Lobster corn dogs and fried shrimp grits: 25 wild new concoctions debuting at the State Fair of Texas this year
The calorie-dense newbies run the gamut, from frozen ranch water to country fried shrimp grits. Essentially, if it could be deep-fried and dusted in powdered sugar, thereโs a pretty good chance you can find it at the State Fair this year.
In search of fried oreos at the Big Tex Fair Food Drive-Thru
It wasnโt until I was driving out of the parking lot that I remembered the fried Oreo. Lucky for me, organizers replaced the fair as best as they could with the Big Tex Fair Food Drive-Thru. It felt good to see the 55-foot-tall iconic Big Tex, even if he wore a face mask and the usual crowds didnโt surround him. It felt good to taste food that, even if you can get it elsewhere, somehow tastes better at the fair. When baseball season ends, football begins, and the State Fair of Texas hosts the Red River Showdown between Texas and Oklahoma.
