DALLAS (AP) — Wondering what they'll fry next for the State Fair of Texas? Start imagining fried pralines and fried Coca-Cola.
Judges today for the second annual Big Tex Choice Awards Contest chose Shirley London's Fried Praline Perfection as the tastiest fried delicacy. Abel Gonzales Junior's Fried Coke took the creativity award.
The two won out among 26 entries such as fried macaroni and cheese and a deep-fried cosmopolitan.
London says she came up with the fried pralines idea after buying pralines at the fair last year. She plans to sell the pralines alongside fried marshmallows.
Gonzales says the Fried Coke came about just from thinking aloud. The concoction includes Coca-Cola flavored batter that is deep-fried and with Coke fountain syrup drizzled on it. That's topped with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry.
The fair begins September 29th.
