'Why not put bacon on it?' This California State Fair cheesecake option left some puzzled in 2013
Back in 2013, a California State Fair vendor decided to switch things up with a new bacon-wrapped treat that got people talking.
KCRA 3's Mike TeSelle was at the fair's opening day and stumbled upon a stand selling bacon-covered, chocolate-dipped cheesecake.
The California State Fair had a track record of offering foods such as bacon-wrapped turkey legs and beer-battered bacon, but this was something new.
TeSelle asked one person at the fairgrounds if the combination sounded intriguing.
"Um, for the the adventurous, yes", she said after a long pause.
TeSelle also asked a vendor at the fair named Amber about her excitement for the odd treat. She said her husband loved cheesecake.
"This is the first year anywhere we will have brought the bacon-covered, chocolate cheesecake," Amber said.
