Everything is bigger in Texas, and fried food is king at the Texas State Fair, which annually serves as the backdrop to the heated "Red River Showdown" between archrivals Texas and Oklahoma.
The fair has seen fried beer, butter, cheesecake and more. This year's best new foods include fried chicken noodle soup, fried Froot Loops, Pinot Noir popcorn and the Funnel Cake Queso bacon burger.
