Taste of Utah Brings Local Foods to the Utah State Fair

The Utah State Fair, going on now until Sunday, Sept. 18, offers a lot of the weird and exotic foods state fairs are known for, such as fried butter, python on a stick, and grilled maggot and cheese sandwiches (I'm not kidding). It also presents fair goers with lots of opportunities to try foods with origins a little closer to home.
The Taste of Utah tent at the Utah State Fair, presented by Utah's Own, will offer samples from more than 50 local food companies producing breads, snacks, sweets, beverages, ice cream, meat, poultry and a lot more, Tuesday, Sept. 13, from noon to 8 p.m. Admission to the Taste of Utah tent is included with your fair ticket.
Some of my favorite Utah food companies will be there, including Fat Boys and Creamies ice cream, Beehive Cheese, Rico's Mexican foods, and Apple Beer. So will a few newcomers and companies whose products I've been meaning to try. Click on the link below for a map showing all the vendors who will be on hand, and come out Tuesday to sample a Taste of Utah.
