Deep Fried Butter Wins 2009 State Fair Of Texas Big Tex Choice Award

That is Twisted Yam on a Stick looking tasty in the picture. The Twisted Yam did not win the 2009 Big Tex Choice Most Creative Award. That honor went to Abel Gonzales and his Deep Fried Butter on a Stick.

The Twisted Yam on a Stick would seem to be a more nutritious choice, but the Deep Fried Butter likely tasted better. Who does not like butter on toast?

Fernie's Deep Fried Peaches & Cream won the coveted Best Tasting Award. One judge wanted to kiss the Deep Fried Peaches because it looked so good. This delicacy is made by frying peaches that have been dipped in a batter flavored with ginger, cinnamon and coconut, topped with raspberry sauce with a scoop of vanilla frosting on the side for dipping purposes.

The Deep Fried Butter comes in 4 flavors. Just plain ol' butter. Or butter seasoned with garlic, grape or cherry flavors. Yum.

Deep Fried Butter is not the first time Abel Gonzales has won a Big Tex Choice Award. He has also won Best Tasting titles for Texas Fried Cookie Dough and Deep Fried Peanut Butter, Jelly and Banana Sandwich. He has previously won the Most Creative title for Deep Fried Coke.

It was win #1 for Fernie's Deep Fried Peaches & Cream creator, Christi Erpillo. The Peaches & Cream were her 5th attempt.

The State Fair of Texas starts up in Fair Park in Dallas in a couple weeks, running from September 25 through October 18, giving you plenty of time to pack on plenty of pounds eating plenty of the Big Tex Choice Awards goodies.
