Noah Cappe jets into State Fair Meadowlands to check out the freak show of food, beginning with Cream Cheese Larvets. He also indulges in the Pig in Mud: chocolate covered, deep fried bacon. Next, it's down south to Alabama. Local Vendor Big Daddy's BBQ Ribs are the talk of the fair, but it's the Sweet Potato Pie Ice Cream churned in a tractor that converts Noah into a believer.
For an easy-to-please Italian menu, Sandra has just the solution! Start with an antipasti plate with a selection of Italian meats and cheeses like mortadella ham and mozzarella.

Sure to be a crowd pleaser is the dessert: Mocha-net Cream Cups and a Capputini. Bon appetiteo!
