There is a new way to track down your favorite flavors of the fair.

For 54 years Tracey's has been serving up the fan-favorite coney hotdogs, 10TV's Andy Hirschreported on Wednesday.

The booth sometimes goes through more than 1,000 coney dogs each day, Hirsch reported.

"I think food means everything to the fair," Dave Tracey said. "It's the one chance, they giveup their diet, they give up their sensible eating and they come out here to eat great food."

With so many vendors it can be easy to miss the treats you crave.

This year the Ohio State Fair has launched a mobile phone application called Foodfinder, whichlets users search for their favorite food.

Users just text the word "foodfind" to 82672 and they will get a link to a mobile applicationthat lets you search for any food you want, Hirsch reported.

Vendors are happy too because it solves the problem Brian Shenkman ran into last year when hisdeep-fried Buckeye's were the hottest thing around.

"With that technology we wont have the complaints that we did had last year with people sayingthey can't find us," Shenkman said. "You'll find us now."
