It seems like every year around this time when the State Fair of Texas announces the newest concoctions , transplants from Chicago ask this question. There are also the almost comically boilerplate articles in HuffPo, or in other places about the ridiculous things us Texans are doing with food. The Fair grew out the agrarian society of harvest festivals and fairs.
The only proper way to eat a corny dog, which was first created at the Texas State Fair. With mustard while saluting Big Tex at the State Fair. Not alone on your couch watching TNT everynight. But you know what is an everyday foodβ¦the Big Mac. They are perhaps more unhealthy than fried butter because, if nothing else, you can eat one every day from today until the day you keel over several months from now as a result of eating Big Macs every day.
Just looking at one ages you several years. I could literally go out and eat half a dozen corny dogs, and then eat two more corny dogs, and then eat another half one before I stopped after realizing I ate a box of corny dogs.
Eat through the pain!!!! Come on West Virginia, get some exercise. And how about you California. You wonderful bastion of moderate consumption, vegan eating and generally healthy food trends. California Cool Cuisine??? Okay, now I see, this is heathly California Cool Cuisine. Also, any Rocky Mountain state. Look, we here at the State Fair have fried butter, beer, smores, deep fried bacon, snickers, and any number of things. Or as you call them Rocky Mountain Oysters.
Ah New York. If the leading culinary cause of American obesity is fast food restaurants, then coming in at number 2 might be TV dinners.
