Normally I start with the pictures and then move into the descriptions but I feel like on this occasion I will be better served by immediate descriptions and an initial review.

I was a little shocked when she stopped at the French Meadow building. It's not a place I would normally stop or expect her to. Turns out she heard that they were doing "Earth Wings" and we just happened to trip over it first. Fresh cauliflower…

I was a little shocked when she stopped at the French Meadow building. It's not a place I would normally stop or expect her to. Turns out she heard that they were doing "Earth Wings" and we just happened to trip over it first. Fresh cauliflower pieces dipped in a seasoned batter, deep-fried and smothered in organic sesame BBQ sauce. Vegan and gluten-free. The sauce was good but I wanted them to be more crispy

Corn Roast. The poor girl was standing there holding this gloriously caramelized (apparently everyone else thought it was burnt) corn and I happily freed her from the burden.

TURDUCKEN SAUSAGE They call it a blend of turkey, duck and chicken served on a fennel bun and accompanied by a side of Giggles’ sweet and saucy relish.

Beef kabob at Mickey's Grill and Kabobs is located behind the giant slide and across from the Agricultural building. She noticed it after getting some fries and on our way to the skyride. It sat in the back of her mind for the rest of the evening and, after catching some music, was our last stop of the day.
