    State Fair of Texas

    Funnel cake ice cream, a bacon-wrapped Twinkie, and a cotton candy taco are among the finalists for the State Fair of Texas' 2018 Big Tex Choice Awards, the annual contest celebrating fried foods.

    10 finalists have been named who will compete for one of three winning titles: Best Taste–Sweet, Best Taste–Savory, and Most Creative.

    The final judging is a public event with "celebrity judges" on Sunday, August 26. Tickets this year, available online at BigTex.com, are $125.

    The 5 finalists for savory are as follows:

    Deep Fried Shepherd's Pie by Clint Probst
    They mix shredded cheddar cheese and cream into their savory mashed potato pillows. Each potato ball is filled with Grandma's shepherd's pie filling made of ground beef, mixed vegetables, and beef gravy. A special seasoning adds flavors and textures as the filling and creamy potatoes mix with each bite.

    Deep Fried Skillet Potato Melt in a Boat by Tom Grace
    This is a tater tot on steroids. They start with golden brown skillet potatoes, then add diced breakfast sausage patties and pack the mixture around a mini Babybel cheese loaf. It's rolled in seasoned flour and fried. They're served in potato skins and topped with cheddar and bacon bites, with sour cream chipotle sauce served on the side.

    Fernie’s Hoppin’ John Cake with Jackpot Sauce by Winter Family Concessions
    The classic ingredients of black-eyed peas, white rice, spicy smoked sausage, green onions, and a secret blend of special spices are combined with bread crumbs and eggbeaters and formed into a cake. This cake is breaded in an egg wash that includes flour and panko bread crumbs and deep fried. The cake is topped with a black-eyed pea relish, garnished with pickled okra, and served with a side of Jackpot Sauce.

    Texas Fried Hill Country by Justin & Rudy Martinez
    The best of everything that would come out of the Hill Country in Central Texas. Fried mozzarella and basil are sandwiched between two green tomato slices, then hand-breaded with seasoned breadcrumbs and fried. Each dish is served on a bed of field greens, finished with balsamic drizzle, and Texas honey.

    Texas Twang-kie by Chris & Sherry Howard
    Cornbread cake is hollowed out and filled with Tex-Mex grilled chicken white bean chili. Each twang-kie is served with cornbread fries and more chili for dipping.

    The finalists for sweet are as follows:

    Arroz con Leche (Sweet Crispy Rice) by the Garza Family
    A cinnamon-spiced rice ball is formed, battered, and coated in crispy puffed rice cereal. The ball is then fried and served with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and powdered cinnamon.

    Cotton Candy Taco by Justin & Rudy Martinez
    Sweet s'more creation begins with a graham cracker waffle cone batter that is pressed into a crunchy taco shell shape. The inside of the shell is coated with marshmallow glaze, then stuffed with chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and cane sugar cotton candy. It's topped with chocolate cookie crumbles and two chocolate cream-covered biscuit sticks with marshmallows.

    Fernie’s Orange You Glad We Fried It?! by Winter Family Concessions
    Layers of moist chiffon orange cake, whipped cream, and orange preserves are blended to form a refreshing custard-like filling. The mixture is spooned into puff pastry dough, folded turnover style and sealed, then fried into crescent-shaped pillows of citrus bliss. It comes with two dipping sauces and a double citrus twist slice.

    State Fair Fun-L Cake Ice Cream by Tom Landis
    The essence and flavor of a funnel cake is combined with ice cream. Created by Howdy Homemade, this super premium ice cream has funnel cake flavor infused into it with funnel cake pieces and powdered sugar mixed throughout. Served with whipped cream and strawberry sauce.

    Sweet Bakin’ Bacon by Ed & Eddie Campbell
    A cream-filled sponge cake is wrapped in bacon, then dipped in a funnel cake batter and fried.

    Sweet crepes are coming to Addison via Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café, the Houston-based crêpes chain, which is opening a location in Prestonwood Place, at 5290 Belt Line Rd. #110, with doors expected to open in early 2026.

    Sweet Paris was founded in Houston in 2012 by Ivan and Allison Chavez with a mission to revive the art of eating crepes. There's a location in Southlake, which opened in 2024, and another in McKinney, which just opened in June. (There's also a location coming soon to Dallas' Snider Plaza.)

    The menu offers 20 crepes in varieties savory and sweet including dulce de leche, lemon & sugar, s'mores, chicken enchilada, Philly cheesesteak, and a vegan option with portobello mushrooms, black bean purée, corn salsa, and chipotle sauce.

    While crepes are the signature, they also serve waffles, egg breakfasts, panini, and salads. A "croque madame" crepe has scrambled eggs, gruyère, smoked ham, & béchamel sauce, while an Alaskan has smoked salmon, pickled red onions, capers, and scrambled eggs, topped with dill sour cream, & scallions. Everything is $20 or less.

    They also serve beer and wine, mimosas, milkshakes, espresso drinks such as lattes, and hot chocolate.

    This new location marks the third of four units to be developed by franchisee duo Ludo and Yi Le Gall.

    “We fell in love with Sweet Paris the moment we discovered it,” Ludo says in a statement. “Bringing this unique experience to Texans has been a dream come true, and we’re thrilled to grow our presence throughout the state with a new location in Addison.”

    Situated within Restaurant Row at Belt Line & Montford, Prestonwood Place includes hot hot restaurants like Mendocino Farms, Flower Child, Loro, Postino, Original Pancake House, and more. All it was missing was crepes. Now that niche has been filled by Sweet Paris, with crêpes, coffee, and charm.

    Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café has been growing and now has 21 stores in operation in Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, Texas, and Mexico.
