The Minnesota State Fair has unveiled its new foods for 2025, including chicken-fried bacon fries, dill pickle iced tea and more.

The full list of offerings includes almost three dozen items and eight new vendors. 

The aforementioned bacon fries come from Soul Bowl, and come with a choice of dipping sauce: Cashville Hot or 24k Gold BBQ. You'll find the dill pickle iced tea at Loon Lake Iced Tea — it's served with a dill pickle spear and garnished with chamoy, Tajín, salt and dill.
