Billy G's Carolina BBQ, donut dogs, Mexican street corn sundae and dill pickle pizzas are among the treats in store at the 2023 South Carolina State Fair. 

DeAnna's Donut Dog is a mouthwatering sensation that includes a homemade Long John donut and an all-beef hot dog topped with bacon and donut glaze for an extraordinary flavor explosion. DeAnna's Donut Dog proudly holds the prestigious "Best New Food" title at the 2022 Florida State and Steele County Fairs. 

"Its undeniable popularity makes it an absolute must-try at this year's S.C. State Fair," according to their site.

New this year from DeAnna's Diner is this grilled-to-perfection hot dog wrapped in a sweet glazed donut bun and drizzled with glaze and bacon.

From fried salted caramel pretzel brownies and fried Twinkies on a stick to fried s'mores on a stick, who doesn't love fried things on a stick?  All these will be at the Deep-fried Treats trailer. 

With a Mexican street corn sundae, you can "indulge in a mouthwatering delight" made with fresh-cut fries layered with warm chile con queso cheese, sweet corn, Mexican spices, crumbled cheese, cilantro lime crema, crushed corn chips, and topped with your choice of Cajun shrimp or sirloin steak."

Wisconsin cheese curds, mango tea, watermelon Arnold Palmer, and fresh sweet potatoes are also on the menu.
