What's inside deep-fried butter balls besides butterfat? Something funky that possesses little boys to break loose and shake it. The Texas State Fair's deep-fried butter (what can't you throw into a deep fryer?) inspires this boy to hunch over and get his boogie on. Are there some sort of deep-fried butter gods controlling his every move? Sure looks like he's under a spell, not to mention the happiest kid ever. The video, after the jump....

Remember the tornado potato? That strange spiral-cut potato that's skewered and deep-fried? The street-food treat found in Seoul, South Korea? It did a whirlwind tour of the web in 2007, when the blog Superlocal posted a photo of it. (And, yes, we blogged it, too.) It looks like the tornado potato has finally made it Stateside. It'll be available at the Minnesota State Fair this year (August 27 through Labor Day), but I caught sight of one this week on the boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey, which is basically all state-fair food all the time (at least during the summer tourist season). [What it looks like, after the jump ...]...

"After a few minutes, I was handed what looked like a single frozen fish stick on a plate." I had heard about the art of candy bar-frying for a long time and I didn't explore it for all sorts of reasons. Was fear one of them? Yes. And the bizarreness of it all too. So, I toughened up and headed to the Carron Fish Bar in Stonehaven, Scotland, the birthplace of the deep-fried Mars Bar. What was I afraid of? Yes, they must be really fattening, but lots of other foods are too and most of them tend not to scare me. And it was the sort of folk food I normally would revel in. I mean, it wasn't fugu....

If you didn't get enough gefilte fish over Passover, which ends today, here's a new one: deep-fried gefilte fish. Following the golden rule of everything's more palatable deep-fried, the fish patty moves from a jar of jiggly broth to a vat of bubbling fat juices. Phyllis of me hungry! was inspired after her husband took a whiff of the stuff plain: He’s never been a fan of processed food, and he likes his food served warm. So he offered up a novel suggestion, 'Could you maybe deep fry it for me?' Funny that he should ask—I just finished reading an article about deep fried gefilte fish, which is apparently quite popular in the UK. Deep frying makes everything delicious but...

Only a (withering) review on Taquitos.net convinces me that this wasn't some Twilight Zone snack encounter. Has anyone else tried, or liked, these?

Dim sum in these parts has basically jumped the shark. While we’re no Vancouver or San Francisco, we have a couple of really solid options, Phoenix and Shui Wah. Problem is like every brunch spot in the city, they’re so popular, you usually spend more time getting jostled by other fanny pack clad patrons waiting for a seat in the lobby than you do eating. As a result, my dim sum consumption is pretty much in line with my green leafy vegetable consumption, which is to say, pretty much zero. Last Sunday, though, I pulled myself out of bed, won the culinary lotto, and found myself with only a five-minute wait at Shui Wah. Shui Wah is home to...

Only five more days of the Texas State Fair (it ends October 19), which means only five more days of Jelly Bellys rolled in funnel cake batter, then deep-fried. The menu also includes: fried grilled cheese, fried s'mores, fried Pop Rocks, a fried dinner roll, and fried cantaloupe pie....

Few things are as alluring as the golden crust of "deep fried." Kelly Schmickle made a dinner out of frying morels in a simple beer batter and seasoning them with salt and pepper. This is definitely not what I'm having for dinner tonight, although I wish it were.

This video showing the chicken fried bacon available at Sodolak's Original Country Inn in Snook, Texas, has been around for a while, but when it first made the rounds it wasn't embeddable outside of YouTube. It looks like the author, Bob Phillips, has changed that. So here it is, after the jump, if you missed it....
