New Foods at the Texas State Fair for 2019

The Texas State Fair is coming up September 27th through October 20th. One of the things to look forward to is the new foods. Here are the items you can try out this year. I'm not going to pretend to give my own description of the foods, so this comes directly from the State Fair website.

CAJUN CRAB BOMBS

Two iconic flavors of the Gulf: crab and shrimp, are combined with a Cajun twist to make our mouth-watering “Cajun Crab Bombs”! First, we take jumbo lump and backfin crab meat and mix in just enough egg, panko, and seasoning to form our signature “Crab Bombs”! Next, we insert a jumbo shrimp into each bomb, with the tail sticking out as “The Fuse”! The Crab Bombs are then dusted lightly with fish fry and Cajun seasoning before fried golden brown. Served with Remoulade Sauce.

DEEP FRIED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU STUFFED WAFFLES

We take perfectly deep fried fresh breaded chicken cutlets stuffed with Prosciutto di Parma (Italian Ham), add melty swiss cheese baked seamlessly inside an original Belgian “Liege” Waffle (made from dough, not batter) and infuse with authentic European pearl sugar. Each “Deep Fried Chicken Cordon Bleu Stuffed Waffle” will be generously dusted with a sweet and savory seasoning and served with a drizzle/dipping sauce like you have never tasted before. It is spicy made syrup chipotle kicker sauce that will blow your mind!

DEEP FRIED NUTELLA CUSTARD STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Deep Fried Nutella Custard Stuffed French Toast is a sweet French Toast sandwich filled with the ever popular Nutella®, homemade vanilla custard, and sweet smoked crumbled bacon between two pieces of French Toast. This amazing blend of flavors is then coated with a ground blend of many popular breakfast cereals and deep-fried to perfection. Crunch on the outside, soft and sweet flavors on the inside! Topped with stiff, handmade whipped cream, and a strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, lemonade puree.

CHAMPAGNE JELLO HOT SHOT

Great Texas favorites come together in an explosion of flavors. Tongue tingling Champagne, crisp Chablis, and cool, sweet as-candy Watermelon Jello with spicy slices of jalapenos make this a memorable adult treat. Served in a 3.25 oz portion cup for your enjoyment.

THE "AIN'T NO LIE IT'S FRIED" STEAK

The State Fair gets a true steak house experience with a texas steak worthy of Big Tex. A 14oz Strip Steak is slowly tenderized for 5 hours before hitting the fryer to get the inside and the outside of your steak perfect. Order your steak to your likeness (rare to well done and all points in between). We have set our timers and our fryer temp precisely to get your steak PERFECT. We fry our steaks in beef tallow to get that extra added flavor and crispy char. Our steak will be cut for you and placed on a pile of garlic fries that also get crisped up in our steak fryer. A side of our house recipe chimichurri sauce completes your texas feast!

FRY RUB & RYE

This refreshing libation begins with wine-based whiskey, egg whites, lemon juice, and maple syrup, which together are shaken vigorously, creating a rich velvety mixture. It’s then poured into a (plastic) glass which has a smoky mesquite BBQ rub dusted rim, and then adding a light, mango infused craft beer. This thirst quencher is then “dressed” with a skewer that has a fried pickle wedge, onion ring, and a stuffed jalapeno popper to complete your BBQ beverage experience.

GOOD OLE CREOLE BOUDIN EGG ROLL WITH PEPPER JACK CHEESE

The East says Howdy to the West in a ” Good Ole Creole Boudin Egg Roll w/ Pepper Jack Cheese”. The traditional savory seasoned rice has been fused with the ooey, gooey goodness of Pepper Jack Cheese! All rolled in a flaky, crispy wonton wrapper. Deep fried to a golden brown, and ready for a splash of sweet chili paste dipping sauce.

CHICKS IN A CONE

Piping hot, extra crispy, mouth-watering fried popcorn chicken, perfectly seasoned with Cajun goodness and tossed into a scrumptious waffle cone then drizzled with your choice of a house sweet sauce or Mama’s hot sauce!

PB & J BACON PICKLE DOG

We slice a large crispy, crunchy dill pickle then roll it in a special batter and deep fry. It is served on a hot-dog style sweet Hawaiian Bun drizzled with peanut butter and topped with bacon jam.

LOADED BAKED POTATO FUNNEL CAKE

A new twist on a fair favorite, this funnel cake is dressed to look and taste like a “loaded with all the goodies” baked potato.

DEEP FRIED ENERGY BITES

A protein-packed energy bite, fried in a sweet rolled oat batter, graciously drizzled with an espresso chocolate glaze, and served on a bed of fried coconut shreds. These nutritious bites of goodness are the perfect blend of peanut butter, chocolate, honey, oats, and coconut. Indulge in a sweet snack without the regret!

FRIED SOUTHERN BOURBON BREAD PUDDING

Mama’s bread-pudding with a Southern New Orleans flare! The pudding is soaked in milk, bourbon, brown sugar, and spices for a burst of delicious flavors. Each bread pudding ball is hand-breaded with breadcrumbs and flash fried so that each bite is custardy, crispy, and crunchy. Each dish is served with a side of sweet bourbon graze for dipping and it’ll have you wanting to take another bite.
