Sampling every food on a stick at the Iowa State Fair
Lindsay Grooters wants to sample every item at the fair that's sold on a stick. There are 55 such items sold at the fair this year.
She said one of the things she was eager to try on Wednesday was chocolate-covered bacon.
She said she's already making plans for what she wants to eat on Thursday.
"Deep fried potato lollipops," she said. "I haven't found those. I'm loving it."

And behind curtain 2, you've won.......absolutely nothing. Nice try for attention, next.

I was thoroughly disappointed to see that the chocolate-covered bacon was, in fact, not in the fair at all, but just outside gate 11? i think.

She might not have put on any weight, but her arteries are hating her...

I want to get Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern to come try it all out. I think that would be a good show.

It'll catch up to her in time. Maybe not today...maybe not tomorrow... but someday her *** will feel the effects of the fair.

you're all a bunch of nancys ... 55 items on a stick in 10 days? More power too her, but Joey Chestnut would do that in under 8 mins.
Gotta live life!

Can't get that link to open. But another site put the tally at

The count would be tough to nail down, but a conservative guess is around 14,000 calories and 650 grams of fat.
"ummm! Very good."
Spread across 10 days (and presuming that she eats little more, or much healthier otherwise) - that's not really as bad as I thought it would be.
I tried to keep to the "healthier" selection off the fair website. Turkey tenderloin, Chicken Ceasar wrap. None of which was too bad. Quite good actually. Got a regular ol' corndog and a few lemonades (and the obligatory beers Friday night). Tried to get to the pork chop on the stick - but didn't in time.

If gate 11 is the main gate, that's right. In fact the stand is right next to the Main Gate Grill.
Bacon...covered in chocolate. On a stick.
