Fattening Fried Butter One of Many Creative Treats at Texas State Fair

Deep fried butter is among eight creative food items by vendors at this year's State Fair of Texas in Dallas. Fair officials say a Labor Day cookoff will determine the winner of the Big Tex Choice Awards. Deep fried butter is served by Abel Gonzales and it can be ordered in several different flavors: sweet cream, cherry or garlic. "It's like, 'Butter?' I mean, everybody is like, 'What? Ohhh!' That's usually the first reaction until they try it and then they see that it's not what they're thinking," said Gonzales. "I'm not actually taking a big chunk of butter and putting it in a fryer, that would be kinda gross." Gonzales' stand also serves fried Coke, peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwiches and fried cookie dough. OK, if Elvis is alive, he's at the Texas State Fair in Big D.
