That Looks Good!: WCCO This Morning Team Ranks New Minnesota State Fair Foods

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Minnesota State Fair's list of "official" new foods is out for 2021: You can get sashimi tuna tacos, a jumbo donut sundae, a vegan "chorizo" corn dog, and deep fried pork rind nachos topped with prime rib. The whole list is here.

1. Fried Chicken Kati Roll at Hot Indian: Finally Hot Indian Foods has its own spot in the Food Building! Can't wait for fried Indian-spiced chicken!

2. RC's BBQ Naughty Biscuit: Some of the best barbeque in the state - pork belly topped with beer cheese sauce on a biscuit? No-brainer.

3. Bison Bites at Giggles: Deep fried ravioli filled with a fennel/mushroom/bison mix sounds like savory, sharable goodness.

Heather Brown

1. Esquites at Los Ocampo: It's not a fair without corn, and I love elote.

2. Bahn Minn Bun at Sausage Sister & Me: Baguette, sausage and Bahn mi flavors – all around win.

3. S'mores Funnel Cake at Funnel Cakes: Deliciously rich without the real heavy deep-fry feel.

Christiane Cordero

Hot Indian Kerala Fried Chicken: Love the fried chicken trend and the mix of flavors sound amazing.

Farmer's Union Cucumber Jalapeño Limeade: Are food + drink pairings a thing? If so, this and the Farmers Union's BLT are the match.

Hot Indian Paneer Pakora: Cheese curds, but make it fashion.
