We were so hesitant to eat it…and for good reason 🫢

[@ColleenMcGuireStPaul]

Thank you for filming in front of the locations and giving viewers your proximity for a nice visual aid! It's always hard to figure out where all of the new foods are, but this is a great road map. How's your tummy? 😉

[@BentLeey]

Thank you!! We definitely try to give you all the information!

[@bobprock4960]

The fair can be overwhelming, you guys did a great job of finding what's new because it's so easy to just keep going back to the same places year after year. Thanks gys!

[@BentLeey]

Thank you! It’s definitely an adventure doing this for y’all but we wouldn’t have it any other way!

[@jparreno]

This was my first fair after going gluten free. I hit up Auntie M’s gluten free truck for a corn dog and cheese curds! I love watching other people eat what I can’t!

[@BentLeey]

Auntie M’s is a great option for gluten free peeps😊

[@klobb100]

Me too for that last part hahaha

[@BEETHMODE84]

No doubt peachy’s donuts are unmatched.

[@BentLeey]

Wouldn’t be fair to Krispy Kreme if we compared the 2. We dream of Peachy’s donuts!

[@Zanrok]

That's a lot of food. That cookie dough pie looks delicious! Thx for the vid

[@BentLeey]

You bet! Thanks for watching!

[@KitKat-hn5gd]

Thnx for making this video special the list.. We will go nextweekend sunday

[@Aurora-ev7yg]

I was just there yesterday

[@loveytherescuedog5329]

New subscriber. MN native ... live in the south now. Miss the lakes, the fair and the peeps! Great video.

[@BentLeey]

Hello! We agree! Hopefully you make it to the fair sometime! Ben is from North Carolina as well!

[@alyssatheexcellent]

I go to the MN State Fair every year (minus covid- but I did the drive thru the first year!! TBH it was WAY too much fried food to get in 30 minutes. And if people like fried food- once it gets cold it’s not very good anymore) I’m looking forward to see what you like in this New Year!

[@BentLeey]

Thank you for watching!

[@walkingminnesota]

Great video! My favorite so far is the Irish butter ice cream. Reminded me of the brown butter donut from bogarts. Cant wait to try the Irish donut next week 🤤 Thanks Ben and Lee!

[@BentLeey]

Ouu that’s a good one!

[@larrysweeney12large]

Liked your video last year, been looking forward to this years, Thanks

[@BentLeey]

Thank you! Your support is everything ✨

[@kellyschultz6006]

Nordic waffle dog is SO good! Can’t wait to try the Amish doughnuts when we go back to the fair tomorrow!

[@BentLeey]

How were those Amish Donuts for yah??

[@DavenXio]

Let’s go! Been waiting for this!

[@BentLeey]

We got you!

[@MelyndaVang2023]

I watch your MN State Fair video every year and I just LOVE it. I love how you guys go through all of the items and really showcase the food. With all the ENERGY of your yourth, you guys come through for me. I totally enjoy it. Keep them coming year after year. I look forward to this video. I"m a creature of habit. I love the boring Bratwurst from the Bratwurst little food truck. and I have to have my roasted corn fix. I had the tasti whip in mango pineapple, it was really refreshing. I would have loved the fried green tomato BLT bc I Love BLT....I didn't like the ribs, they were too sweet as you said....I would have preferred more savory. Those Samosas also looked very tempting but I didn't even make it tha far. I had a great time...hope to see your next video next year!

[@BentLeey]

Aww! Thank you so much for your support. We truly appreciate you! We’re glad you got to enjoy some food items. We had to go back twice to eat everything we wanted this year haha

[@baobaivue9913]

Great video! Wish i wouldve gone with ya! We just had basic turkey legs and corndog lol

[@BentLeey]

We can always use more help eating! Haha

[@user-gu6vo4vx1e]

Great video! I tried the Lutefisk buns and had the same reaction, not good. Those chicken momos were so good but only there until the 29th. Now I might try that balboa thingy that sounded good. Thanks!

[@BentLeey]

We can agree on all that! Lol thank you for watching and go get your balboa!

[@linda9143]

So many sweets!!!

[@BentLeey]

We agree! The list this year was heavily sweets!

[@fattkamper1]

Not gonna make it out there this year, thanks for sharing the new foods!

[@BentLeey]

Of course! We got y’all always!

[@asthaneupane5482]

That chicken momo looks soooo yummy!!

[@user-gu6vo4vx1e]

They were only there until the 29th. They were so tasty.

[@BentLeey]

YUMMY!

[@SteveEungLee-GoKarting]

Hey sister, you should pass your neck fan to my brother. Looks like he's dying out there lol.

[@BentLeey]

Hahaha I did! It’s just loud during filming so we tried not to use it when filming,

[@Pete-zq3dc]

Good video, but would love to see prices , and a running tally of how much you have spent throughout the day. That makes it a little more interesting for the viewers. Just a suggestion. Keep up the fun videos!

[@BentLeey]

Thank you!! We love positive feedback. Check back for prices of everything in our description.

[@chief3619]

I might have to go back this year. The only problem is, there’s so much you can’t possibly try it all. I got heartburn just watching this.

[@BentLeey]

Yes! Pick and choose the absolute MUST EATS! 🙏🏼🔥

[@leesweather9894]

Bring $934 ! Lol

[@RaeshmaByGrace]

I waited for this video before planning to go to the fair. 😄 Last year I watched your fair food video and it helped me so much. It’s overwhelming otherwise. Looking forward to this year’s food! Thanks so much! I want to try the donuts and pickle lemonade. 😋

[@BentLeey]

Aww thank you! We appreciate your support sm! We wouldn’t be able to do this without y’all.

[@bubblybubbles9052]

I added up the cost of each item and it totalled just under $13,000!!!!

