<\/p>\nWe are a bit late to the reporting on this one, but there’s still time to get to The PNE Fair and sample away! Open until September 5, 2016.<\/p>\n

1) Chicky\u2019s Chicken Deep Fried Pickle Corn Dog<\/strong><\/p>\n SaltSpring Concessions started with a small take out noodle bar on SaltSpring island. Seven years later owners Scott and Karlye Dennis now own 13-concession stands preparing a variety of food offerings. 2) Handmade Burgers Mac and Cheese Stuffed Burger<\/strong><\/p>\n Jason Au and his family have been serving up great Fair good for thirteen years. Their food concept is to take traditional fair food and add a 20th century twist. This year Jason is serving the Mac N Cheese Stuffed Burger. Applying their concept, the Au family has taken the all time classic Fair food of hamburgers and updated with house made Mac and Cheese. They pair this locally sourced meat with a fresh baked glossy top brioche bun.<\/p>\n 3) Reel Mac and Cheese<\/strong><\/p>\n Slumdog Millionaire Mac and Cheese 4) International Perogy\u2019s Chicken Teriyaki Perogy\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n 36-year-old Ryan Carlos is a first time food concessionaire at the Fair at the PNE. His family owns TemptAsian Chinese food restaurant in the Okanagan, and Ryan decided to venture into the food truck business with his riff on traditional perogy\u2019s. With a truly international flare and cooked to order freshness, we\u2019re picking this as one of 2016\u2019s breakout hits of the Fair.<\/p>\n 5) Steve O\u2019s Deep Fried Tequila Oreo Churros<\/strong> 7) Gourmet Burgers Hercules Burger<\/strong><\/p>\n The Jones\u2019s family has been concessionaires at the PNE for 15 years. The family operates a number of food booths on site and on the Fair and event circuit. Their latest burger, the Hercules, is likely the most extreme yet. For those looking for a challenge, the 10 pound Hercules Burger is enough to feed you AND your friends. It takes an hour to cook- but it\u2019s worth it!<\/p>\n 8) Hunky Bill\u2019s Perogie\u2019s Bill Konyk won a $10 bet and the rest is history. It was 1967 and the then Vancouver based radio executive bet a friend $10 that he could get a booth at the PNE to sell his homemade Ukrainian style perogies. Legend is that Bill showed up at the PNE administration office and spent an hour and a half convincing the then head of the PNE booth sales department to give him a chance. Konyk got his booth, won his $10 and began a 50-year journey during which time Bill has become one of the most iconic pitchmen and restaurateurs in Canadian history. 9) Craft Beer Festival Selection of Craft beer What’s New At The PNE Fair – Chowing at the PNE We are a bit late to the reporting on this one, but there’s still time to get to The PNE Fair and sample away!
