The Pronto Pup, a corn dog made with flour instead of corn, is a perfect fair food from a more civilized age and I won’t grade it because it exists outside ranked judgement. Wonderful.

It’s so much better than a corndog. I mean, the sign says it all. “It’s a banquet on a stick!” A BANQUET.

The Fawaffle from Baba’s was an item that got a lot of attention when it was announced and it lives up to all of the hype. Absolutely wonderful, and is really helped by the best tomatoes I’ve had in Minnesota this year. A+

Is that a scoop of butter in the middle?

It’s too bad that the Fawaffle is so good because the Dill Pickle Hummus, also at Baba’s, was probably my second favorite thing at the fair this year. Tastes as good as you’d think it would. A

Can you discuss Pronto Pup (flour) versus corn dog (corn)? It's one of those huge rivalries I was late to because I love both almost interchangeably.
