As you probably know already, the Wisconsin State fair was canceled this year. But NEVER FEAR!! They are doing an alternative so that you can still get the food that you love from the fair. They are doing a drive-through state fair! We went yesterday which was the second day that they are running it and really thought that they did a great job putting it together. The drive-through fair is running for the next four weekends (Thursday-Sunday) and will feature different restaurants every week. You go through gate 9 which is just off of 76th street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They have attendants lined up to point you in the right direction throughout the entire process. You can choose to go into a restaurant line or skip it. They give you a menu with all of the options (also can be found online, we will attach it) and tell you which stop it's at so you know where to go. Word of caution: if you see that the pretzel line looks long, it's way longer that you think it is because the line stretches all the way around the corner. Skip it if the line seems long because you'll be waiting forever and can't really get out of line (we luckily were able to get out of the line because we were at the way back, but we were SHOCKED when we saw that the line stretched around the corner with an additional 20-25 cars, thank goodness we got out of the line when we did or we might still be there now 😉) We stopped at several of the booths this weekend (note: not all of the booths we visited this weekend may be there for upcoming weekends, they rotate the menus and booths). We stopped at the following: 1. 3B Corn Dogs and Dippin' Dots (we got Dippin' Dots and ate it while waiting in other lines) 2. The Pork Schoppe (we got the butterfly pork sandwich, it was a bit spicy but Elizabeth's cat liked it so it was pretty good) 3. Kora's Cookie Dough (we got the monster cookie dough and the chocolate chip cookie dough, not our favorite, but if you adore cookie dough it's worth checking out) 4. Island Noodles (we got chicken teriyaki noodles, super delicious and you get a lot more than you think in the package. There's enough to feed two people, or one person if you're super hungry) 8. Waffle Chix (we got the mix-and-match waffles on a stick: the chicken in a waffle on a stick and the brownie in a waffle on a stick, they are delicious and super interesting!) 10, Charlie's Great Food (we got the Italian Sausage and the Smoked Jumbo Turkey Leg which were cooked to perfection) Check out all of the menus and other details including the hours of operation here (note that the menus will not be posted on the website until the Monday of that week): We apologize for not having pictures of the actual fair experience, it was just too hard to try to take pictures, drive around, find the places we wanted to go, and wrap up the food at the same time.
