When I was kid, I used to love corn dogs. Every summer here in San Diego we would to the Del Mar fair and one of the things that I just had to have was a corn dog. A corn dog and an Orange Julius and I was good to go. Wandering around the farm exhibits, riding the few rides that the fair offered, tossing pennies onto plates and the shooting galleries were also favorite stops at the Del Mar fair, but the corn dogs are what stick out in my mind.

I taught a children’s cooking class and thought that making corn dogs would be a great thing to show the little ones. Easy to make, easy to clean and almost all kid have had one. What better way to keep a kid’s attention than by showing them something that they like and understand…what a concept that is.
