Fair food is legendary—the logical extreme of American cuisine. The food court is Pinocchio's island for people whose favorite invention is a deep fryer. We train for this. And this year we partnered with the San Diego County Fair to bring you the ultimate “Fairtastic Food Competition.” All told, three judges—myself, Chris Stone of @sdfoodies, and Nirit Wigdor of @sandiegoeats—tasted 36 dishes across six categories and named six of the best things to eat at the fair. One of my favorite humans, Rick Morton of Z90, emceed the marathon tasting. It was a friendly competition. Light bragging rights. But here's the real reason why we did this: people like Gigi Horowitz of Mom's Bakeshoppe. “We all live together back there, it's a community,” Gigi says. “Our kids grew up together, some of them got married.” And people like Charlie Boghosian of Chicken Charlie's. Charlie came to the US from Syria, hoped to work for the FBI. Instead, he invented what is perhaps the defining post-Ferris wheel snack. “I didn't think I would ever be selling fried foods,” Charlie says. “And now I'm in Wikipedia for the fried Oreo.” On this week's podcast we interview three iconic food vendors from the San Diego County Fair about their dreams and their nomad food life. While most of us just see funnel cakes and turkey legs and gigantic, wild, forbidden treats… these are business owners and entrepreneurs big and small, who spend much of the year on the road in RVs, going from one state fair to the next. For the whole run of the fair, most of them live onsite, creating an entire fair society that picks each other up when the going gets tough. Chicken Charlie, for instance, bought the stand off the original owner after working there for 12 consecutive summers as a kid. And now he's the most famous fried chicken man in the land. Hope you guys enjoy the episode. Put your calorie counter in a dark, lonely drawer, but be sure to wear some sort of FitBit and hit the fair—because all those steps easily justify a cinnamon roll with a mohawk of bacon.

Welcome back to the Happy Half Hour! We have two special guests for this week’s episode: Brett Roggenkamp, lead organizer for the San Diego Chapter of Frontline Foods; and Rodnia Attiq, owner of El Borrego, a popular barbacoa restaurant in City Heights. El Borrego is one of roughly 40 local restaurants that Frontline Foods has teamed up with to provide meals to health care professionals and other essential workers who are treating COVID-19 patients. Frontline Foods was started in the Bay Area by an ICU nurse, and since March it has expanded across the nation. Its mission is simple: They collect donations, use the funds to place a bulk order with a local restaurant, and then have those meals delivered to local hospitals. Brett says San Diego was one of the first cities the organization expanded to outside of San Francisco, and since the pandemic began it has directed $150,000 in donations back into our local economy and provided over 12,000 meals. Brett says their goal is to partner with restaurants that are independently owned and order from them on an ongoing basis. He tells us how they find which restaurants to partner with, and notes that they deliver meals not only to large hospitals and ERs, but also senior centers and the Psychiatric Hospital of San Diego County. They’re currently working on delivering 1,000 meals to employees at San Ysidro Health’s 23 sites. Rodnia shares that sales at El Borrego were down by 70 percent, and then as much as 90 percent, earlier this spring. The patio at her restaurant is still under construction, so she relies on takeout and to-go catering orders. She says partnering with Frontline Foods helped save her business, and she was able to retain her entire staff thanks to its community fundraising. In Hot Plates, we talked about how Biga (a longtime favorite of the San Diego Magazine staff for its sandwiches) reopened for takeout, and that Artisan Noodle Tatsuski—a ramen shop that was much hyped before it opened last fall—closed its doors. Chicken Charlie’s opened another pop-up location in Mission Beach right by Belmont Park, so you can still get a deep-fried taste of the postponed San Diego County Fair throughout the summer. All of Homestead Solana Beach’s outdoor furniture was stolen last weekend, and it had to close for a few days because of the theft. But the story has a happy ending: Supporters donated to their Gofundme account to purchase new furniture, and the Del Mar Fairgrounds lent them some patio furniture after seeing the story on NBC San Diego. We’ve got a lot of great recommendations in Two People for Takeout! Rodnia chose the curries at Bahn Thai, and Brett’s pick is Lucky Bolt, a home-delivery meal service that partners with local farms. Troy’s pick is the pizza (and parklet setup) at Caffè Calabria, and David says to try the vegan Thai food at Grains. My pick is the Chongqing spicy chicken and Sichuan dishes at Kangxi Is Coming. A listener wrote in to recommend the pastas at Cesarina. Thank you for listening! As always, we want to hear from our listeners. Do you have a question for Troy? Need a recommendation for takeout? Is there a guest you want us to book on the show? Let us know! You can call us at 619-744-0535 and leave a voicemail, or if you’re too shy, you can email us at happyhalfhour@sdmag.com.
Chicken Charlie Talks Deep Fried Food With Gwynn & Chris

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of Together, We're Gonna Find Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast. Today, I covered S4E6: The Trouble With Harry, which aired on November 3, 1985. In this episode Kate's uncle Harry overstays his welcome at the Strattons' and even pretends to own the house to impress his old rival. I honestly felt this was a weak episode. These wasn't a lot to it. Plus, who cares about Kate's Uncle. We'll never see him again. Him impressing his rival, a guy he doesn't even like. Although it really boils down to Rick. If he hadn't gotten in touch with Harry's friend Chicken Charlie or Charlie Chicken. None of this would have transpired. Also Edward's got a BMW and a Ferrari, cause, why not. He's got the money. Join me next week when I cover S4E7: One Strike and You're Out, which aired on November 10, 1985. In this episode Rick negotiates with his grandfather on a labor dispute regarding minimum wage being paid at his restaurant.

Rejoice! It's episode 161 of the Danish and O'Neill podcast. And, a two hours of power at that. We haven't done a two hour'er in a while, so soak it in. This one opens with us talking about food you can get at the fair. A character named Chicken Charlie is discussed. After that, Danish talks about a conversation he recently overheard, which involved a strange roommate dispute. A documentary is quickly discussed (foreshadowing...the star of it is someone we once discussed on the show). Then, one of the more embarrassing court cases is discussed in great detail. Keeping with the crime and punishment theme, next, we talk about a woman, who wrote a book about killing her husband, perhaps doing what we she wrote about. After that, it's off to Bolivar, Ohio, where a woman is being accused of a felony for sampling some deli ham at her grocery store job. Not to be outdone, a dude was arrested for putting soda in a water cup at a restaurant. There's even some Guy Fieri and Gary Keillor talk. After that, there's some pre-post show post show talk. Your dog will LOVE this episode.
Fried foods have become synonymous with fairs, but it all started 20 years ago when this man decided to deep fry an OREO in pancake batter. Since then, the famous "Chicken Charlie" has fried everything from Kool-Aid, to Slim Fast bars, and even customer shoes. Charlie Boghosian joins the Katchup and explains how all the deep-fried madness started, creating and keeping media hype, and how he has evolved his businesses over the last 20-plus years, to the tune of over $10 million in annual revenue. ---- 3:40- Deep frying medicine with the Foodbeast crew 7:21- Cooking origins and influences 8:39- First stand at the fair in 1995 10:44- Deep fried OREO origins 16:14- Innovating for 20 straight years 19:40- Fried Kool-Aid creates worldwide headlines 24:27- Deep Fried Shoe 31:37- Transition from fairs, to restaurants 39:20- Hiring help from around the world 46:07- Competing with other fair vendors 56:20- The beauty of a fair 57:09- The Million Dollar, Vegas-style food stand 1:06:02- Semi-trucks full of oil and flour ---- Thank you all so much for listening!
