Texas Eats: State Fair Edition

We wouldn't be getting the true Texas experience if we didn't try out the state fair (If only to say that we went once!) It was a fun time walking around with our friends, people-watching, and of course, fried-food watching.

You would not believe some of the things they fry here! I was truly amazed. There was fried brownies, a variety of fried candy bars, fried oreos, and fried coke and lemonade. How do you fry liquids?! Still a little confused about that one. Moving on to the savory; we saw fried pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, fried hot dogs, and the winner of the fried food contest for 2015: fried lobster tail!

I don't care how gross it is, it all looked delicious. We were laughing that just that week in med school they had talked about high cholesterol rates and the obesity epidemic in America. ha. We debated our choices for a while, but finally decided on fried pollo queso, one of the runner-ups for the fried food contest. Basically, it was a mixture of chicken, spicy cheese, and jalepenos fried in a pretzel batter. Yum!

And of course, we had to do the obligatory picture under creepy Big Tex.

Thanks to our awesome friends for checking out the fair with us!
