EATS

Over on Metro, our colleague Eric Aasen has the goods on what kind of fried goodies you can expect at this year's State Fair of Texas (only 30 days away now!):

Who will be crowned this year's king or queen of fried fair goodness? Eight items are vying for Monday's fourth annual Big Tex Choice Awards, when the best new foods of the upcoming State Fair of Texas are judged. Just thinking about the new concoctions makes your mouth water and your arteries harden. The State Fair starts Sept. 26 and runs through Oct. 19.

See Eric's story for a complete list of all the Big Tex Choice Awards competitors.

PS: I was invited to help judge this contest, but couldn't because I will be in San Francisco reporting on Slow Food Nation. (All together now: Awwwwww!) But maybe next year... ?

I've really enjoyed all of Abel Gonzale's new foods, but I think he has met his match with the chicken-fried bacon. My mouth is waterin' just thinking about it!

I don't think the chicken-fried bacon will win - the prize will go to something more gooey and sweet - but it's a perfect marriage of a beloved ingredient and cooking method. I just might have to eat one. After my annual corn dog.
