Trying to keep some balance, we ate dinner at home and then went back to the Fair for dessert. The Fla’Mango Tango is mango fried and topped with a citrus glaze and whipped topping with a side of strawberry mango sorbet. It won most creative in this year’s Big Tex Choice Awards. And, of all the sweet foods we’ve had at the Fair through the years, it definitely ranks up there.

Fernie’s Burnt End Burrito Grade: A — Notes: This was a really well-made concept. Lots of burnt ends, cooked well. The cheese didn’t overwhelm the meat. Definitely a meal. The onion rings add to the fullness. The cheese tasted a little too mild for this concept but it was good. Would definitely eat again. Also come a little hungry, I ate this item after something else and struggled to finish. — Location: Fernie’s has a booth just across from the Old Mill Inn and they serve this finalist (and a lot of their past ones) at The Dock inside the Embarcadero building . . . #statefairoftx #bigtexchoiceawards #burntends #brisket #burrito #savory #foodie4life #dallaseats #loveatfirstbite

The State Fair of Texas has been held annually since 1886. And since 2005, Texans have been frying up everything they can in hopes of becoming a finalist or winner in the Big Tex Choice Awards. This year, Ruth’s Stuffed Fried Taco Cone won in the best taste-savory category. We definitely had to try it. It’s an ice cream cone-shaped tortilla shell stuffed with slow-cooked barbacoa, black beans, cilantro lime rice, pico de gallo, queso fresco, and homemade salsa verde. After tasting the barbacoa we definitely understood why it won best-taste savory.
