I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
The New Mexico State Fair may only come around once a year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy fair foods in New Mexico throughout the year. Located in Albuquerque, Clowndog Hot Dog Parlor is a circus-themed hot dog joint showcasing endless toppings as well as numerous menu items you’d find at the state fair.
If you love hot dogs, corn dogs, and other fair-style foods, you must make your way to Clowndog Hot Dog Parlor in Albuquerque. With accolades like "Best of the City 2022" by the readers of Albuquerque Magazine as well as the Guinness World Record Holder for corndog eating in 2022, this is a must-visit spot.
One thing you can certainly find here is food on sticks, which is one of the most fun types of food you can get at a fair. Corn dogs, of course, are among the most popular foods on sticks, and Clowndog certainly has those!
If you feel a creative spark, why not build your own hot dog? First, choose either an all-beef hot dog, a housemade veggie dog, a turkey hot dog, or a bratwurst. Then choose from a list of dozens of toppings.
