Pima County Fair continuously pushes the envelope with its carnival food monstrosities — pickle fries, spiral cut hot dogs, pizza on a stick, — but this is completely new territory.Â
Over at the Fun Biz Concessions booth in the carnival area, you can now purchase a boat of deep fried nachos for $10. What is that exactly? Well, you take a bunch of Nacho Cheese Doritos and some regular corn chips, crush them up and mix them with jack cheese. Then you roll them into balls and throw them in the fryer. When the balls come out looking like crispy golden meteorites, you open the floodgates and unleash onto them a glistening river of nacho cheese.
This concept isn't entirely new. A quick Google search reveals similar absurdities like deep fried mozzarella stick nachos and deep fried nachos filled with taco meat, speared with a stick and shaped into miniature corn dogs.Â

But the question remains. Why? Regular nachos are extremely delicious as well as extremely unhealthy. There's a good thing going on there, and I dare say these guys have messed it up. The deep fried nacho balls are crispy on the outside, but once you cut into them they're literally a hot mess, like your little brother stomped on your bag of Taki's and you tried to salvage them by making cheesy Matzah ball soup.
I don't know guys, maybe my head was messed up from riding the G Force too many times. Go try them yourself!Â
