Fried What? is located right by the fair's main entrance and has all your fried needs. It's a family-owned business and they said this year's popular items were the fried Oreos and fried pickles. 

Todd Burton, one of the owners, said at other fairs people usually leave after the concerts. But in the Quad Cities, they are leaving the grandstand hungry and ready to eat.

Just down from Fried What? fairgoers are able to get giant turkey legs at Steve's Meat Shop. One of the workers, Mike Fowler, was busy getting them grilled up for people.

You've heard of mac and cheese with bacon, but what if it's put in a waffle cone? News 8 spoke with Connie and Hallie at the Bacon Barn and found out about their Bacon Mac with Waffle Cone option. And the name tells you everything you need to know about other items on the menu. It's a bacon lover's dream.
