Dunno.  It consists of employees of The State Fair of Texas.  I suppose that probably makes one expert enough to evaluate Fair Food.

How does anyone know what is "new" and what was there last year?

The vendors are constantly innovating and they submit their new dishes to the committee intentionally.  Like I said, there is cash, prizes, and publicity for those who win.

It's possible that some vendors bring new dishes to the Fair and don't submit them ahead of time.  In that case they wouldn't be considered for the rewards, and they wouldn't have the benefit of the State Fair publicizing their booth in its maps and marketing materials. 

The New Foods are a big deal at the Texas State Fair.  Fairgoers grab a map and plan a route through the Fair with the sole purpose of sampling as many of the new foods as possible, plus their old favorites.

Ah, that makes sense, to me now.  They submit them to some panel, got it.  

Seems like a fun concept, really, now that I get it.

If MSP Magazine is anything like the other media outlets in town, the new foods were picked by the staff in a snake draft and eaten in rapid succession.

As for the committee, it probably ended in a hung jury.

I'm all for brisket loaded onto mac and cheese, but this Birria Melt sounds like something I'd REALLY dig.

The Korean place near us serves mac and cheese with kimchee and bacon bits.

It is awesome.

I won't knock it, but for me, the brilliance of food on a stick, is that you can eat it standing up, walking around, with no utensils or even a napkin being necessary.  

You can not eat those things standing up without utensils or napkins.
