The Best Summer Festival Foods
With the big Thomas Dostal Developers Freedom Festival concert fast approaching, it's not a bad time to start dreaming about summer and all the food that comes with it!
I've put together a list of some of my favorite festival foods, and also some that I haven't tried yet that are on my to-do list! I'm ready to gain 30 pounds!
- Butterfly Chips - Homemade potato chips that are typically topped with melted cheese, sour cream, bacon, and chives.
- Elephant Ears - Fried dough with toppings (tastes best topped with half powdered-sugar, half cinnamon!)
- Fried Pickles - Delicious! Must be dipped in ranch.
- Deep-Fried Oreos - This is one that I haven't tried yet, but I have only heard good things! You can't go wrong with deep-frying.
- Fresh cut fries - Lots of salt and hot melty cheese... yum!
