    This was great! I've been in Texas over 35 years and have been to the fair at least 20 times, but thoroughly enjoyed this video. The Fletchers jalapeño corndog with KETCHUP AND mustard is a must. Chef Cassy's fried collard greens have become a yearly staple, along with Louisiana foods of any kind (Louisiana girl). I'll definitely try the deep-fried cinnamon roll with bacon thanks to you and try again this year for the Biscoff cheesecake (you tried the churros version). The line was tooooo long last year, but it received rave reviews. Thanks for this! You need a day or two of fasting after all you tried for us and your tastebuds!

Also get the jungle juice inside the pavilion. It's cheap. Can't forget the fried banana pudding either!
