and cheese we use like a sters oh so use like Vita yeah for me that was fancy to round off our macin tots shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits boom macin tots $10 it is a carbohydrate bomb it's carbs on carbs the only protein here is a bacon that's going to really lighten things up it's not I'm going to grab a tot these tots are super crispy salty crunchy goodness you know this is a good base that we're starting out with but this dish is not just about the tater tots right here we have the mac and cheese super creamy soft noodles buttery Rich decent tot and mac and cheese together at last you got Crunch and you got creaminess all in one mouthful and I got some Smoky bacon in there too how am I going to eat like six more More Foods today oh Biscuit Battered Shrimp man as the hunt for more bizarre food offerings continues I'm headed toward a maniacal meat Maestro who's battering and frying thick chunks of pork belly it's a dessert meat but before that I'm making time for some unknown Southern Delights in the swamp tonight this place is known as had ma Southern Delights I'm looking at the menu right now you can find Fried Green Tomatoes alligator kebabs an and dewy sausage corn dog so lots of cool southern food but foods that have been terified today here for one peculiar bizarre offering and that is the biscuit battered shrimp it sounds like breaded shrimp but no the construction gets wild boom I'm in the kitchen right here with Steven Steven is going to be assembling our biscuit battered shrimp first Steve drops battered shrimpies into a fiery pool of oil then battered okra are fried alongside in true Southern fashion and then we firey waffle con I'm going to sit that there for a few seconds while this cooks and then as soon as these are done I'm going to grab those some graving on top of it so we start with three fried shrimp inside the cone then four pieces of fried okra then the remaining shrimp pieces get piled on top oh my gosh country graving going on top this thing is wild and that is the final product I cannot wait to try that out I'm going to pick out a shrimp to begin with you can see it's falling apart there's some gravy on there it's got that beautiful batter and it's still steaming too that's good bup juicy shrimp delicious flavor really crunchy on the outside a wonderfully seasoned batter that is awesome all right I'm going to how do I approach this feel happy I can't believe how good this is you have the crunch of the waffle cone on the outside and then I just love the way he smothered it with gravy until the gravy was going all the way to the bottom of the cone there's so much delicious super Savory country gravy flavor in there even the okra tastes Super Fresh it's essentially a salad in a cone cuz there's four fried okas biscuit battered shrimp it's one of the newest inventions of this mad food scientist and stall owner Mitch personally I love Cajun Creole food we just wanted to kind of bring something unique to the fairground and this happens to be the only Southern themed booth on the fairground besides Fried Candy Pork Belly Hatty ma Mitch owns and runs 24 other stalls on the fairgrounds catering to Cravings you didn't even know you had including fatty pork belly that been transformed into a decadent dessert boom I'm here with Mitch again a shrine for fried food Fanatics totally fried presents an array of deep fried treats ranging from Oreos to Cheesecake however I'm here for their most eccentric concoction what's fried Candi pork belly how does that work breaking the barrier between meat and sweets isn't new but it also isn't easy for example in central Vietnam a dessert of roasted pork inside of tapioca balls are served with a sugary syrup that is awesome but it's so weird so good so Weir so weird but Mitch's fried candy pork belly was born to shatter calorie records basically we kind of bury it beneath brown sugar also a little bit of rock candy syrup and a lot of salt and we just slow cook it for about 4 hours till it's nice and tender and crispy and then we batter it deep fry it and then coat it with a lot of powdered sugar and serve it with a goou jang Mayo little bit of Korean influence in there I like it take a look at that beauty just big thick crunchy pieces of batter on the outside that have been fried up nicely nothing left to do but to put it inside [Music] me oh my God this is awesome pork is already kind of a sweet meat so it doesn't hurt to add even more sugar and it is so soft tender gelatinous almost going to give that a little bit of a dip now I'm curious is it goou Jong why is it orange goou Jong Mayo it should be red I feel it yep I taste it there is a little bit of goou Jong in there this is really unique because you know living in Asia it's easy to get pork belly everywhere in the US if you want pork belly you can only find it in the form of bacon at a mainstream grocery store but here he's got his own meat guy I need a meat guy maybe me and this meat guy can meet I'm so tired I don't know I'm talking about Corn Dogs any state fair is incomplete without food on a stick from 3ft long corn dogs what do you keep doing at some point it's going to go through me Calvin to the giant Dilly dogs at the Minnesota State Fair uh gravity is not helping me right now I thought I'd seen it all that was until I arrived at extreme Carnival East the my beef the mash to my this doll takes Korea's wildest corn dog Creations to the next level with over-the-top food options like this the hot cheetah cheese doll a massive chunk of cheese on a stick is wrapped in batter Dragged In breadcrumbs then deep fried after it's coated in nacho cheese then hot Cheeto powder finally it's garnished with Sriracha mayo yet the most eccentric dog you'll encounter here is dressed up like Joseph and the Amazing teched color Dream Coat my favorite Cal in the world would probably be Fruity Pebbles maybe after golden Gams and then Cocoa Pebble it's top three but you have a Fruity Pebbles Korean cheese dog what's that about welcoming me here Mary the boss and vision AR of extreme Carnival eats it's basically a giant mozzarella stick dipped in our special batter rolled in tempura and then we coat it after it's cooked in Fruity Pebble [Music] cereal it's delicious well let's find out for ourselves what makes this a Korean dog a couple things one it's filled with cheese two the tanko crust on the outside it's a very Korean thing I remember my first time I tried it in Korea I lived there for 8 years and I thought is there shake and bake on my corn dog cuz that's what it feels like let's pick it up oh man nice structural Integrity it's not like too gooey it got kind of a jam sauce I wonder if