These are the State Fair of Texas foods to try, according to 2023 Big Tex Choice Awards
The winners of the 2023 Big Tex Choice Awards are here and there are three new State Fair of Texas foods to try this year.
Each year, State Fair concessionaires fry up tasty and unique foods for a chance to have their unique creations featured at the fair.
There were 57 entries submitted for one of the three winning titles: “Best Taste — Savory,” “Best Taste — Sweet” and “Most Creative.”
Here are this year’s Big Tex Choice Awards winners.
