The sights, the carnival ride frights, and the bites. The annual Pima County Fair is a combination of all of these things and it’s happening from Thursday, April 20 – Sunday, April 30.
There seems to be a theme at this year’s fair: Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Pizza. Throw some Hot Cheetos on it. Chicken Sandwich? Toss some Hot Cheetos on that, too.
So, when you’re not getting dazed by one of the dizzying fair rides, take a bite out of some of these festive meals that oughta keep your energy goin’ at 11300 S. Houghton Rd. Prepare for a journey through the following list of deep-fried delights, meat wrapped around other pieces of meat, and wonky meals that’ll tickle your tummy.
“This interesting idea is a New York-style pizza with a white dill ranch pizza sauce. It’s topped with heaps of fresh mozzarella, loaded with thick-cut dill pickles, and then topped off with crunchy Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Guaranteed to change everything you thought you knew about pizza!”
“Allow us to introduce the Cotton Candy Taco with a fluffy cotton candy shell, filled with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, topped with assorted gummies, and then folded into a fun and sweet treat! Literally the ultimate sugar taco!”
“Say hello to our little fiery friend: Hot Cheeto Chicken! Yummy double-fried chicken breast immediately dipped in rich melted cheddar cheese. After the cheese dip, the chicken is then rolled in crunchy Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and topped with crunchy dill pickles! Hot Cheeto Chicken is served on a stick or can be served on a toasted buttery brioche bun.”
“Making its debut on the carnival midway is the new Tucson Two-Step Ice Cream Cone! A double cone filled with a chocolate swirl in one and the other a vanilla swirl. One dipped in chocolate and the other in caramel then rolled in caramel kettle corn!”
“We promised something sweet and more predictable. So here we are! Who can hate a funnel cake? Suck it Up Funnel Cakes will be offering up $3 funnel cakes during the fair happy hour, until 5 p.m., Monday, April 24 – Wednesday, April 26.”
“This year we introduce the new Captain Chicken Sandwich! It’s a double fried extra crispy chicken breast drizzled with Honey Raspberry Glaze and topped with Cap’n Crunchberry cereal. The peanut buttery fruity cereal lends the perfect compliment to a great sandwich! If you like Chicken and waffles…. you’re going to love this fair food fix!”
