The CNE has arrived and my stretch pants are ready! ! This year there’s another incredible line up of food at the CNE. and I was all too happy to snap a few photos and taste a few items as well.
Here’s just a few examples of what you can expect to indulge in!
- Bacon Nation has created a Canada 150 inspired ALL Canadian Red Hot Burger. (Location: Food Building)
- The King of Curds will be serving deep fried cheese curds sprinkled with icing sugar and served with pure Canadian Maple Syrup. YUM. YUM and more YUM. (Location: Midway)
- This photo says it all (location: Food Building)
- Tim Hortons as always,introduced some tasty Canadian-themed treats.
- Yatai (a sister project of Kanpai snack bar) has created this pretty epic fried chicken burger that’s in between fried ramen (instead of a bun) along with two kinds of kewpie mayo. Loved it and you will too!
6. Pizza Nova has introduced a Pizza made with Carbone Dough. Basically this is their traditional dough infused with activated charcoal and I regret not tasting it!!
7. The Lisa Marie food truck will be serving an enormous double lobster patty burger. Seriously this burger was bigger than my hand. 
- You can also find this deep fried goodness at this years CNE.
Seriously there’s no end to interesting food at the CNE: Deep Fried Chicken Feet, Cricket Cones, Peanut Butter Sriracha Bites, Spaghetti Donut Balls, and more!
There’s also the Midway and I couldn’t resist playing one of my all time favourite games….
