Funnel Cake
You can spot a funnel cake stand before you see it. The smell drifts across the midway and suddenly everyone's making a detour.
Funnel cake is the unofficial mascot of county fair food. It's crispy, soft, sugary, and somehow large enough to feed three people while still disappearing in minutes. Every fair has one. Every fair-goer has a funnel cake memory.
Its biggest rivals are Elephant Ear and Fried Oreos. All three compete for dessert supremacy, but funnel cake often wins because it feels like the center of the entire fair experience.
The powdered sugar ends up on your shirt. Your fingers become sticky. You don't care.
If county fairs had an official food ambassador, would anything beat funnel cake?
