Why?
Are State Fair sandwiches inferior to the plethora of deep fried treats on sticks? Are they less interesting than than the abundant culinary oddities like fried cheese curds?
I think my answer is that there are very few truly unique sandwiches available. I mean Deli Express, the crappy gas station sandwich maker has a booth at the Fair. I kid you not. They even have microwaves, just like at the gas station...
So, is there room for a sandwich in the middle of the calorie fest of Pronto Pups, mini donuts, cookies, roasted corn, pork chop on a stick, malts, hand rolled pretzels, etc., etc., etc?
Yes. There is one sandwich I always make room for: the Gizmo
The Gizmo is sort of like a Sloppy Joe. But with Italian sausage and covered in melted cheese. They're awesome. This year I got it twice. The first time I shared with Beth and Karen. The second time I just shared with Beth. Next year I'm getting one all for myself!
Try them next year--the stand is way up Machinery Hill, by the end of the sky glider.

Yum, that looks delicious! Wish I was at the State Fair right now! The pork chop on a stick was scrumptious. And, I still have the stain on my shirt as a memento. Eggplant sammies looked like a picture out of a magazine!
Glad to hear the Fair wasn't a total sandwich bust.
I'm salivating at the mention of cheese curds...
