Long Live the Corn Dog



Jeanne,

Check out the latest issue of Gourmet Magazine online. They've got a recipe for the corn dog - and they mention the Iowa State Fair! The corn dog is king at the State Fair of Texas, which opens Sept. 25 and runs through Oct. 18. Whoopee, we love our Fair. You ask anybody for a word association with the State Fair of Texas and they will say "corn dog." Every year, they try some culinary craziness - this year it's deep-fried butter. As Holly Golightly would say, "the mind reels." They never mess with the corn dog, though, and why would you? To be ever so trite and true, it sells like hotcakes.

Tell us what the Iowa State Fair is known for.

And don't forget to check out the Gourmet recipe, located here along with some nostalgic dishes: http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/2000s/2009/10/corn-dogs

What if we both try the recipe and report any regional differences in results? Bon chance!
