Double Bacon Corn Dog

The Campbell's Concessions' Double Bacon Corn Dog will make its debut at this year's Iowa State Fair. / Special to the Register

Des Moines Register:

 What to eat first is the real question for the ages (or at least 11 days in August, from the 9th to 19th). That deep-fried butter thing is sooo last year. But take heart (and heart medication): The Campbell’s Concessions’ Double Bacon Corn Dog will make its debut this year.
It’s a pretty straightforward recipe: Wrap a hot dog in bacon, deep-fry it, dip it in “bacon-bit-enriched” batter and give it another hot grease bath. The technique is a little more complicated, though, and Eric Campbell, fry master extraordinaire, said these dogs are labor intensive and the method is proprietary.
“Keeping (the bacon) on the hot dog took a lot of experimenting,” he said. So don’t even try to bribe the sweaty teenagers working the stand for the secret.

That sounds healthy.  But let's all thank the Lord that Michele Bachman and Rick Perry aren't going to be in Des Moines campaigning this year.
