The New Mexico State Fair will be in the spotlight on Sunday, March 5, when an episode of Food Paradise will highlight some of the best fair foods in the nation, including two long standing state fair food concessionaires. The Travel Channel filmed the episode on site at the New Mexico State Fair during the 2016 event, and their description of the episode indicates they traveled to the Land of Enchantment to taste the “best of the best.”
Featured vendors will include Casa Dog, owned and operated by Gil Stewart and Rex’s Makin Bacon, owned by Rex Thompson. Both vendors are locals and have been serving up delicious New Mexico State Fair food for decades. Both vendors operate multiple food booths at the event.
“We really enjoyed the opportunity to host the Travel Channel crew at last year’s New Mexico State Fair. We know from experience that fair food is one of the best things about the event, and one of the main reasons people come to the fair year after year,” said Dan Mourning, General Manager of the New Mexico State Fair. “The New Mexico State Fair has gained national attention as a premier event, and the folks at the Travel Channel were drawn to our uniquely delicious New Mexico cuisine as well some of the traditional fried favorites you’ve come to expect during a visit to the fair.”
Two other fairs will also be featured in Sunday evening’s episode. Check local listings for times.
