Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
At least, at the Texas State Fair it is. It's Deep-fried Coke.
Abel Gonzales Jr. flavors his batter with Coca-Cola, deep fries it, drizzles Coke fountain syrup on it, then tops it all off with whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and a cherry. Gonzales's creation won for creativity at the second-annual Big Tex Choice Awards Contest, beating out such delicacies as deep-fried macaroni cheese and deep-fried Cosmos.
Deep-fried Coke may sound weird now, weird enough to get a little Farking, but back in 1942, a cornbread-battered hot dog on a stick might have sounded weird, too. Now we have corn dogs.

"Why just rot your teeth when you can clog your arteries at the same time?"

I commend Abel for thinking of a new tasty treat to be enjoyed on a classic special occasion - The State Fair of Texas!

10-07-2006 @7:31PM Emily said... I agree, this is something that people will eat once in a lifetime or at least once a year at the Fair. I thought it sounded out of control, but I saw it on TV and it looks kinda good.

Quite tasty...the perfect finish to a day of jalapeno cheese corny dogs, foot-long sausage on a stick, tornado fries, warm beer, sausage on a stick, Lemon Freeze, Belgian Waffles and cheese cake on a stick. Would have been better with a scoop of ice cream instead of the whipped cream, though.

10-17-2006 @12:43AM brit4246 said... I'm not quite sure why this concept upsets all the weight nazis, but it fair food. People only eath this way at the fair! Once a year, you ignore everything you've ever learned about fat, sugar, and proper portion size, and you eat like a pig at the fair. I'm from Florida, and the only time I eat deepfried anything is at the fair, and that's only once a year, if I can make it. This is this man's businiess, and he came up with something creative and tasty, why in god's name is everyone so upset? As for this whole "America is full of fatasses", well, then move to some godforsaken country and starve, because you people obviously think that malnourished=sexy=good.

Part of the fun of the Fair is to try these crazy dishes. Get over yourselves please, you all need to try coming to the fair and maybe you'll lighten up.
Peace

My whole life we´ve used beer or coke to marinate all kinds of meat before eating them (of course you throw it away when you´re done) but ir proves that al kinds of foods, fatty, nutritious or not can be used in a good meal
