Taste Test: Does TCU’s new purple Korean corn dog live up to the hype?

TCU has introduced a new purple-colored snack at football games this season: the Half-Acre Korean Corn Dog.

TCU describes it as a “hot dog + mozzarella cheese combo dipped in ube batter, fried in panko, dusted with ube powder and drizzled with a sweet and spicy honey.”

I’ll say this for it: It tastes a lot better than it looks.

Here’s my video review from the Horned Frogs’ 42-21 victory Saturday over Abilene Christian in their home opener.
