[El Supremo]

DALLAS

A fried carrot cake roll drizzled with cream cheese frosting and dusted with powdered sugar won the annual Big Tex Choice Awards for best taste at the annual State Fair competition Sunday.

Christi Erpillo of north Dallas defeated seven other finalists with her Fernie’s Holy Moly Carrot Cake Roly, which features golden-baked bread swirled with cinnamon, which is then flattened and filled with carrot cake, raisins and julienned carrots.

The outer layer is rolled in cream cheese, panko, graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon and nutmeg, and then fried, dusted, drizzled and served with a side of caramel and a caramel macchiato cream sauce.

The other finalists were:
▪ Chicken Fried Lobster with Champagne Gravy, Abel Gonzales
▪ Deep Fried Alligator’s Egg Nest, Cassy Jones
▪ Fried Beer-Battered Buffalo, James Barrera
▪ Lone Star Pork Handle, Justin Martinez
▪ Pretzel-Crusted Pollo Queso, Allan Weiss

I always get a Fletcher's corn dog and Dr. Pepper. The newer foods are too over the top for me.
