  • I didn't exactly plan on being at Madison during the Taste of Madison. But, it was super sweet that Labor Day weekend coincides with it. My girlfriend and I did Monona Terrace tour followed by Capitol tour then got hungry at around 4ish. We scoped out the usual suspects. I felt kinda bummed not being able to try deep fried cheese curds at the Mn State Fair. So, she treated me to some curds and it was really good especially with some ranch dip. Afterwards, we tried some unagi (eel, rice, and some sponge-like fish stick. Next, we tried a samosa which was good. Then, we got a fried halibut fillet which in my opinion was the best. Afterwards, we finished up with some macaroons- lavender and rosemary. In my humble opinion, this far exceeds the Mn State Fair in terms of price and portion. Mn State Fair costs $13 just to enter the fairgrounds. Plus, you got to dish out more for those large portion sizes. Unless you are traveling with a group of teenage boys, you have no chance to try everything and need to be very selective. This is unless you are my colleague at work who carries in a bag with tupperware and wax paper plus cold packs to ice down the chocolate dipped bacon and also keep all the Martha's cookies separated. On the other side, you have the Taste of Madison which has no entrance fee/admission. Plus, all food is $5 or under which is what was advertised. And, you get to taste pretty much everything without going into a food coma with the large portion sizes. Yeah, it's 4 hours away but the crowd here in Madison was not bad. Plus, we stayed at a super sweet location at Hilton Monona Terrace which was right on the lake and got lakeside room. Hands down, the closest to a state fair without dealing with the crowds. A few weeks ago, I could only count a few items I had at the fair- Martha's chocolate cookies, corn on the cob, and honey ice cream with sunflower seeds. So, I would totally come back here again. The only thing I would say would have made Mn State Fair a better choice would be the free things since I did score a sweet insulated lunch bag. Plus, you do have more shows and exhibits- loved the agriculture and forestry bldgs (not so much with the barnyard animals since it was smelly).
