This year's headliner at the NC State Fair...

[falafel]

NC is southern? It annoys me how the people on the east coast have no sense of direction.

I agree. We shouldn't even have to ask if South Dakota is southern or not.

I don't know why but I actually am craving that burger. If the patty was thicker and maybe heavily salted and with garlic flavor, enough to overpower the sugar from the donut. mmmmm Don't knock it till you try it!

NC is definitely The South, with the exception of Charlotte.

Charlotte is more The South than Raleigh is.

My annoyance is based upon a geographic definition of more than 200 years. Since then, the US of A has changed a little bit, geographically.

For instance, why Texas is not consider south just baffles me.

Hail Hail to Michigan

Agreed, and New York is hardly new. Glad there is some common sense and New Jersey was updated to be The Dirty Jerz.

[Jeff Lebowski]

That is truly disgusting, Tim. You should definitely try it.

Maybe I'm ignorant on the topic. For me, when I am considering whether a state is a southern state or not, the first thing I ask is which side of the Civil War did they fight for. Never having lived in the South I admit that is probably not the best way to define. I've never considered North Carolina anything but a southern state.

same here

Ah, the NC state fair. Pretty good as far as fairs go. Just make sure you don't get E coli at the petting zoo.

Oh, and I don't think I'd pay money for the Krispy Kreme burger.

Interesting that the most southern part of Charlotte is the least southern. Coincidence? I think not...

Tried one tonight. It might be the BEST THING I'VE EVER TASTED! Holy crap. It works on so many levels. I was skeptical until the first bite. I was glad it cost $8 so I wasn't tempted to get a second one and just give up on losing any more weight this month.

I knew it! That's it I'm making my own krispy kreme burger this weekend.

Dude, if the one in South Carolina was good, imagine how good the one in North Carolina* will be!

I dreamed last night that I was at the Texas State Fair and after eating hushpuppies (do they sell those in Texas - I don't even like them) all day I said to Gidget, hey Ted Nugent lives here, we need to call him.
