Pork Riblets have been named Indiana Pork's "Taste of the Fair" food at the 2024 Indiana State Fair. They will be served at the three Indiana Pork tents for $11 from Friday, Aug. 2 to Sunday, Aug. 18 (closed on Mondays).

The signature food, which features a smaller portion of traditional pork ribs, is paired with three unique sauces: Hot Honey, Nelson's Red Sauce and Citrus Explosion.

The Pork Riblets come from baby back ribs, which are leaner and more tender than ribs that come from a spare rack. For fairgoers that are looking for a healthier food option, this is the choice for them.

"Indiana Pork is happy to feature our "Taste of the Fair" option that is not only delicious, but highlights the nutritional value of pork," said Jeanette Merritt, director of communications at Indiana Pork. "Our Pork Riblets and sure to please everyone who comes to the fair!"

Indiana Pork has featured a wide variety of foods for "Taste of the Fair". The Garbage Burger, Pork Boat, and Loaded Pit-Tatoes are a few signature foods that were so popular they earned a permanent spot on the menu.

"'Taste of the Fair" features something that is a bit different and encourages fair guests to try something new," said Merritt. "These riblets are a smaller portion that can be shared like an appetizer with your family or enjoyed as an entrée."

Indiana Pork has three tents located on the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Tents can be found in front of the West Pavilion, Indiana Farm Bureau Fall Creek Pavilion and near Pioneer Village.
