Before we had gotten dinner I told Cheryl I’d be wanting some more Fried Pepsi. The Fried Soda stand is ran by Porky’s. You place your order were you would purchase fries at Porky’s. Then you head back to the left to tell the cook what you would like deep fried. On Tuesday other than just powdered sugar they were offering whipped cream as a topping along with the fried soda. I chose to have it the way I had previously with the powdered sugar only. The cook was a younger guy not the same person as the time before. That person was a bit older. Our Pepsi frying cooks were very friendly both times. The young guy actually popped out back while we ate our desert asking other employees if they had a lighter so he could go have a smoke break.
All in all our Porky’s adventure was worthwhile. I’d go back to eat their food again. I can’t say that for all the food vendors at the Illinois State Fair. Since we normally come into the fair through one of the back gates it’s a journey to get up to the front of the fairgrounds to eat at Porky’s. But Gate 2 is a large main entrance so others won’t have our issue.
One last thing. Most people I know when they see a sign that says spiral fries think of what we consider curly fries around here. As far as I could tell curly fries aren’t on the Porky’s menu. Although the fries we had were good. And trust me on this = there is a vendor with a bunch of green trim food trailers by Food-O-Rama who can give you some of the nastiest fries you will ever eat. The fries from Porky’s were quality the day we ate there.
