And they wonder why the US is so fat.

Here's the list of their different winners:

Best taste

Chicken-Fried Bacon; vendor: Glen Kusak, Yoakum Packing

Most creative

Fried Banana Split; vendor: Shirley Weiss, Auto Grill

Other finalists

• Fernie's All-American Fried Grilled Cheese Sandwich; vendor: Christi Erpillo, Dock Restaurant

• Deep Fried S'mores; vendor: Tami Stiffler

• Fire & Ice (fried pineapple creation); vendor: Abel Gonzales Jr.

But does it beat the deep fried twinkie?

All that stuff will be at the State Fair here in Dallas. I have seen people eating that stuff that should definitely look at the salad booth.

The fried chocolate truffles do sound tasty though. I will stick to winning crappy stuffed animals and giving them to kids as I walk around with my beer and turkey leg.

It does look horribly delicious. Thump..thump...thump.....thu.....th............... .................

I'd give it a try. Sounds good. Although fried food usually upsets my stomach.

I saw that on Food TV, its a diner favorite in some parts of the country apparently...sounds yummy though

Eh, for some reason I'd try fried bacon once, just to see what it's like. Screw all that other stuff though.

And dude, fried twinkies? Nasty.
