Krispy Kreme Burger, Pickle Pizza Among New Foods at This Year’s Central Washington State Fair

There are several reasons to visit the Central Washington State Fair in Yakima every year. To some, it's the rides. Others may enjoy the 4-H stuff or exhibits. To a lot, it's all about the concerts but if you're like me, it's all about the food. Oh food, glorious, fair food. We were able to grab a sneak peek at just some of the fair food items this year. Here's what we saw.

One of the new items that seemed to be a huge hit were the Krispy Kreme Burgers. In lieu of a bun, they have doughnuts. That's right.

Another huge hit was the pickle pizza. Believe it or not, it was actually very good.

Along with these, all of your other fair food favorites are coming back. Teriyaki chicken noodle bowls, deep fried twinkies, deep fried oreos, churros, all the cotton candy you can manage and so much more. What a fun treat!

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
