Delicious Fair Foods You Can Find Outside the SD County Fair

We’re getting excited for the upcoming San Diego Fair – the rides, the music, and, of course, the food! But you can fill your fair food cravings all year round at these fair-inspired dishes at local San Diego restaurants:

AEnjoy the fresh from the fryer Warm Crispy Mini Donuts at Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza & Grill. These fluffy, delicious donuts are perfect for sharing, with both raspberry and chocolate sauces to served to accompany every bite.

Roll up the sleeves and dig into the Dirty Fries at The Pioneer. The heaping plate of fries is loaded with smoked pulled pork, sour cream, shredded cheddar, smokehouse beans, pickled jalapenos and topped with ooey, gooey mac n’ cheese for a delicious take on a finger food favorite.

Check out the flavorful Cotton Candy at Park 101, the family-friendly mecca for outdoor fun in Carlsbad Village. It’s a bright and tasty offering of the sugary classic that’s sure to bring out the kid in everyone.

Beat the carnival lines and stay cool with a Custom Ice Cream Sandwich from the Baked Bear at The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. You are in control as you pick your way through dozens of ice cream flavors that can be paired with freshly baked cookies, fudgy brownies and donuts.

Fuel the fun with the Frito Pie at The Smoking Gun, a Gaslamp restaurant known for its spin on classic All-American fare. Let’s set the dish for you- award winning chili, sour cream and chives all inside a cut open bag of Fritos.

Satisfy your fried food hankering with a Churro at The Taco Stand, a family-owned eatery that’s recreating the Tijuana taqueria experience. The three-churro order is always served fresh, hot and covered in a delicious blend of cinnamon sugar.
