FLETCHER’S CORNY DOGS

No trip to the State Fair of Texas would be complete without a Fletcher’s Corny Dog. Fletcher’s serves up regular corn dogs, jalapeño and cheese stuffed corn dogs, turkey dogs, and even a veggie dog! All fried to perfection with their famous batter.

FERNIE’S FUNNEL CAKE

A State Fair of Texas staple for over four decades, you can’t visit the fair and not indulge in a Fernie’s funnel cake. Add some strawberries and whipped cream on top for the perfect fair treat!

Winner of the 2019 Best Taste – Savory Big Tex Award, this stuffed taco cone is filled to the brim with slow-cooked barbacoa, rice, and black beans. All topped to perfection with pico de gallo, queso fresco, and salsa verde. It’ll have you wanting to come back for more.

FRIED CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO BALL

Just as described, a fried ball of chicken fettuccine alfredo topped with alfredo sauce, parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. This delightful concoction comes with a side of asparagus and a slice of a garlic parmesan baguette.

CAJUN CRAB BOMBS

Are you noticing a trend here? You can pretty much get anything and everything fried at the State Fair of Texas and that includes crab. The crab bombs reminded me of a crab cake meets a hushpuppy, and they were worth every penny. Perfectly seasoned and the remoulade sauce for dipping was to die for.
