I Tried Eating Everything At The Minnesota State Fair

Scott, I realized during this video that one of the reasons I love your work so much is that it reminds me of the best of PBS programming. It's so genuine, a little quirky, and feels like we get to join you on an adventure like we're a friend (not parasocially!). Thank you being you, you are so awesome. Be well!

This faire is unfortunately BYOR(anch), but I think the food is slightly cheaper overall than what you mentioned for your state fair!

As a Funnel Cake connoisseur, the first mistake was getting a plain one. You absolutely have to get it with fruits (strawberries to be exact), powdered sugar, whipped cream & ice cream (optional; but a must try at least once). & it has to be fresh! What’s a State Fair without a good Funnel Cake?!

Those cookies are the best. I buy them every time I go to the fair along with mini donuts.

[@ilovehunny]

Thank you for reviewing our product, the freshly cooked-to-order funnel cake! A bit of background, my father built that trailer by hand. He has built and worked on many trailers of other vendors as well. My mother designed the art. The funnel cakes and elephant ears recipes are my grandmother's, tweaked and perfected over many years. I take a break from my regular job as an ER pharmacist (and so does my sister as an ER nurse) to help in MN every year. We have always served our food to order and regularly toss or give away product that we don't see fit to serve (i.e. too small or a bit too overcooked, etc.). I can assure anyone who visits us is receiving the freshest, most cared for, high quality product, backed by years and years of dedication and experience. It is such a joy serving everyone who visits and watching people enjoy what we've worked so hard to perfect. Thank you, again, for visiting the fair and for purchasing our product. If you try again, I recommend adding some homemade cream cheese glaze and/or strawberry! Cheers.

[@cdplayerjunkie]

I was going to say funnel cake without toppings is weird

[@northstarjakobs]

I had your funnel cake with my mom and best friend at the fair this year and it was a highlight. The cream cheese glaze was a perfect addition imo

[@mgratk]

I'm shocked they didn't ever have a funnel cake before. I think Scott's taste buds are broken anyway, he said turkey leg tastes like ham. Sounds like a great family business you have!

[@truesoprano2152]

[@zacharybenson6195]

For MN State Fair, I suggest adding 3 categories: Scandinavian, immigrant/refugee food, & bizarre food. (Bonus category: wild rice dishes if not broke.) Real examples: Swedish lingonberry ice cream, Somali sambusas (a dumpling pocket w spicy beef inside), & alligator sausage on a stick (props for trying it) + (bonus category) bison meatballs on wild rice (even had an option of fried crickets on top to add a bizarre criteria).

This is one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time. Scott's Brother: I don't know if I've ever raw dogged cheese curds before. Scott: It's actually pretty dang good. Scott's Brother: It is. *A. VERY. LONG. PAUSE.* Scott: Also, what did you say?

For all the Strugglrs out there: Pronto Pups and Corn Dogs are different, and they sell both at the fair. The Pronto Pup batter uses less sugar to make it taste more savory. And from what I know, you can mostly only get Pronto Pups at the State Fair! It's my favorite treat to get.

Pronto is pancake batter, Corn Dog is corn meal batter.

10:35 ppl are surprised when they find out the reason it's called funnel cake is because it is made using a funnel 😂 that's why it looks like that

[@komi-sanmustbeprotected5665]

Reason the funnel cake might of had a "chemically taste" was if they used silicon while baking it, sometimes the mould or nozzles used for them can give it a weird after taste if the equipment is new and hasn't been cleaned properly

Ive actually had alligator before; when I was younger and my family visited my grandparents in Florida my gramps would take us to this restaurant that you could get to by car or boat. They sold “gator bites”, so you picturing it to come in bite-sized type pieces was pretty accurate. The first few years that I went and had some it did taste like chicken and it was pretty good, which is why I continued ordering them each year. But as the years went on it started getting fishier and more rubbery. I guess it really just depends on how it’s made and I guess the actual quality of the alligator itself; that is at least what we thought happened. The alligator sausage does look and sound really weird though, I’m sure some of the other products they had tasted better

[@unFILMEDtv]

Yeah, breaded and fried bites like popcorn chicken. Also, I like you remember alligator being not very fishy at all and now it tastes very fishy to me.

