Californians have a tendency to over-eat. Pictured is the Guinness Record World’s Biggest Hamburger from the Alameda County Fair; and World Champion Hot Dog Eater, Joey Chestnut from San Jose, who really ate all those hot dogs in a few short minutes.

If consuming large quantities of Fried Butter, Fried Hostess Twinkies and Fried Oreo Cookies at a county fair doesn’t give you enough indigestion, stick around for some tasty festivals filled with tons of cholesterol and artery-clogging ingredients to assure you’ll go home with a case of heartburn. From bacon to cheeseburgers with extra salt, pizza to macaroni & cheese, these festivals are sure to please:
