    Irish social media star takes on outrageous food at State Fair of Texas

    Instagram

    Many a word has been written about the over-the-top food served at the annual State Fair of Texas, and the latest comes from Garron Noone, the Irish musician, comedian, and social media star who's become an international sensation for his witty posts and reviews on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

    Noone surged to fame in late 2022 for his incredibly funny, often profanity-laden posts on life in Ireland, dryly promoting the Irish as the most attractive and appealing nationality while sarcastically denigrating the rest — and always capping his posts with his catchphrase, "Follow me, I'm delicious."

    His combination of satiric outrage, self-deprecating modesty, and sharp wit have garnered him nearly 2.4 million followers on Instagram and in 2024, he won a Gossie Award for "newcomer of the year."

    Food is a frequent topic (he has strong opinions on the right way to make a cup of tea), and he likes covering on extreme foods — so it's no surprise he would take on the State Fair of Texas, with a September 27 post called "Shocking Texas State Fair Footage" where he provides commentary, in his trademark Irish brogue, on a compilation of State Fair visitors eating new foods being served at the State Fair of Texas in 2025.

    "This Texas State Fair is fucking crazy," is his opening line, as he introduces a clip showing the making of Rousso’s Cotton Candy Bacon on a Stick, featuring a 12-inch piece of bacon with a cotton candy glaze on top, which won a Big Tex Choice Award in 2024.

    "Look at this," Noone says, aghast. "This is bacon cotton candy. He is melting the cotton candy right onto the bacon so it's just concentrated death. I'm outraged, I'm disgusted, you may notice the tears," he says pointing to the corner of his eyes — "but I simply must go to Texas and seek this blessing."

    Next up is a fair visitor, chowing on a turkey leg.

    "This is a turkey leg? I have never seen a fucking turkey like that," he says. "This is definitely the leg of a mythical creature. Whatever it was when it was alive, we don't have it in Ireland and we don't fucking want it."

    The next post is a visitor whose order includes the What on Earth is This? A UFO-shaped smash burger atop ranch onion rings with a syringe you use to inject a mysterious sauce.

    "What on earth is this?" is superimposed over the guy squeezing the syringe, provoking Noone to say, "Oh, it looks like it needs to undergo a medical procedure before being consumed."

    Noone reveals a love-hate relationship with corndogs, stating that he's never had one.

    "Corndogs have always looked disgusting to me— like they'd be warm in a very unsettling way," he says, before lamenting that he's ending his video without getting a chance to review the deep fried butter.

    "I might have to do a part two," he says.

    TV alert

    Dallas attorney to compete for $100K on HGTV competition series

    A Dallas attorney-turned-interior designer is taking both her design talents and competitive instincts to national television: Chalon Clark will compete on the new season of HGTV's Renovation Resort Showdown, premiering Wednesday, July 1.

    According to a release, Clark will compete alongside friend and contractor Liz Truluck on the renovation competition series hosted by Scott McGillivray and Bryan Baeumler. Clark is the only competitor from Texas.

    The show pits four contractor-designer teams against each another as they renovate waterfront cabins at a lakeside resort. Teams are judged on design, craftsmanship, budgets, timelines, and other renovation challenges. The winning duo takes home a $100,000 prize.

    Clark has an unconventional résumé for an HGTV contestant. She is the founder of a Dallas interior design firm called Design Redefined and also a practicing trial attorney and partner at Husch Blackwell law firm.

    She says the two careers have more in common than people might think.

    "People are often surprised to learn that the same skills that make me successful as a trial lawyer translate directly into design," Clark says in the release. "Both require listening carefully, solving complex problems, advocating for a vision, and paying attention to every detail. Whether I'm preparing for a trial or designing a space, my goal is the same: to create something intentional, impactful, and meaningful."

    Clark's Design Redefined specializes in residential, commercial, and resort projects. She says her work focuses on creating personalized spaces that reflect each client's story while balancing style and function.

    Her design work has been featured in publications including Martha Stewart Living and House Beautiful.

    Clark says appearing on the show is also about encouraging others to pursue passions beyond their primary careers.

    "I hope I'm an inspiration to anyone who feels stuck in a career that no longer reflects everything they are," Clark says. "Your passions don't have to die because you've become successful in one area of life. You can make room for them. I'm still a trial lawyer, but I've also built a design business and now find myself on HGTV. You don't have to choose just one version of yourself."

    The new season of Renovation Resort Showdown premieres July 1 on HGTV; check cable and streaming services for local times.
