Once you’ve mapped out your must-see concerts, make sure your festival itinerary includes a stop at Saz’s BBQ to taste this year’s culinary superstar! We are incredibly proud to announce that our Sweet Lemon Berry Cheese Curds are an official finalist for the 2026 Sporkies. We’ve taken classic Ellsworth Creamery white cheddar cheese curds, fried them to crispy perfection, and tossed them in a sweet cinnamon-sugar mix. Then we drizzle them with a vibrant raspberry sauce and serve them with a side of homemade sweet lemon-zest cream whip. It’s sweet, salty, crisp, and unbelievably refreshing – the ultimate fair treat.
Missed out last year or just can’t stop dreaming about them? Good news! The fan-favorite S’mores Churro Fries from last year’s fair are making a triumphant return. You can still get your fix of these crispy, sweet, chocolatey delights all fair long.
Grab a cold drink, find your spot by the stage, and come feast with us!
