State Fair of Texas | The Brok'n Kitch'n

Though not a common post on the Brok’n Kitch’n, this past weekend was too enjoyable not to discuss. Over the past weekend, I visited my sister in Dallas, TX for the State Fair of Texas (do not refer to this event as the Texas State Fair). This weekend also boasted the biggest attraction of the fair, the Red River Rivalry football game. This game consists of the University of Texas Longhorns versus the University of Oklahoma Sooners.

Despite much of the crowd attending for the game, I was focused on all of the foods the fair had to offer. One thing I came to realize shortly upon my arrival was that the fair boasted MANY fried creations. These edible masterpieces ranged from a handheld meal to a sweet and savory dessert. My personal favorite of the day was the fair’s play on chicken and waffles. This handheld masterpiece was comprised of fried chicken covered in gravy and syrup in a waffle cone. The contrast of sweet and savory flavors ignited a fiesta in my mouth. On top of this, the velvet-like texture of the gravy and syrup was highlighted by the crunch of the crisp waffle cone. Though the picture below does not give this portable delicacy justice, it truly was a wonderful bite to eat. This meal was only one of several others that I enjoyed/SHARED throughout the day. These tasty treats can be viewed at the bottom of this post.

Overall, this visit to the Lone Star state was a great adventure and something I would highly recommend for anyone visiting during the weeks of the fair.