[@keepit9762]

Bro you put away a lot of food 😂everything looked great

[@BentLeey]

Our stomach went through so many different emotions...hangry, happy, sick, depressed, and angry.

[@aliceatomshine2451]

We were there yesterday. The Amish donut was good but so rich! Like a thicker chewier Krispy Kreme.

[@BentLeey]

that chewy texture is 🙌

[@mutex5696]

for 2 people 500 dollars in food lol had 3 of us there this year had the pickle pizza soo amazing keeping this is my favorites for next year

[@BentLeey]

Our wallet's a bit light

[@firelord55]

I like the part where he says "Minnesota State Fair".

[@AussieAngeS]

I have a question.. what is a walleye? Never heard of it before. The good looks pretty awesome at that fair

[@BentLeey]

Walleye is a type of fish. Very good!

[@maritsaltrones4298]

Pickles!

[@BentLeey]

We didn’t get enough this year!

[@AngryMuffin]

Ever since I seen your MN taco video and yall gave a shoutout to AZ Taco our favorite taco place. I respect your content. Keep up the good work you two will make it.

[@BentLeey]

Thank you!!

[@andromedadillard4033]

The absolute no comment on the Lutefisk...... I'm over here rolling laughing.

[@BentLeey]

Lol glad we can do that for ya!

[@QUEEN1Elisa]

Sadly, I won’t be at the fair this year! 😢 Glad to see this video though!

[@BentLeey]

Aww! Hopefully things change and you can go at least one day!

[@natedawgmomtakeover9972]

Did you mean the CLT? As opposed to BLT? Cuz there def wasn’t any bacon in that vegetarian sammich 😂 you called it a BLC which is missing the main fried green tomato that’s clearly on there but it’s ok, I’m sure most of us got it 😅

[@kimyoung3042]

The boozy salted caramel milkshake was my favorite drink. And my foods were pork chop on a stick, Scottish egg and foot long corn dog!

[@BentLeey]

Thank you for sharing!

[@MelyndaVang2023]

Where did you find the scottish egg? I would love to try one. NO idea where that vendor is.

[@kimyoung3042]

The Scottish egg vendor was not far from the entrance where the park and ride busses dropped you off.

[@debilei1078]

This was AMAZING! Wow, Bentley!

[@BentLeey]

Awww thank you!!

[@ArtsyBanana101]

2:29 when i was there the line was going down the block And pickle pizza and the donuts almost connected at one point which are both VERY long lines

[@BentLeey]

Hahaha yes! Seems like everyone knows what’s good now!

[@ArtsyBanana101]

Yup! :)

[@pondaranks]

I got a connect in nyc for a hair toupee

[@brandenshank7253]

Enjoyed the video. I'd be curious how much money it costs to try all the new foods. I had 3 of them and it was $39.00.

[@BentLeey]

Lol we’re too afraid to add it all up

[@nachamu99]

Would’ve liked more of a review on some of the ones you didnt rate as a “must try.” It just switches to the next food. Overall, nice video. Really enjoy seeing all of the new foods every year!

[@BentLeey]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@bengtal]

KZbin labeled the Afro-Deli section as "Apple Deli" ! Great video though you guys! Lol I love how you didn't even say anything after trying the Lutefisk Bao... I guess its some kind of Chinese/Scandinavian fusion because I think Lutefisk is one of the weird Scandinavian forms of fish preparation (maybe either fermented or just pickled, I forget). Can you Crisp-walk?

[@BentLeey]

Didn't even catch that! We definitely wonder about lutefisk and all its.....wonders?

i went for the first time and couldn't find a thing also took me half an hour just to find an exit

Awesome they should do little donuts with bacon around it

[@BentLeey]

They did, but the donuts were...mushy.

[@angeleyes9541]

Love the look on your face when you tried the lutafisk bao buns. Hahahahaha. Too funny. I take it, they were not good? 😂 A do not try? 😂

[@BentLeey]

Haha unfortunately it wasn’t 🫤

[@angeleyes9541]

@BentLeey ok. It was adorable. I love watching your videos. By the way, lutafisk is a fish. I don't blame you for not liking it. I don't, either. To me, It's gross. My Mother made it at Christmas time, every year. Yuck. It's soaked in Lye, then soaked to remove the lye from it and cooked to whatever kind of opinionated concocktion people may or, in this case, may not eat. Some people love it. I have to say, you were very brave. Nicely done, my friend. Hope to see both your smiling faces out there sometime. ❤️👏👏

[@angeleyes9541]

Also, just FYI, I loved the pickle lemonade, but later found out that pickle juice is an excellent natual laxative. I will be ordering the small from now on. So sorry if that's TMI. 😂❤❤

Haha yes! We hope to see you there also!

[@montegomerylowe372]

what about luke fish

[@gavinpotter8642]

How much money did you spend???😂

[@my2love755]

My first new food was the rib and it was really good but for $13 I think they should of given us 5 or 6 bones instead of 4 only. 1 of my bone barely had meat on it so I was disappointed but otherwise it was good. 2nd new food was the birthday mini donuts which was good too, but for $10 they should give us more.

[@MelyndaVang2023]

They must have been running out bc I only got 3 bones so I bought 2 servings and regretted it since It was a bit too burnt and sweet for me.

[@BentLeey]

We thought a basket was plenty! Lol

[@walkingminnesota]

Lol at the lutefisk. You cut out the response but your face says it all. I got down one bite and had to toss the other three 🤢

[@BentLeey]

Lol yup. Gotta laugh this one out😂

[@bowzer00]

Idk how ppl can eat so much food in 1 day. I can't eat alot, so if i attempt to try majority of the food there i won't be able to bc my stomach will start to reject and hurt. I get full to fast
