The finalists for the State Fair of Texas have been announced-- 5 savory and 5 sweet. There are a couple here I'll probably give a go.

The ones that interest me are The Holy Biscuit:



This mouth-watering southern explosion starts with a perfectly cooked golden-brown biscuit. Then, slow-smoked shredded brisket and ladle fire-roasted street corn queso is stacked on top of the biscuit. Then, thick-cut bacon is drizzled with Texas honey with a little bit of kick. The masterpiece is complete when it’s topped off with crispy pickle French fries. Your taste buds will go crazy with the savory-sweet crunchy combination of flavors all in one bite. 

And the Ultimate Brookie Monster:


The Ultimate Brookie Monster is the ultimate in dessert decadence. It’s like a dessert hall of fame party on one saucer. It starts with crispy, chewy chocolate chip cookies, layered with Oreos and marshmallows. Then, the creation is covered in triple-chocolate brownie batter and baked together into a super brookie. The fun begins when the brookie is then battered and deep fried. Then, the super brookie is showered in powdered sugar, and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. To finish, it is topped with cheesecake crumbles and strawberry sauce.

I've never liked biscuits. Even if I did, how do you eat that thing?

With two hands.

And biscuits are one of God's great creations.

Of course, my all-time favorite deep fried food at the state fair, is the humble corny dog.



Pair that with a few wax-cup beers, and you've got a breakfast of champions.

My mouth is not large enough, even if I had 4 hands.

I'm glad God created those I guess. Keeps fewer paws on actual good bread varieties.

The deep fried seafood gumbo balls won the Grand Prize last year, and they were pretty darn tasty:



The balls consist of a dark roux batter loaded with shrimp, stewed chicken, crab meat, and andouille sausage, then rolled in saltine and breadcrumb crust and deep fried. The gumbo balls are served with a side of roux dipping sauce.

I don't think I could do a state fair anymore.

I hate people.

Nash Vegas was enough for me last week.

I know what you mean.  After 35 or so years of attending the State Fair of Texas, I know how to navigate it and avoid situations that I don't like.  

And I'm okay managing UT home games amongst 100,000 people just fine, for the same reasons.

But I attended one day of the ACL Music Festival a couple of years ago, and it was just absolutely miserable.  My days of attending music festivals are officially over, I suppose.  And I'm fine with that.

Yep, we used to go to the LaLa events back before they settled in Chicago.

Not a chance of that today.
