It's that time of year again, guys. It's county fair time -- and by that we mean it's fair food time. While we're fond of our beautifully baked crepe cakes and our crisp panzanella salads, there will always be a special place in our heart for the worst (or best, depending on who you ask) of foods deep fried at the fair. We might not be able to really get down with deep-fried butter, but deep-fried Klondike bars are definitely something worth trying.
If there's one stand that really takes fair food to the next level, it's Chicken Charlie's. Chicken Charlie's has brought us Totally-Fried Kool-Aid. They're also responsible for the Totally Fried PB&J. One things for sure, they're creative deep-fryers.
And while Chicken Charlie's is definitely making a significant contribution to America's obesity problem, they're at least innovative in the kitchen. Check out our favorite highlights of the Chicken Charlie's menu:
