Outside of the traditional contests, does your fair hold new/unusual contests? Tell us about them.

Just this year Wisconsin State Fair added the "Best Food of The Wisconsin State Fair." We had over 40 items entered and those were boiled down to a final 8 items. The finalists were judged by the panel that included restaurateur Joe Bartolotta and Packers Super Bowl Champion Gilbert Brown.

The Finalists Included:
~ Cajun Mac-n-cheese - Tropics at the Fair
~ Iced Irish Coffee Float - Slim McGinn's Irish Pub
~ Island Slaw - Island Noodles
~ Mac Attack - West Allis Shrine Club
~ Mela Fritta Gelato On-A-Stick - La Coppa Artisan Gelato
~ Rasta Shrimp Sliders - Tropics at the Fair
~ Thanksgiving Waffle - Slim McGinn's West
~ Deep Fried Peanut Butter & Bacon Nuggets with Berry Weiss Jelly - Saz's

Here Are Our Winners:
~ Best Tasting: Island Noodles - Island Slaw
Judges Reaction: On Milwaukee's Andy Tarnoff said "This is the best gluten free dish I've ever had."
~ Most Creative AND Grand Champion: La Coppa Artisan Gelato - Mela Fritta Gelato on a Stick
Judges Reaction: During the sampling, Gilbert Brown slowly stood up and everyone wondered what was going on. Was he sick? Was something wrong? He calmly walked over to La Coppa's Arthur Sawall and HUGGED HIM. Without a word, he sat back down!
