Deep Fried Alligator’s Egg Nest: No that’s not a typo there will be alligator at the Fair! Straight from the Louisiana Bayou this delicious snack is sure to tingle your taste buds! This Cajun experience blends rich alligator meat with Monterey Jack cheese, chopped jalapeños, onions and garlic. This flavorful mixture is then rolled in bread crumbs and deep fried to the perfect golden brown. You’ll find it served atop a “nest” of shoestring French fries and drizzled with a chipotle sauce. Make sure you don’t miss out on this flavorful creation!
