State Fair of Texas--Big Tex Choice Awards

This is my Oscars!  These are this year's award winning fried foods that will served at this year's State Fair of Texas.  Chris and I loooooooooooove the fair and I can't wait to take the Frog this year.  If Chris and I ever get married it will be at the fair.  All of our guests will be given coupons and we can walk around and eat and drink and people watch.  Wouldn't that be fun?! 

The fried club salad contains deep-fried sour dough croutons.  Could anything be better than a fried crouton?  No!  I will also be eating the fried frito pie.

For another take on the fair go here.
