* Last year, I ran into US Sen. Mark Kirk after the State Fair Twilight Parade. We chatted for a while and then he offered to buy me some chocolate covered bacon. I said I had enough problems in my life without eating that stuff, so he excused himself and went ahead and bought the delicacy.
I’m wondering if he still thinks that was such a great idea. (Like I can talk.)
* I was taking a look at the SJ-R’s State Fair section and found some odd foods…
* Fried Peanut Butter and Jelly on a Stick
* The Question: Name a new State Fair delicacy after the Illinois leader(s) of your choice. Offer a description if possible.
Have fun.

Are those foods only made in Illinois you listed above or are they just interesting foods that vendors from random parts of the country are showing up to sell?

Pat Quinn Never-Ending Pasta Salad … when you think its done, it keeps going and going and going …
Speaker Madigan’s Fried Chicken - It’s a recipe … you can’t refuse.
Tom Cross’ Wheatgrass Smoothies - You play 18 holes on the Wheatgrass, then make yourself a smoothie with your final divot on 18.
John Cullerton’s Vendor Map - Yeah, its not a “food”, but if you are a food President Cullerton doesn’t like, he will draw you right out of State Fair.
Radogno’s Mystery on a Stick - No one knows exactly what it is, why this food is there, what this food does, or how it might impact you … kinda like … well, you get the hint.

Jason Plummer “Kiddie Meal” - Comes with…
PB & J with the crust cut off,
Southern Illinois Baked Beans and
A Wedge of Chocolate-Chocolate Cake and
A Ski Black Cherry soda from Breeze, IL, to wash it down.
A log Cabin toy with a “RP Lumber” stamp on roof is the toy.

Pat Quinn’s Deep Fried Brain
A delicious coating of batter surrounding nothing, deep fried to a crackly crunch. Served with a dip sauce of unicorn, shiny objects and squirrel.

Chick-fil-Adam Andrzejewski because two As are better than one. And it’s only 15% of your daily recommended calorie intake.

Jesse Jackson Jr’s “unexplained bites of mystery”
Comment by Jake From Elwood Friday, Aug 10, 12 @ 3:27 pm
–Jesse Jackson Jr’s “unexplained bites of mystery”–
What’s the mystery. He’s under doctorss care for depression and gastrointestinal problems likely related to his previous surgery.
I’m not a fan of his, but he doesn’t deserve the ridicule being heaped upon him by deep thinkers like Kass. There’s no conceivable benefit he gets from checking himself into the hospital. If DOJ or the Ethics Committee are going to do something, they’ll do it.

Pat Quinn’s downstate dessert. No that’s not a Baby Ruth bar. AFSCME members can wash it down with a 32 ounce non-COLA.
