The State Fair of Texas is something that I wait for every year. I love the atmosphere, the car show, the music and yes, the fried food.
This year, the surprises on the variety of different fried foods hit an interesting note. Deep fried Coke is the new fascination and number one promotion when you look at the menu of artery clogging chow. Now, it might sound interesting, but believe me, it’s over rated.
Probably my favorite new dish was the Donkey Tails. It’s a beef frank, slit down the middle, filled with cheese, wrapped in a flower tortilla and deep fried to perfection. It’s a very good addition to an already full menu.
Other items I tried was Cajun Shrimp on a Stick, Fernie’s Fried Chicken n’ Waffle, Fernie’s Fried Mac ‘n Cheese and Fried Avocadoes (this was interesting, but still ok). The one thing I wish I would have tried, but didn’t was the Fried Praline Perfection. I hear it’s awesome and would make a trip back to The Fair just to try it out.
Even with all the new additions, a trip to The State Fair wouldn’t be complete and is always worth going alone just to have an oldie but goodie – a Fletcher’s Corny Dog. It was the first thing I got when I walked in the gate.

I'm so jealous! I love the fair and haven't been able to go in four years! So head back over and eat some food for me! Oh, yea..since I have four kids...they'll all want some food to, so you've got a lot of eating to do...might want to take some friends with you.
