Best Food at the NC State Fair 2024!

October 8, 2024

The NC State Fair just came out with it’s list of new foods for the upcoming 2024 Fair on October 17-27th!  Here are our votes for the five craziest, five that will no doubt clog your arteries, five that we are most excited about, five most unique drinks, and five best desserts!

 

Craziest New Foods

 

Chamoy Pickles – Flavored pickles wrapped in Fruit Roll Ups and stuffed with candy, sprinkles and chips!  That is sure to have your kids bouncing off the walls.

Sizzing Hot Funnel Cake – Just your typical funnel cake topped with nacho cheese and of course, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos!

Dilly Dog – Hot dogs and pickles, a natural combination right!

Loaded Bologna Fries – This could easily be in the artery clogging section, but it’s a pretty combination to make fries out of bologna, and naturally top it off with chili cheese sauce.

NC Crab and Shrimp Bomb in Hot Cheetos – A new style of Old Bay seasoning, hot Cheetos!  The Cheetos crumbles will create the crunchy outer shell, and be filled with cheese crab meat and shrimp.

Most likely to Clog your Arteries

 

Bacon Cheeseburger Corn Dog – A cheeseburger, dipped in corn dog batter, with more cheese and bacon on the outside.  Hard to walk away from this one.

Deep Fried Loaded Cheese Puffs – Yea…the name says it all on this one.  Oh and there’s ranch too.

Spending an afternoon in Raleigh? Start with a delicious coffee from one of our local roasters, then take a stroll through Nash or Moore Square to soak up the City of Oaks feel. Next, take your pick of several popular museums, including the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and the North Carolina Museum of History, both conveniently located along Fayetteville Street. You’ll also find the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) Raleigh and Marbles Kids Museum, which offers interactive exhibits for families. Grab an afternoon bite at City Market (Vic’s Ristorante is one of the best spots in town for pizza) or head up to Beasley’s for southern fare. Walk by the historic State Capitol. Cap it all off by catching a breathtaking skyline view at The Dillon or 10th and Terrace and then winding down the evening with craft cocktails at the hidden speakeasy, The Greenlight.

@theshinydiner in #raleighnc brings me back to my childhood and sparks nostalgia. 

Stepping inside, the retro chrome and neon lights transport me back to Saturday nights as a kid. I remember enjoying their massive milkshakes and  chocolate chip pancakes that seemed to melt in my mouth. 

But even now, @theshinydiner remains a beloved gem and there’s nothing else like it in the Raleigh area.
