40 food items will be served on a stick at the fair. The newest addition is:

Pig Knuckles On A Stick

---Pudding On A Stick has been discontinued

Never mind then.

;~)

Maybe if I change my name to GAZETTEFANMOON I can get it rezoned.

I always wanted to live in a Taco Bell. I wonder if the code department or the city council would rezone the empty one on Milton to residential.

garyprimer - Wonderfully said, however, I believe not everyone will get it.(!)

fair food has gone from good to forget about it. so this year i forgot to go.

It's not just Del Taco. That said, I like the idea of a Greek deli with the lamb on a spit (a Chicago invention, by the way). And Greek restaurants are apparently thriving despite the downturn.

I had the frozen cheesecake dipped on chocolate on a stick yesterday. It was good for about the first 3/4, then I was getting tired of it. I think it was a little bit too big. If two people shared it, it would be perfect!
Today it is a gyro for dinner. Had my first one two years ago and was hooked.

The Rollin' Pin sale is at Choice Cleaners on Memorial Drive, not at the bakery on Hwy 14.

I miss rollin pin...... My mom used to take me in there all the time when I was a kid and they always had a free fresh cookie to give you. Thats one of the many customer service things that have fallen by the wayside over the years. I did just see in the paper that they will be having a sale out on hwy 14 this weekend though so I guess I can still get my fair week cream puff fix!!

I mentioned the Del Taco building because that or the old Taco Bell would be good spots for a Gyro joint. WE NEED ONE. Who wants to go into business??

Yes, Del Taco is gone. Not a huge surprise.

My personal favorite - the blooming onion. Does anyone know if the onion vendors are back again this year?

I seldome come to janesville... Del Taco is gone already???

Ivegotanopinion....Yes! I go to Rockford for my gyros. Either Uncle Nicks or Tom & Jerry's (for their Greek Platter).
MMMMM

Thanks hannah and flying monkeys about 5 points. I may check them out if my cravings get bad!

BrightIdea - You got that right! Yummy. When I go, I eat too many, but it's worth it.

Momnahalf - What does that link have to do with this story? Geez.

I'm looking forward to indulging at several fair establishments today! momandahalf -- I really don't think Mr. Angus is conspiring against the fair food industry. Chill out and post your comment elsewhere.

Are you reading the truth, or what Editor Scott Angus wants yoou to hear ? It seems Mr. Angus has taken up censorship on other articles on the Gazette Extra.....

I'm a big fan of the eclairs and cream puffs, cheese curds, corn dogs, lemonade, funnel cake, curly fries and mini donuts.
Those are favorites from over the years

Not a big fan of the prices, though.

The Brodhead UCC has a food tent there where they serve (I think) the only and the most delectable fruit~in~a~cup. They also have a breakfast burrito, (awesome) biscuits & gravy, (really good) and cinnamon buns, (excellent warmed). They have other food, but I haven't had time to try it all ~ yet. Check them out!

The best place I've been to so far for gyros is in Whitewater at Day n Nite Cafe on Main St. Really good priced too ( Plus they have a "Day N Nite Burger" which has gyro meat on top of a burger) mmmmm.....

The mini-donuts are the best!! Too bad I have to pay $8 just to get in to buy them and leave...but its worth it!! :-)

The Greek restaurant was on Center Ave just south of St. Peters Church. The little car lot now. Yes, the food was good...but the conditions were rather gross. Big 10 Subs had great gyros. Did I hear someone say the old Del Taco building? Am I missing something? Didn't like that place anyway.

Mikki-
Uncle Nicks in Rockford has the best gyros! There are two on State St.
It's a drive, but well worth it!

Fair food MMMMM already have had some cheese curds, malt, burgers and chicken strips & curly fries. Tomorrow more goodies, eclair (to take home) and probably a gondola or maybe the crab ragoon combo.

The food is the only perk with having to be at the fair 15 hours everyday. Only downfall is Monday I will need to start a diet to get rid of all of the extra weight I will have put on from the 6 days of fair foods....MMMM but it is all worth it.

I miss the eclairs and cream puffs that Bob Hiller used to serve with his Rollin Pin Bakery. I think the 4H fair committee dropped the ball when they lost him.
Just my opinion.

While I always support the Optimists, the photo of the curds from the Dairy Promotion trailer sure look a lot more tasty than the frozen lumps they've been offering the past few years. If they really want to make some money, they should learn how the Monroe Optimists make theirs!

mikki- use to be Athens, or Hilltop (bar downtown Jnsvll). Both gone now.
Heard 5 points have good gyros, but don't think I'd go there for them.
Milton Family Restaurant does pretty good as I've found out lately. Not off the spit though.
I've seen ads for gyros at the lunchbox in Milton too, but haven't tried one yet.
Think I'll go to the fair and get a boatload this weekend! They look GREAT!!

No and that would be a great idea for someone looking to fill either the old Taco Bell or Del Taco buildings. Many years ago there was a Gyro place on Center Ave. I think it's Lisa's now. Anyoo. I just remember it was really dirty and there were flies all over the meat while it was roasting on the spicket. YUK. I'm still craving a big fat Gyro though.

Is there anywhere in Janesville to actually purchase an authentic gyro, meat off the spit???

Anyone else suddenly feel hungry?

I hope everyone get a chance to stop at the Optimist cheese curds and chicken nugget stand. This wonderful group work very hard to earn money they can use to support the youth in our area. This is their biggest fund raiser and all money earned goes to support kids.
