Pulled Pork Sliders Recipe From ‘Fair Foods: The Most Popular and Offbeat Recipes from America’s State and County Fairs’

A brand new Cookbook is out just in time for summer!  Fair Foods: The Most Popular and Offbeat Recipes from America's State and County Fairs by George Geary is the goto resource for fair food recipes.  George was a culinary judge at the Los Angeles County Fair for 28 years and has tried out almost every weird concoction under the sun!

George has taken his knowledge of fair foods and put recipes from fairs across the country in one cookbook, so you can enjoy what our huge country has to offer from the comfort of your own home!

Steve did his Steve's Stories on the history of fair foods and included this awesome cookbook as one of his sources.  Steve made a recipe from the book for everyone on the show to enjoy and it was a huge hit!
