Texas State Fair fried food finalists [View all]

Who will win the State Fair of Texas's Big Tex Choice Awards for 2013?

The fair's main event is the friendly fried food competition that has spawned such creative past winners as Fried Coke, Deep Fried Jambalaya, Deep-Fried Bubblegum, Deep Fried Latte and Deep Fried Butter.

Competition has become so intense that officials have dubbed the Dallas fairgrounds the “Fried Food Capital of Texas.”

The submissions have now been whittled down to eight finalists. A panel of three judges will pick winners in two categories on Monday, Sept. 2.

Here's a look at the finalists and how the fair described each dish.
