State Fair: One week to go

The Fried Chili Frito Burrito, Louis DeLuca / DMN
If you're a fair food fanatic, you're already counting the minutes till the gates open. No doubt you've read all about the new fried foods in stories such as "State Fair's newest deep-fried foods have taste for creativity" and ogled the pics of these fried Fair food finalists. Perhaps you've already stocked up on Handi Wipes and Rolaids. But here's another way to get ready for the big day: the BigTex.com food locator.

This tool allows users to search for food by cuisine type, restaurant name or keyword. Make your selection, click "search" and a page opens with a map plotting all your results with a list of those vendors and a chart of their menu items. You can print the map, the list or both.

"Fried" is not a cuisine type, but if you type it into keyword search, you'll get a list of nearly four dozen vendors. The "fried" menu items will even be highlighted for easy picking. Fried bread pudding? Fried guacamole? Fried strawberries? You may not understand why these things are fried, but you will know who's selling them and where their booth is located.

I actually took your advice and searched fried food at the fair. Fried Cosmopolitan? That one really had me stumped.
