The State Fair of Texas took an entire tailgate, made it into one item, and fried it.
Everyone loves a good tailgate before a college football Saturday, and some of the best tailgating comes ahead of the Red River Rivalry between the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners.
You have the entire State Fair of Texas at your disposal, and they love to fry things, everything. This year they’re unveiling the “Fried Tailgate Party.”
That football-shaped fried item is stuffed with baby back ribs, pulled pork, chicken, sausage, a burger and cheese.
Yes. All of that is stuffed into one item so you don’t have to waste time downing beers by eating multiple items. I mean, it all ends up mixed together in the end after all right?
You only get one of the two napkins, though, based on your rooting interest and it’s only $7, which seems fairly reasonable for an over-priced state fair.
“We starting thinking about what has been done and we thought something like this was missing,” Tom Grace told ESPN’s Darren Rovell. “You have the premier state fair in the country where everything is fried and you have one of the premier football games in Texas-OU, where people love to tailgate foods. So it made sense to put it together.”
It is fall days like this that makes me regret moving away from Dallas, I sit and reflect about how I could just hop over to the State Fair and try these fried monstrosities anytime I wanted.