Many adventurers and many many good memories, mostly in the woods building the fort of that summer. I found your channel just after having my first child and stayed around. About a year and a half now. Always makes me reflect when you upload on where my life is currently. He was a few months old when I found you on recommended and a tired mom was very interested in your video on pillows and getting some more comfortable sleep. You’re now responsible for my entire bed set excluding the frame. My mother passed the day our son came home. Most of our MN family has grandkids they’re chasing in other states or have too passed. I can’t see myself having another organic opportunity to visit this glorious state fair and get deep fried twinkies. and gawk and the spaghetti on a stick. I got to remember a lot of good times watching this. And it makes me think I’ll have to take both my kids to Minnesota regardless of not having people there to visit anymore.

As a minnesotan I gotta scooch on in. For root beer you have to go for the 1919 root beer, it comes from a brewery in Minnesota. The sweet corn icecream from blue moon is incredible. Hummus from babas is some of the best I've had. And highlight for me this year was the new paella vendor, hoping they stick around!

Took inspiration from this video and me and my bf went to our district fair and got about 5-7 items we’ve never tried before from different food trucks and spent a few hours just walking around, eating a snack, finding a different thing to try. It was such a great, relaxing (and filling) day-date! Even got roasted corn for the first time and it was FANTASTIC!👍

Thank you for this Scott. This was the first year in maybe my whole life I didn’t go to the state fair. So genuinely, thank you for letting me live vicariously through you.

So happy I found your channel. When I watched one of your videos for the first time (video of DW cursing) I thought to myself, why do I feel a kinship to this gentleman. Then I realized you’re midwestern and it all made sense. Awesome content and wholesome as heck. Keep it up!

3:22 Scott got serious, had a game plan AND categories? I mean of course he did. It’s Scott. 😂

Love the video, in defense of our cheese curds, the best cheese curds at the Minnesota State fair are found at mouth trap in the food building.

I cannot believe Scott has played the most hours of fair games of any non-fair employee person alive, but he's never had a funnel cake before and didn't even know what they looked like 😭 Edit, just got to the part where he said no one likes eating cotton candy... nooo I love eating cotton candy!! Honestly the mouth feel of it is better to me than the taste. I'd rather eat completely unflavored cotton candy than a lot of other fair foods tbh

Louisiana native chiming in: wtf was that?? What you got was NOT fried alligator lol

[@NekoStar]

@@beans4706 yeah, fried gator looks like fried (boneless) chicken (and tastes like it too lol) Wish they got the real exp. :/

[@Bakeden]

I know you specifically called out the endless milk bar. But that thing was made to go with those cookies. Shame it's gotten so expensive though. I remember going to the fair with my family, getting a bucket of cookies and just walking around drinking milk and eating cookies, having a competition to see who could get the most milk refills... good times.

you’re so right about the direction of comedians. for whatever reason crowd work does really well in tiktok/shorts/reel form. there’s some comedians who use it to show off their improving but takes so much practice and wit to be funny

[@StarSpangledShimmer]

When I need to restore my faith in humanity or just need a smile and laughs- I always watch Scott's content! :) ❤️

[@conradmurphy4239]

Scotch eggs with black coffee and a Guinness at Brit's Pub has been one of my favorite breakfasts ever. Doesn't matter who is playing, that breakfast makes it better

[@Jonkenstonk]

HELL YEAH MINNESOTA STATE FAIR THE BEST PLACE IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD

[@JWallis90]

I love this type of content. I find America a fascinating country. Hope to get to go the fair one day. Keep being such a great bloke Scott
