When you’re ready to chow down at the New York State Fair, why not try something you haven’t had before? Every year brings some new food options and some of them are pretty tasty.

This year the Hound has enjoyed three new specialties right on restaurant row–hearty deep-fried cheese curds, creamy homemade gelato and dense, sweet cookie dough.

The first-time treat you sample this year may become one of your favorites.
