The food options at the fair feel overwhelming. Just be sure to try at least one of these classic items.
There’s debate over who actually “invented” the corn dog but Fletcher’s definitely made it popular. Founders Neil and Carl Fletcher started making corn dogs at their stand in 1942. Last season, fairgoers consumed 583,000 corny dogs in 24 days. That’s more than 24,000 a day.The funnel cake made its way to the State Fair via Wanda 'Fernie' Winter in the '80s.
Fernie’s has five stands around the fairgrounds, but if you want to sit down, go to the Embarcadero Building.Abel Gonzales, “Fried Jesus,” broke the fried-food fourth wall with deep-fried butter in 2009. It’s since been copied and served across the globe, but here you get the original. A dollop of frozen butter is dipped in a butter batter, deep fried to a nice golden brown and topped with a light glaze.
There are four Smokey John's locations: the Midway, Cotton Bowl Plaza, the Tower Building and Nimitz.Rick and Tammy Stiffler, operators of Newport Concessions, had their first date at the State Fair more than 40 years ago. These days, they pass the time selling more than 75,000 deep-fried Oreos every year at the fair. The secret, they say, is the Double Stuf Oreo variety, which takes a bath in a thick batter before a swim in the fryer.
This inaugural Big Tex Choice Award winner in 2005 was originally a deep-fried homage to the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis: a PB&J with banana, although the banana no longer makes an appearance. Still, this snack is very “Love Me Tender,” with a side of late-life fluffy Elvis. Grape jelly and creamy peanut butter are slathered on white bread, which is rolled in pancake batter before being fried. Then it's topped with more jelly and powdered sugar.
This is another treat from Abel Gonzalez and his Vandelay Industries stand. It can be found on Nimitz.
