2011 State Fair Food Challenge


OMG! When Ryan and I go to the Texas State Fair it's pretty much about the food. We always go to try the Fair Food Challenge, which involves eating the top foods that year. This year, we made it all the way through 8 items. The rules are that we can only order one of each thing to split and that we don't deviate from the items except for with beer. Otherwise, we would never be able to finish. So, it's ranking time.

1. Bananarito - Banana coated in cinnamon sugar, wrapped in a flour tortilla, fried with chocolate sauce, whipped cream and a cherry
2. Walking Taco - Taco meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese on top of crunched up nacho cheese Doritos.
3. Hans Kraut Balls - Saurkraut and sausage balled up together and fried, dipped in cranberry jelly
4. Fried Pineapple Upsidedown Cake - Pineapple ring dipped in cake batter then fried and topped with whpped cream and cherries
5. Fried Autumn Pumpkin Pie - Pumpkin cream cheese filling surrounded with dough and fried.
6. Buffalo Chicken in a Flapjack - A buffalo chicken strip coated in flapjack batter and fried, dipped in syrup.
7. Deep Fried Salsa - Salsa balls coated in tortilla chips and fried, dipped in nacho cheese sauce.
1,378,129. Fried Bubblegum - Bubblegum flavored marshmallows fried.

All of the above items were pretty good, except for the Fried bubblegum. It was one of the worst things I have ever tasted. It may have won most creative, but there is no way it would have ever won best taste. I can't wait for next year's Fair Food Challenge!
