We made our annual visit to the Del Mar Fair<\/a> last night. I hate to admit it, but we ate some of the food. Have you seen the food at the Del Mar Fair? It’s enough to give a cardiologist a heart attack just looking at it. Grease and salt are blended with fat, topped with oil and sugar, then deep fried and served on a bed of lard. Yum.<\/p>\n

However, there is one treat at the fair I cannot bring myself to sample: the grilled corn. The overwhelmingly noxious fumes rising from those grills are something else indeed. Have you ever singed the hair on your skin lighting a campfire? Remember the smell? Well, the grilled corn at the fair smells like someone tossed a 5-day-old dead cat on the flames. Regardless, judging by the number (and size) of people lined up to eat it, it sure must be delicious.<\/p>\n

By the way, the official and proper name of the fair is the Del Mar Fair<\/a>, and has been for years, and always will be. It is not the San Diego County Fair<\/a> as some busybody politicians, civic “leaders” and business interests would have you believe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
