With just over three weeks remaining until the State Fair opens, it's time to look at the new food items to be offered at stands and restaurants throughout the fairgrounds.

And in some cases, that's all we'll do. Look.

Last year, the Tornado Potato was new: an entire potato, cut into a spiral, flash fried and put on a stick. This year they're dipping it in chocolate. Really. Sonny's Spiral Spud, inside the Food Building.

The Fudge Puppy has become a fair favorite. It's a rolled Belgian waffle on a stick, baked, dipped in chocolate, and topped with whipped cream and sprinkles, strawberries, or M&Ms. This year, they're adding Caramel Apple and Turtle options. Fudge Puppies, outside west wall of the Food Building.

Other options:

St. Paul's O'Gara's Bar and Grill expands its fair offerings with a Danny Boy Burger — burger made with corned beef and covered with kraut, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing — and an Irish Breakfast (scrambled eggs smothered in Irish Stew served in a bread bowl).
