Death by a Cheese Stick – $10.99
Giant hand breaded mozzarella cheese stick with spicy marinara sauce
We know why the lines have been so long at Cursed Carnival… What could have been a cheap, basic cheese stick is elevated by the hand-breading. This was presented with solid preparation and a fantastic spicy marinara that really packs a punch. We immediately agreed that this is a great option at HHN 34.

Freakishly Long Corndog – $12.49
Footlong Nathan’s hot dog, hand-dipped, fried, and topped with jalapeño ranch and crispy bacon bits
Again, this is a really solid option. The breading is not too thick, and so the ratio of hot dog to breading is perfect. The bacon was actual bacon and not some cheap take on bacon bits, and the jalapeño ranch sauce was a perfect complement.
