Delicious or disgusting? You be the judge.
A recent after-hours work meeting made a drastic turn toward the merits of fair food. Sure, we’re all familiar with these waistline-expanding treats (deep-fried Twinkies, Snickers and Oreos, anyone?). But my pal Matt mentioned one such concoction the likes of which I have never seen: the Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich. It comprises a fried chicken patty topped with Swiss cheese and nestled between a “bun” made out of a sliced Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut. As if that’s not enough, it then is served with a side of Smucker’s honey. Even Matt, whose fondness of Taco Bell shows that he’s able to eat just about anything, did not care for the sandwich … and I’d have to agree that it sounds pretty disgusting. However, I am always impressed by the ingenuity of fair food and applaud the creativity behind the Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich. Keep the new fair fare coming!

Based on my extensive knowledge of fair foods, thanks to Unwrapped on the Food Network, I can tell you that successful, normally delicious fair foods are born of neccessity. (For instance, the ice cream cone was created when an ice cream vendor ran out of cups at a fair in St. Louis.) I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how slapping together two donuts with a ckicken patty is a solution to anything. Even hunger! Big ups to Matt for trying something new, but let’s try to learn from his lesson. Chicken + donut = does not compute.

I thought the flavors would combine to create one uber-snack, but the reality was that it tasted like someone put a chicken breast on a donut. Disappointing to say the least, but luckily I was able to wash it down with a yard long margarita and the intoxicating sound of Weird Al piercing through the 110 degree heat.

So to add to the “interesting/disgusting fried food” debate, take a look at what they’re serving up on Snack Street in Beijing.
