Best Food at the NC State Fair 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.

Swedish Meat Pizza Cone – Swedish meatballs, cheese, and of course, gravy. Good going down but…

Cowboy Bites – White cheddar cheese and Texas Brisket, with panko and finished off with a deep fry.

Barbecue Bacon Queso Sandwich – Some eastern style BBQ with queso, and yes, topped off with more pork with some bacon.

I’m Most Excited for These
Sweet Cheese Pie – Pancakes, stuffed with cheese, fried and dipped in syrup. Take my money.

Buffalo Chicken Pizza Cone – Buffalo pizza, in a cone. Very convenient, very tasty.

Deep Fried Ribs – Potentially another artery clogger, but you get to choose your sauce, and yep, it’s deep fried.

Mexican Street Corn Nachos – Mexican street corn without getting it all stuck in your teeth, plus nachos! Yea, I’m excited for this one.

Philly Chicken Egg Roll – I like egg rolls, and I like Philly Chickens with cheese, can’t see anything wrong with that combo.

Most Unique Drinks
Pickle Dr. Pepper – I can’t say I’ve ever wondered what this would taste like, but here it is.

Glazed Donut Coffee Float – Iced coffee with vanilla ice cream, and donuts. Not sure if this is more a dessert or a drink?

Pumpkin Spice Iced Tea – What better way to get into the spirit of Fall by mixing pumpkin flavor with iced tea.

Mangonada – If you like Mangos, check this out.

Sweet Maple Bacon Iced Tea – Another tea, this time with sweet maple bacon. Sounds amazing.

Best Desserts
S’more Pizza Cone – Crispy pizza cone filled with your classic s’more ingredients. A s’more without the mess?

Cotton Candy Mini Cakes – Yes, yes and more yes. Pancakes, cotton candy, and syrup, enough said.

Summerween Slush – Orange creamsicle with whipped cream and cookie crumbles, and all inside a halloween spirited mug!

Birth Cake Cookie Dough on a Stick – If you like cookie dough, here you go. And it’s conveniently on a stick.

Strawberry Lemonade Donut – Just your typical donut with lemon frosting and strawberry lemonade crumbles. I’ll take three.

There are so many more new food, drinks and desserts to check out at the Fair this year! Check out the full list at the NC State Fair’s Official Website. It was definitely hard to pick out my favorites here.

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.

🌟 Are you of pouring hours into content with little to show for it? 😩

✅ No more guessing what to post or wasting hours on content that doesn’t deliver.
Instead of chasing leads, they come to you.
🎯 It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing the right things.
💡 Let me help you turn your social media frustration into a system that brings in leads consistently and grows your business.
👉 Are you ready to stop posting aimlessly and start creating a strategy that actually gets you results?
🔥🔥 Let’s make it happen.
⬇️ Comment “Facebook” below and I’ll share information on a step by step guide on how I went from 0 sales to over $250 million in the last 5 years from this strategy ALONE!
