An upcoming trend for next summer's county fairs?

This year, we say a tremendous number of fried food items served at county fairs (and theme parks) all over, including waffle sticks, deep fried snickers, deep fried Oreos, deep fried coke and even deep fried strawberries. The biggest trend this year was to put the food on sticks, which made it easier for people to eat while they strolled around the fair looking for more foods to indulge in. Next year, we might be seeing a new change, though.

A restaurant in Snook Texas has Chicken Friend Bacon Strips on the menu. These crispy cholesterol sticks are nothing more than extra-large bacon strips, dipped in chicken fried steak batter and, like any real chicken fried steak, they are served with thick gravy. Now, the gravy might not translate well to the fair environment, but since everything else is already being friend on a regular basis, we would not be at all surprised to see chicken fried bacon popping up on fair menus this summer.

[Thanks, Anna!]
