Hot beef sundae best fair food

DES MOINES — The Hot Beef Sundae served by Cattlemen's Beef Quarters was named Best Choose Iowa Fair Food via an online vote on the Iowa State Fair’s website.

The Best Choose Iowa Fair Food Contest was created this year to highlight fair food menu items made using ingredients sourced from Iowa. Choose Iowa is the state’s signature brand for Iowa grown, Iowa raised, and Iowa made food and ag products.

About 10% of the food stands at the Iowa State Fair, including all of Iowa’s commodity groups that produce protein as well as the Iowa Honey Producers and the Specialty Crop Growers, submitted entries for the Best Choose Iowa Fair Food Contest.

Choose Iowa aims to expand the number of vendors who participate in the contest in subsequent years.
