At America's porkiest state fair, the veggie table is an institution
, there was a fresh question on the campaign trail: What would the two vegan candidates, Senator Cory Booker and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, eat?
Last Friday, Gabbard ordered a basket of fried avocados, the stand’s new item for 2019 — the fair encourages long-time vendors to regularly— which she picked at as she walked around introducing herself to voters. She even shared a few with a couple of fairgoers. But there was something lurking in the avocados: dairy.
While Booker waited for his second fried PB&J, he chatted with Bryan McCoy, Ruth’s son, about the history of the Veggie Table, a family-run operation that exists each year for just eleven days, and only at the Iowa State Fair. It was founded by Bryan’s grandmother, a vegetarian, in 1981, and has been run by Ruth since 2000.
The Veggie Table’s biggest hit is the veggie corn dog, which consists of a veggie hot dog from the midwestern supermarket chain Hy-Vee that is freshly battered and fried. At the Iowa State Fair,see someone eating a corn dog. Ruth, who introduced the veggie corn dog in 2000, after taking over from her mother-in-law, says that their most regular customers are Indian-Americans who eat vegetarian, along with a large number of younger women.
