The Deep-Fried Bacon Brisket Mac-n-Cheese Grilled Cheese, a new food from What’s Your Cheez, took top honors in the 2023 People’s Choice Best New Food Contest. The Grinder Ball from The Bacon Box and Iowa Twinkie from Whatcha Smokin’ BBQ & Brew were also in the competition.
Deep-Fried Bacon Brisket Mac-n-Cheese Grilled Cheese – What’s Your Cheez
The Rib Shack’s signature Bacon Brisket Mac and Cheese is slathered between layers of American cheese and two slices of What’s Your Cheez Bacon Cheddar Bread. It is then deep-fried until golden brown and served with a signature raspberry chipotle BBQ sauce.
Iowa Twinkie – Whatcha Smokin’ BBQ & Brew
“A Texas staple with an Iowa twist.” A smoked bacon-wrapped jalapeno stuffed with pulled pork, sweet corn, cream cheese and ranch seasoning. It is then glazed with Whatcha Smokin’ BBQ & Brew house-made Sweet + Sticky BBQ sauce and drizzled with house-made ranch dressing.
Grinder Ball – The Bacon Box
The Grinder Ball is a blend of bacon balls stuffed with mozzarella cheese, wrapped in bacon, rotisserie smoked and dipped in warm marinara sauce. The Grinder Ball is The Bacon Box’s new signature gluten-free take on the traditional State Fair Grinder.
Sweet, salty, savory, strange, tasty, on-a-stick, on a plate, in a bowl, there were 64 new foods to try at the 2023 Iowa State Fair.
