I mean, Brueggers has this sandwich as one of their standing menu items, so once again, this new place isn't exactly offering up "only at the Fair!" kind of food. <br /><br /><i>there was a name change due to *ahem* swindler being a slur. Let's all try to not name our foods after ethnic slurs, people. It's not too much to ask, we think</i><br /><br />For that matter, one of the earlier items listed as one of its ingredients Kaffir Limes, which is technically a slur (Kaffir), even if it's commonly used in the food world. <br /><br /><i>The difference between the Blue Barn and LuLu’s is…I don’t know, they play out pretty much the same.</i><br /><br />Which is the one closer to the entrance, and which is the two story one closer to the stages? <br /><br />Because everything I've had from the further back two-story one has been garbage, while I've mostly enjoyed everything from the other one (especially the bleu cheese corn fritters, which have become an every year thing for me). <br /><br />Both are, indeed, way overpriced, of course. <br /><br /><i>Things in this that I don’t like...Pickled red onion</i><br /><br />We started pickling red onions ourselves this summer (it's super easy), so I've been eating them on damn near everything lately. Possibly even cereal. :) <br /><br />Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.com
