Did you guys hear, this years finalists in the Big Tex Choice Awards have been announced! Make sure you’re following @statefairoftx & #sharetheSFT for all of the updates! We are curious about this particular item –Fried Jell-O® by Ruth Hauntz “For the first time in Big Tex Choice Awards history, America’s favorite childhood dessert is given a State Fair of Texas twist! A classic cherry-flavored Jell-O in a panko-crusted breading, flash-fried to perfection, and then dusted with powdered sugar. Prepared with a tasty topping of whipped cream and a cherry garnish, this dish has the perfect amount of crunch to compliment the jiggle.” #dallasfoodnerd #friedfoods #instadfw #dallasfood

We hate to break it to you, but our pal #dallasfoodnerd @foodwithmonica is better at the #🍩 game than you. She made this Donut Milkshake from #funkytowndonuts ・・・ Anyone else wakes up early in the morning to go wait in the parking lot for a doughnut shop to be open? 👋‹ *ME ME ME* I heard so many great things about this place so I had to go experience it myself. Their donuts sells out fast, so I made sure I had my hands on these donuts before anyone else did. 👊😏 While my best friend is at home on their instagram page patiently waiting for them to post the flavors of the day. So she can text me which flavors she wants. Hahaha Let me just say that I was not disappointed. Each flavors was delicious. It wasn’t too sweet. It was just perfect from the textures to the designs and the icing was everything. 😋 Warning: Some icing from the donuts is missing due to me driving so fast that my box of donuts hit the floor and abused some of the doughnuts. 😭 ( Let’s just say I did my best in constructing this crazy milkshake. )
