Doughnut Burger, Fried Butter, New Foods at State Fairs

The Hoosier family behind last year's chocolate-covered bacon at the Indiana State Fair is at it again.
Their newest offering? A burger served between two Krispy Kremes, known simply as the doughnut burger.
Veteran concessionaire Dennis Reas said that if his family wants to survive selling novelty fair food, he must think of new products every year to keep the customers coming back.
And it seems to be working - even if the $6.50 burger and another new offering, deep-fried butter, produced almost as many questions as orders from the first customers of the 17-day fair.
Visitors can sample a hog's trough of oddball fair foods: deep-fried sushi, deep-fried dill pickles, deep-fried candy bars, chocolate-covered popcorn balls, root-beer marinated ribs and the garbage burger - a pork patty covered with pulled pork on a bun. But it was the deep-fried butter and doughnut burgers that drew the customers and the "just curious."
