The San Diego Fair (originally the Del Mar Fair) has released the vendors with their crazy foods. Like last year, I am planning on trying as many as I can. Now, what am I going to try?
Bacon-A-Fair
• Porkabello Kabob (bacon-wrapped, Gouda-stuffed portabello on a stick)
• Caveman Turkey Club (One pound of bacon wrapped around an extra large turkey leg)
• Manly Gourmet (two pieces of bacon wrapped around sausage stuffed with mushrooms, artichoke and smoked mozzarella)
• Meat Lovers Hot Dog on a Stick (deep-fried, beer-battered, bacon-wrapped hot dog)
• Baconshrooms (deep-fried, bacon-wrapped mushrooms)
• Half Pound Meat-On-Meat Dog (quarter-pound, all-beef dog wrapped with a quarter-pound of bacon)
• Porky Poppers (bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños)
Gingerbread House on the Avenue:
• Cookie Dough on a Stick
Chicken Charlie's on the Concourse near AgriFair:
• Deep-Fried Cereal
• Deep-Fried Pork Chops
• Deep-Fried Peanut Butter and Jelly
Del Mar Diner in Plaza de México:
• Buffalo Chicken Sliders: served on Hawaiian Bun, shredded lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing
• Chicken Fried Steak on a stick/mashed potatoes with Country-style sausage gravy
• French Fries with country-style gravy
• Deep-Fried Chili Asteroid: Award-winning homemade chili & cheese, deep-fried in a hush-puppy batter
• Flying Saucer Sopés: Deep-fried tortilla cake, topped with homemade chili, cheese, sour cream and green onions
• French Toast sticks with syrup dipping sauce
• Pie Fries: Deep-fried pie crust strips with strawberry preserves on the side
• Deep-Fried Tang
Pignotti's Pasta near O'Brien Hall and the Skyway:
• Bacon Pasta on a plate or in a bread bowl
• Bread Bowls (fill them with pasta or antipasto salad)
This is just a sampling of what's being offered. But I do believe that I will have to try the Pie Fries and everything from the Bacon-A-Fair.
I need to have a check up with my doctor before and after I do this.

All I had today for lunch was a salmon roll. 
This sounds good, but I've yet to find a place that does Buffalo sauce properly. Too many places think that Buffalo sauce = hot sauce.

A good buffalo sauce should, at the same time, be spicy, vinagery, salty, and buttery. I find a good starting ratio is half hot sauce, half butter, with 1 clove of finely minced garlic per 4 fluid ounces of sauce, and salt to taste.
Hmm, all I had for lunch was a Healthy Choice frozen thing, a cup of Greek yogurt, and a small apple. I'm feeling more than a little disappointed now. Also, I'm getting chest pains just from reading the bacon menu.

I'm imagining they take a jar of Tang mix, and dump it in the fryer.
Making an inedible mess.

I had entirely too many fried pickles for dinner thanks to this thread.
That Porkabello Kebob sounds awesome.

This thread is such a stark contrast with the way that the women of my office are trying to out-rabbit food each other at lunch right now. One of them might actually be gnawing on a piece of bark.

Bring in a steak and eat it at your desk while they chow on their celery sticks.

Good idea. I think I'll try to grill it with the toaster oven.

This reminds me of a story, so won't y'all grab a glass of sweet tea, pull up a rockin' chair, and sit a spell.
I have always loved to read. My appetite for books has actually gone down as I got older (and discovered girls and video games, not necessarily in that order), but I still put away a book a month at least. When I was a pre-teen, my parents signed me up for this club that would mail me a new book every month. They weren't super long novels and they were mostly geared towards pre-teens, but I loved them.
My favorite one was about a boy who wanders off from the campsite his parents are at and gets lost in the woods. The boy only manages to survive because he figures out how to make a fire by gluing the lenses of his glasses together with tree sap with some water in between them so he can focus the rays of the sun better. When I was forced to get glasses around the age of 12, my sole consolation was that if I ever got lost in the woods, I could start a fire with the lenses.

What if my steak comes on a pile of fries and is topped with pasta and tortilla chips?...

Not if you eat it fast enough.
