Oh sure you can go with a traditional corn dog or cotton candy. There will probably be gator bites and pizza.

This year the fair runs Thursday, February 9 through February 20 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.

  French fries topped with cheese, corn, spices, a cilantro lime crema, corn chips and your choice of shrimp or steak.
