Did you know that Fletcher’s offers a vegetarian-friendly corn dog at the State Fair of Texas? We did, because even if you prefer not to indulge in a Funnel Cake Bacon Queso Burger beneath Big Tex’s watchful eye, you deserve to eat something while you wait in line for something else.
But it’s not just faux hot dogs that will be keeping you afloat. There are a number of solid sounding options for any vegans and vegetarians planning to visit Fair Park from September 29 to October 22. Here, we’ve compiled a list of them. Veg on.
For the Vegetarian
Spinach Quesadilla
Find it at Lone Star Roadhouse in the Centennial Building.
Greek Salad
Find it at It’s All Greek to Me (of course) at the Tower Building.
Spinach Dip Bites
Find them at Belgian Waffles on Grand Avenue (right outside the Centennial Building).
Veggie Corny Dog
It’s at Fletchers. You’ll know where to find it.
For the Vegan
Fruit Cup
We know it sounds boring, but they add a splash of lime juice and Cajun pepper, so this ain’t your momma’s or Zoe’s Kitchen’s fruit cup! Find it at Fruteria at the Tower Building.
Mango on a Stick
We’re sorry we mocked you in the subhead of this story, mango on a stick. You’re actually quite lovely, and can also be found at Fruteria.
Hummus or Roasted Nuts
Hit up BW’s Famous Fried Ribs at the Tower Building for these delicacies.
Skillet Vegetarian Burrito
Non-meat eaters get to enjoy Tex Mex too at Texas Skillet at the Midway.
Sweet Potato Fries
Find them at the oddly punctuated Jack’s Frys Too! at Cotton Bowl Plaza.
Veggie Pies
Doc’s Street Grill at Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard has these, along with vegetarian-approved fruit cups and smoothies.
Roasted Corn
Ask for it sans butter at Darn Good Corn at the Midway and Coliseum Drive.
