WEST ALLIS — The Wisconsin State Fair is well-known for having some crazy food concoctions. Some mouthwatering, others a little more nauseating. How does a pickle quesadilla sound? Or a Gochujang Smash Burger? If you're really brave, how about a donut topped with crickets, ants, grasshoppers, worms, and a scorpion?
It can be hard to tell what will be good and what won't. However, Milwaukee's food and restaurant guru, Lori Fredrich with OnMilwaukee, came up with as close to a definitive guide to the best and worst foods at the State Fair as possible. She tried 16 different items and ranked each one.
I teamed up with her to try four of the new foods. It was a mix of the best, worst, and average.
Here is what we tried: Ube Butter Banana French Toast Lumpia, Gochujang Smash Burger, Dill Dawg Dorito Bombs, and Peanut Butter S’mores Sweet Potato Fries.
