Members Smart Alec Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 Ah, the Florida State Fair in Plant City. Oh, the memories... Hey, this year they've got Brad Paisley and Incubus. Not on the same day, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author MikeRivers Posted September 19, 2011 CMS Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 There used to be a lunch counter restaurant in Charlottesville VA (home of the University of Virginia) going back about 30 years, maybe more, that served a version of that sandwich. I don't think they put bacon on it, but the crux of the biscuit, as it were, was a cheeseburger between two KK glazed donuts. The whole thing went into a sandwich grill for a minute or so to get some of the sugar on the surface of the donuts caramelized. They called it a "Grillswith" and it was popular with students. That name has apparently been usurped by a sandwich of ice cream between two grilled donuts, with chocolate sauce drizzled on top. The ice cream version is currently served by a diner in Charlottesville, and I think this may be the same place that sold the hamburger version in the 1970s.

Members UstadKhanAli Posted September 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 I know that sometimes, some of these seemingly strange sorts of things can actually taste pretty good. For example, sometimes, slides of pears can taste good in a salad. And when I was in the Detroit airport, I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with honey and bacon on it that tasted good. But this doughnut burger seems utterly revolting. Nonetheless, people line up for these at fairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will eat anything at fairs. That's where the corn dog started, then the deep fried Snickers and Milky Way. I heard that some fair this year had a deep fried butter stick on a stick.

Dayam, you're insane!!! Did the tastes blend at all? Or did it just seem weird? Or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hush Posted September 24, 2011 Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 I was hoping that the sweet and savory would blend to be something interesting. But it didn't really blend. The two flavors just stayed separate. It didn't help that the donuts were cold. I think if they were warm it might have worked better. But not good enough that I would want to try it again. The Fair is coming up in a couple of weeks. We'll see what crazyness the cook up this year. Two years ago I tried the deep fried snickers and 2 bites were enough for me. I'll definitely skip on the deep fried butter. I think I might try the deep fried Twinkie this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted September 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 24, 2011 I could picture the deep-fried Twinkie being good. I'm not sure if I'd try it, but I can picture it being good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members UstadKhanAli Posted September 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 26, 2011 That's right...that's gotta be one of the more stupid crappy sandwiches I've seen. Do those sell well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hush Posted October 17, 2011 Members Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hit the State Fair this weekend. First time on a weekend. In the past, when I was not a contractor and didn't loose a days pay when I took the day off, we went on a week day. It makes it the Fair tolerable. The weekend is just too crowded. Any way my indulgence this year was deep fried Chips Ahoy good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not had one myself, but people say it tastes like pancakes and syrup with a side of bacon. Not so sure about a burger with a doughnut though!?!

Members UstadKhanAli Posted October 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2011 That sounds like it could be good. Bacon sometimes goes well with sweet things. I see I did a nice typo there..."slides of pears". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
