DALLAS - A deep-fried Cuban roll filled with chopped ham, pork shoulder, cheese and pickles drew "Best Taste" honors at the State Fair of Texas' fried-food contest Monday.

Meanwhile, the three-judge panel for the Big Tex Choice Awards chose for "Most Creative" honors a Thanksgiving dinner of stuffing, turkey and cream corn rolled into a ball and deep fried.

At the Labor Day event, the judges tasted the culinary creations from eight fair food vendors before picking the winners. A committee had selected the finalists from among 54 entries.

All eight finalists' dishes will be for sale during the State Fair of Texas, which runs Sept. 27 through Oct. 20, fair spokeswoman Sue Gooding said.
