You hear about new Minnesota State Fair foods and classic Fair fare, but what is a bit off the beaten path and worth the cash? I asked Twin Cities Live Facebook fans for their suggestions and presented the top picks on KSTP-TV.
Australian Battered Potatoes
From Australian Potatoes, on Judson Avenue between Liggett and Clough near the Coliseum.
Battered and deep-fried sliced potatoes, topped with your choice of cheese, ranch, spicy chipotle sauce, sweet chili sour cream and bacon.
You won’t want to eat more than a couple potatoes, so you’ll want to split an order with a few people.
Cheese On-a-Stick
3 locations on the Fairgrounds, including next to the Carrousel.
Melted Swiss cheese, deep-fried and on-a-stick.
Also available with pepper jack cheese.
The booths have different owners, and they use different batters.
London Broil
From Butcher Boys London Broil, on Dan Patch just east of the Grandstand.
Sliced steak served on a hoagie bun with cheese sauce and banana peppers.

Onion Rings
From Danielson’s & Daughters, located outside the south side of the Food Building.
Thin onion rings are deep-fried, making them not too heavy and not too potent.
Fried Ravioli
From Vescio’s, located in front of the Grandstand.
Available in sausage, beef, cheese and jalapeno, spinach and artichoke, and cheese flavors.
Vescio’s has been at the State Fair since 1974.
