The Minnesota State Fair has a new must-try food item that has been causing a buzz: deep-fried ranch. Served at Lulu’s Public House, this unique dish is made with ranch dressing filling made with ranch seasoning, buttermilk, and cream cheese in a panko shell, deep-fried, and dusted with ranch powder, accompanied by a side of hot honey sauce. The concept for deep-frying ranch dressing was developed by Charlie Burrows, co-owner of Lulu’s, who worked on it for over a year and a half. Despite its unusual nature, the dish has become a hit at the fair, with customers waiting in long lines to try it.
Deep-fried ranch has garnered attention not only from fair-goers but also from celebrities and politicians, including Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, country singer Blake Shelton, and Sen. Tina Smith. Feedback on the dish has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing surprise at how delicious it is. Even those who were initially skeptical, like TikTok food creator “Chef Reactions,” found themselves enjoying the unique flavor.
The dish has received praise for its creative execution and delicious taste, with some describing it as a combination of a cheese wonton and Hidden Valley Ranch. For those interested in trying this unconventional fair food, it will be available until the Minnesota State Fair closes on Labor Day.
