Flathead Marines take ‘Best Food of Fair’ title
The Flathead Marines know a thing or two about chicken. In fact, as many fairgoers can attest, you’re likely to smell their booth before you see it. Under the shade of a tent, dozens of chickens are barbecued for nearly an hour until they reach a delectable golden-brown hue. Their chicken dinner has been a staple of the Northwest Montana Fair for years and took second place at last year’s fair food competition. But this year, this group of veteran chefs came out on top in the 2020 Northwest Montana Best Food of the Fair contest.
