Many people deem Tuesday as the worst day of the week…and understandably so. The fun you had over the weekend has started to fade into a distant memory and the week is still soooo far from being over. But for me, Tuesdays are definitely my favorite day of the week here at the San Diego County Fair. Why, you may ask? Because every Tuesday is Taste of the Fair day – you can peruse the Fair’s plethora of food booths and indulge upon sample size portions of your favorite and crazy fair food for only $2 each. I mean if this isn’t a fairgoer’s paradise, I don’t know what is!
Over the course of the last two weeks, myself and the four other equally hungry marketing interns have succeeded in eating our way through the Fair’s Avenue, Concourse, Infield and Plaza de Mexico. We may be skinny, but man can we eat (and for this we thank our young and rampant metabolisms…heaven forbid if they ever slow down!) At any moment of any day you can find one of us coaxing the others to head out into the chaos to “taste-test” a new fair delicacy. At this point our eating has gone way beyond tasting; we have almost eaten the whole dang Fairgrounds.
Some of the delectable sample sized food portions include half of a giant pretzel, a mini meatball sub, half a mile-long hot dog, and mini churros, just to name a few. There are over 50 different food booths that offer this deal to fairgoers, so for all the people who visit the Fair for its food, this is the perfect way to try everything you may be craving without breaking the bank. My personal $2 favorites have been the half a cinnamon roll covered in cream cheese frosting and walnuts (seriously delicious) and the taste of cheesecake rolled in Oreo cookie crumbles. The portions are good sized and I always leave feeling fully satisfied. So if you are like me and love to eat, you have just found a new reason to start loving Tuesdays.
Help shake off the post-weekend blues and come on out and sample all the tasty treats here at the Fair, every Tuesday for only $2!
