LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Put on your eating pants and buckle up, because new, deliciously wacky food and drink options have been added to this year's Indiana State Fair menu.
The original cowpie, deep fried cheese on a stick or deep fried brownies seem to be the safer options. But those wanting to be more adventurous can try the Flamin' Hot Cheetos walking taco, pretzel nacho bites or pickle pizza.
