I’m back from the 2010 Ohio State Fair! It was a crazy twelve days of selling, promoting, and celebrating pork production in Ohio. I spent most of the time in the Taste of Ohio in the Pork Stand selling BBQ pulled pork, pig wings, and the best pork loin sandwich your taste buds will ever experience!
My Home Away From Home!
There you go! That’s a picture of our pork stand! (I could never catch someone dropping our plastic knives in front of the stand. I just wanted to show them the trash can 10 feet behind them!!) Can’t you just feel the excitement and enthusiasm from the opportunity to provide the world with delicious pork!
The cashiers and I recorded the most asked questions from the fair this year.
What are pig wings?
One of the cashiers recorded the amount of times she got asked this question and it resulted in about 30 in one day. This also happened to be the slowest day at the fair. I’ll be sharing with you the inside scoop of the pig wings later.
Where can we buy that shirt?
We were all wearing some pretty sweet shirts. Again, something I’ll be sharing later!
How did you cook the pork loin sandwich to make it so delicious?
Another question I’ll be answering but trust me it’s all in the temperature!
Can I have a cheeseburger?
I think the giant word ‘Pork’ on the banner should have been a little hint to the answer to that question…
More to come!

Hello! I’m Bethany and I’m an intern for the Ohio Pork Producers Council. I, along with others at the Ohio Pork Producers Council and the Indiana Pork Producer Association, are going to add our two cents to this wonderful blog. It’s time to get excited!
You may have some questions about what to expect such as what kind of recipes are going to be on the blog, will you talk about anything besides food, and what’s a pork butt. Well, I have all those answers.
What kind of recipes will now be on the blog?
Anything with pork of course! Since I can only contact my culinary genius, my mom, by phone since I left the nest, I believe in keeping my recipes easy and made from simple ingredients that are easy to find. Unfortunately for you, I am going to take you on this journey with me as I try to feed myself and my roommate. Other recipes will come from a variety of people with a variety of perspectives, so I hope you find something that helps you create a wonderful eating experience no matter what your level of experience.
Will you talk about anything besides food?
Well, personally I like food… I’m planning on eating it for the rest of my life. However, I understand that not everyone is as obsessed with the smell of bacon and the next meal as yours truly. So we are still planning to include updates on festivals, weird pork paraphernalia, and giveaways.
What’s a pork butt?
The answer is here!
Let me know if there is something you would like to see! I’ll be talking to you soon!
