FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. (FOX 9) - It's crazy it took this long for deep-fried ranch dressing to be on the new food list at the Minnesota State Fair.
Deep-fried ranch dressing is one of 33 official new foods at the Minnesota State Fair this year, and it will surely be on many Minnesotan's must-try lists.
It's just ranch, fried.
Here's how it's described on the State Fair's website: "Ranch dressing filling made with ranch seasoning, buttermilk and cream cheese in a panko shell, deep-fried and dusted with ranch powder. Served with a side of hot honey sauce crafted with Cry Baby Craig's hot sauce." It's vegetarian.

The dish will be sold at LuLu's Public House in the West End Market.
FOX 9 got a preview of the item on Tuesday — the filling is thicker than ranch dressing. Kelly O'Connell likened it to a cream cheese wonton. Hannah Flood said it's better than a cream cheese wonton saying, "It's so good" and rated it 10/10.
Social media is already buzzing at the idea of ranch dressing deep-fried. While some think it's a disgusting idea, others are thrilled to try it. Here's a sampling.
In addition to the 33 official new foods, there are also six new food vendors this year.
The Great Minnesota Get-Together runs from Aug. 22 through Labor Day, Sept. 2.
