Our tent outside the Taste of Ohio
Some people ask us at the fair how we make our pork loin taste so absolutely delectable! Trust me when I say we do nothing special with it. We do use one of these:
Our Smokers
They are our smokers. They give the pork a slight pinkish tint, which is good. Most people want their steaks with a little pink in the center and pork is no different. This is easily achievable on your grill at home. Just grill a pork loin until it gets to around 145-150 degrees and take it off the grill. Don’t worry about getting to that 165 degrees, the pork will continue to cook after you take it off. Let it sit for about 10 minutes so that your pork is really juicy and cut and serve! It’s all in the cooking temperature to get something that looks like this.

Trust me when I say we are doing nothing special. Okay except for maybe this picture!
You can find these shirts on Facebook under Ohio Hog Farmers!
What can I say… you got to have a little bit of fun!

No, not this type of pig wing…

How about this type….

This little baby comes from around the ham bone and the meat is in fact made of ham. Pig wings became a very popular fair food at the Ohio State Fair this year (stand back deep-fried Twinkies). They were on the radio, television, and were photographed more than Brittany Spears on vacation! It may look completely innocent but when pig wing and its fellow pig wingers (I just made that word up) were gone they caused exasperation, jealousy, and even anger. All for a piece of ham!
I had my share of the pig wings during the fair and I can understand the excitement. They proved to be juicy and delicious each time with or without the barbecue sauce, with or without the use of utensils, and without or without trying to eat it all in one bite… not that I would know.
What’s your favorite fair food?
