Awhile back some of us were talking about some crazy carnival foods. Well, the CNE starts today and here are some of the new eats for this season…
Yes, those are bugs on top of this Bug Bistro hot dog (honey-mustard-flavoured crickets, to be exact, with extra cricket powder inside the dog itself).
‘Critter fritter’ spring rolls come stuffed with mealworm-laced veggies, with a spicy-sweet sauce on the side.
Corrado’s Threesome Burger is a sloppy pile-on of Greek, Italian and Canadian ingredients. On a signature ground beef meatball patty made by local meat producer Pavao to match Pecorella’s homestyle recipe, he’s piling house-cut Greek fries, Canadian mac and cheese with ketchup, coleslaw and bacon.
This year’s calorie-bomb entree at the Fran’s CNE booth: a deep-fried meatloaf sandwich topped with bacon and chips.
This year, Fran’s pie shakes, a CNE staple, are bigger and more elaborately garnished than ever. They come crowned with their own mini-pie slices, plus cotton candy, Smarties and sprinkles, all grouted on with an extra-dense whipped cream Fran’s makes in-house. You know, in case you’d rather drink your calories.

This one I really want…
Deep fried cookie dough balls
All bacon taco from Bacon Nation…no tortilla required.
Philly steakclair…sweet and savoury combined! Made with cream puff eclair, whipped cream & steak
A twist on traditional cinnamon rolls from Howie’s Cinnamon Rolls with pulled pork, bacon and a whole hog!
And of course there are still plenty of other things to chow down on…deep fried butter balls, deep fried kool-aid, deep fried chocolate covered bacon…if it can be done, it’s deep fried here.
