((Don’t forget, TONIGHT is the sorta kinda Austin premier of "Dead Things<\/a>" at Nueva Onda!<\/a>))<\/p>\n

so i spent last weekend suffering through the damn UT\/OU game just so i could go to the texas state fair and eat deep-fried foods.
\n
\ni must have spent $35 on fried carny food, but these two were easily the best. on the left is a deep-fried latte. wait! it’s not as weird as you think. on the bottom is somesort of deep-fried hushpuppy thing, maybe deepfried tortillas or something, i’m not sure. and on top is espresso icescream with whipped cream. it actually all came together in a delightfully light and delicious symphony of carnyocity.<\/p>\n

to the right is a cosmopolitan, which is a cheesecake wrapped in a tortilla and deep-fried. with whipped cream and jelly. finally, i got to taste the deep-fried cheesecake experience and i was hardly disappointed. the tortilla w\/batter was nicely crisp and light, the cheesecake a rich and steaming goo. definately two fair thumbs up. <\/p>\n

the stand that sold both these fried products is kinda near the swine barn. check it out if you’re in dallas over the next week or so.<\/p>\n

then we get to the cheap trick carny food. deep-fried cookie dough and deep-fried coke.
\n
\nto the left is the deep-fried cookie dough, placed in a chintzy cardboard chevy to make you think it’s fancy. the sopping greasy batter hides an over-whelming wad of suger-tar and fat. it’s like being kicked in the face by the keebler elves.<\/p>\n

to the right is the so-called deep-fried coke. in reality this is a cup of hush puppies that are slightly wet with coke fountain drink — apparently applied post-fry. the coke adds nothing to the deep-fried experience other than to leave a disgusting syrup on the bottom of the cup and leave the hush-puppies lightly soggy. <\/p>\n

not pictured, an adequate corny dog and an adequate frozen cheesecake on a stick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
