everything I ate at the

$100+ at the Ohio State Fair. For food. Just for me. 🫠 Here's the damage: 🍓 Dirty lemonade + fried cheese, $20 (the cheese was mid, I said what I said) 🍇 Tanghulu fruit kebab, $10 🧅 Bloomin' onion, $15 🍕 Veggie stromboli, $10 🌮 Deep fried birria taco, my favorite thing of the day 🍪 Deep fried Oreos, $10 + horchata, $6 🍮 Funnel cake to go, $12 As a dietitian I'm all for a once a year fair day where everything is deep fried. What I'm not for is a family of four needing a car payment to get through the front gate. Fair food has always been a splurge, but this hits different when groceries, rent, gas and healthcare have all gone up too. A day out with your kids shouldn't feel like a budget decision. Our Senator Jon Husted has done nothing to bring these costs down. So: call his office at (202) 224-3353 if you'd rather say it out loud. Keep the pressure on him. Worth the trip? Yes. Worth $103? Ask Jon Husted. 📍 Ohio State Fair, Columbus #OhioStateFair #Columbus #whatiateatthefair #OhioEats #fairfood
