As you may have heard, this year's features include:
the donut cheeseburger
patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato sandwiched between 2 Krispy Kreme Donuts! and we thought deep fried butter was a bad slash good idea
deep fried coke
funnel cake batter made with coke, deep fried, then drizzled with concentrated coke syrup and then hit with whipped cream. Apparently the fried bits themselves aren't bad, but the syrup is nauseatingly sweet.
And if that isn't enough to get you barrelling for the gates, check out blogTO's photos of the CNE from days gone by. People went in droves and apparently they were fancy back then - boater hats and long skirts were de rigueur for a day at the fair.
On until Sept 5, $16 admission ($12 if you're over 60 or under 13, but then you're not really our reader demographic).

PS. blogTO's been posting a series on old photos of Toronto, including the aforementioned CNE photos, the building of the Gardiner, and Yonge St in the 70s. Looks like fashion's come back around. Now if only the mullet could make an unironic resurgence.
