This year the winners actually sound tasty and something I would be willing to try, unlike some of the winners previous years.
Deep-Fried Coke and Deep-Fried Butter come to mind.
This year's winner of the coveted Best Taste Award went to Isaac Rousso for his Deep Fried Cuban Roll.
The Most Creative Award went to Justin Martinez for Fried Thanksgiving Dinner.
From the Big Tex website we get a description of the winners and the top competitors. I believe all will be available for consuming at the State Fair of Texas which starts up September 27 and closes on October 20.
Big Tex Choice Award Top Picks...