we're going to get a cheese pull out of this wo that's incredible it's sweet and it's cheesy the Fruity Pebbles are giving off that amazing artificial fruit Essence I like it the jam sauce that ties it all together that makes it work it's kind of like this sweet binding agent that brings all the elements together like booze at a party this lady has an insane menu I wish I could just do a whole episode about her and how her brain works the only thing that's not remarkable on her menu is a bucket of fries no offense it makes sense that you have it there for the people who want to order that but you come here and you see all this and you order french fries don't hang out with people like that if this cheesy fruity stick hasn't left you shocked and dismayed then our final food of the day Chicken Waffle Sandwich most definitely will peanut butter jelly bacon and of course the hot dog in there too what do you think makes this combination work but first Mary has another quirky recipe hidden up her sleeve Nashville hot chicken waffle sandwich so it's chicken with Nashville hot sauce between two Belgium waffles it's kind of a spin-off on Chicken and Waffles the marriage of chicken and waffles initially served the needs of night owls grappling with the choice between a late night dinner and an early breakfast providing a delightful Fusion of the two you have the sweetness of the syrup along with the saltiness of the chicken and you know Savory and sweet are you two taste you want to go for when you eat it's like Bonnie and Clyde exactly boom I'm in the kitchen with Mike we're going to see how he makes the Nashville hot chicken waffle it all starts with the chicken so right here we have what looks like chicken fingers and that's going to hit the oil right now this this beef when it's done do you ever hear that beep in your nightmares no what makes Chicken and Waffles great is that the sweetness actually works really well with the fried chicken is this going to be sweet is it going to be hot what am I looking at here so the waffles aren't super sweet just a little hint of sweetness the Nashville hot isn't too extremely hot it's more but medium Nashville hot sauce Nashville medium I like it sounds safe Mary and her husband launched into their state fair Journey over a decade ago debuting with a pizza Booth last year they birthed extreme Carnival eats transforming their wildest ideas into reality 5 minutes has gone by let's take out that chicken and it's time to dump it under the heat lamps now the chicken is ready we got to get started with the waffle grab a waffle fling it on the flat top grab some chicken place the chicken on the waffle some pickles next this is the Nashville hot right here oh and right here we have a sweet syrup going on this is an amazing combination time to top it off and that is complete right here we have our Nashville hot chicken waffle for 1635 now it doesn't really compress oh my gosh can I even pick this up oh no I got to give the handleability about a three out of 10 I'm so sorry Mary okay I've got it now it's drip into the plate below it's very inviting I've heard of toasting up buns for a burger but toasting up the waffle that's [Music] nice man that is a a delightful texture combination just like Mary said it is Savory and it's sweet that chicken is so crunchy and the waffle I got to say putting the waffle on the flat top that is key this is like a pre-made Belgian waffle if you get a waffle like this just from a bag it's going to be kind of dry you got to do stuff to it to kind of toast it and soften it up at the same time the only thing is that they should call this Nashville mild Mary I'm not hating I love you and I love your Zeal it's not hot but it's CR it's ay it's sweet and Starvin Marvin joy before I reach the weight limit for a forklift I gu going to have to carry me out of here later there's still room in my stomach for one more dog a hot dog here at Starvin Marvin setting their food truck in Motion in 2018 Melissa and her wife have been producing a distinctive assortment of gourmet hot dogs for the fortunate people of Washington what makes a hot dog Gourmet and not just a normal hot dog so it's all about the quality of the meat but then also the toppings all sorts of fun toppings things that you maybe wouldn't ever think to put on top of a hot dog if you crave the ultimate comfort food the Mac Daddy won't disappoint you stacking mac and cheese and bacon on a hot dog for a boulder option consider the Chicago dog boasting pickle tomato mustard onion relish celery salt and hot peppers it should be clear by now that the hot dog game at Starvin Marvin is aiming to knock off your socks or any other type of Footwear what are the menu items that give people a double take where people are like wait what is that peanut butter jelly and bacon every single time it's peanut butter jelly bacon and of course the hot dog in there too yep how' you come up with this as the name suggests the PB and J&B hot dog takes off with a massive peanut butter smear inside the hot dog bun my wife and I were just sitting at home one day I'm from upstate New York where like hot dogs are like a thing anywhere you go pretty much next a hot dog rests in that cozy bed and I like jelly on a lot of things followed by a sweet hit of jelly I've never had peanut butter jelly and bacon but we were just sitting there like let's try it and a hail storm of bacon bits so we put it together and we're like this is a winner the sweet and salty it works man ladies and gentlemen this is my final bizarre state fair food cuz after this I'm going to explode my stomach cannot take it anymore oh look this band is doing sound check oh yeah let's pick it up let's test that structural Integrity the bun seems nice and soft crunching it together I'm smooshing it together I'm going to spread that bacon out you can see that jelly sticking on this is awesome now somebody who grew up in a trailer house eating GIF and Smuckers jelly this is close to my [Music] heart oh W yeah to be careful there's a thick streak of peanut butter in there I got it and my God it is delicious look a beauty I mean the bacon adds some crunch on top sweet jelly but you got to be careful that peanut butter will seal your trachea shut make sure you got plenty of saliva going beforehand Sunny taste or something it's not a competition I'm trying to figure out does it taste like I spilled some peanut butter and jelly into my hot dog or I spilled a hot hot dog into my peanut butter and jelly cuz it's one to the other I think it's more like a hot dog fell into my peanut butter and jelly sandwich but I kept eating it anyways how would that happen practically I don't know if
