It’s almost county fair time, so we will all have the chance to grab a corn dog or 3. Here are my fears of the midway corndog. In what city was the frying oil last changed? Are there any animals missing from the judging area? Has the cook had his tetanus booster? I think I’ve insulted enough people, so we will move on. So let’s make it at home in the air fryer! Less fat, more sanitary, no question where the meat came from. I hope you like it.
