Martini glasses served with a big scoop of mashed potatoes, and then a whole array of serve-yourself toppings like duck, caramelized onions, fancy cheeses and so on. It was fun and delicious.

The beef sundae is very good. Anything with meat potatoes and gravy is great. Putting it in one bowl makes it easier to eat on the go. You can actually take it with you and still walk around the fair. I can't wait to have mine tonight. Indiana State Fair has chocolate covered bacon. The beef sundae is very good.

This was '72, or there-a-bouts. So, yeah, waaay ahead of the curve on this one. Back when I was a young-un I used to -love- a place on Van Ness called “Hippo Burger”.
