The end of summer is near and that means the only way to kick off a good labour day or an end of summer is with food and games at a fair. Unfortunately, with fairs being closed we can’t have the wacky food or fun games this summer, but we could try for ourselves at home.
Chef Matt Basile and Tostitos have teamed up to make fun recipes that will remind you of the fair, and be a (small crowd) pleaser at a picnic or bbq this labour day weekend.
Not only is labour day weekend a great day to spend the last days of summer outside having fun with friends or family, but on August 31st, it is a national eat outside day. To commemorate the day and weekend Chef Matt has created two crowd pleaser recipes that will make you think you’re at the fair.
To think about fair food is always going to be fun things that you wouldn’t really try at home, sometimes it would be extra-large bags of popcorn, or footlong corndogs, or deep-fried mars bars. For this “at-home” long weekend, Chef Matt and Tostitos has you covered, they have teamed up to create two awesome recipes that will have you thinking you’re at the fair.
