One of my favorite things about October is how the Texas State Fair is finally open for the year. From the fried food, fun games and ridiculous rides, the fair is an annual must. Being from Dallas, Texas, the State Fair is just simply a must during the Fall season. Since I have lived in Norman, I always make sure I get to go to the fair at some point.
One more thing that makes October so great is the annual Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas football teams. What makes this rivalry even better is the fact it takes place in Dallas's very own Cotton Bowl located smack dab in the middle of the Texas State Fair grounds! So this crazy weekend in Dallas combines my love for football with all of the fun classics of the fair.
This past Saturday I finally got to experience this wonderful combination. Even though there were many highlights from this weekend, something this fair is known for across the nation is and always will be the bazar, fried foods it creates year after year.
The most important treat and one that I always make sure I get before leaving is the classic Fletcher's corny dog. The line at this stand is a constant flow of people, both children and adults flock to this stand just so they can taste the epic corn dog. I'm not sure if they put something in the batter that makes the meal so addictive but you often find people who go back for seconds throughout their time at the fair.
Aside from the classic corny dog, the fair also tends to stretch the imagination of those willing to taste the bazar. This year a new addition to the fried family was fried bacon. Unfortunately I missed the stand that was selling these or else I would have taken one for the "Add A Little Spice" team and tried this strange and unhealthy concoction.
If ever in Dallas during the state fair, I really suggest that everyone stop by and get the full experience of the fair by tasting all of the wonderful Texas sized and Texas style foods.
Bon Appetite!
