East Texas Chefs Getting a Chance to Shine at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas
Gotta love fair season in East Texas. The rides, the food, the games, the food, the exhibits, THE FOOD. We will certainly get our turkey leg, corn dog and funnel cake fixes this year. While we'll enjoy the many fairs in East Texas, some of us will also make the trip to Dallas to check out the State Fair of Texas. In addition to the awesome fair food, rides, concerts and more you'll find, there will also be a chance for some East Texas chefs to show off what they can do during this year's Sate Fair of Texas.
No Shortage of Food to Try
We know about the mounds of fair food we'll get to try at the State Fair of Texas. It will all be fried, some will be sweet, none will be healthy for us, but man oh man will our stomachs be happy. While we enjoy those fair food concoctions at the State Fair of Texas, head over to the Creative Arts Building where you will find a large variety of celebrity and local chefs giving demonstrations and even some samples of their cuisine.
Local Chefs Mixed with Celebrity Chefs
Mixed in with the numerous celebrity and local chefs, four chefs from East Texas will be leading demonstrations during the State Fair of Texas. See who they are and when they are scheduled to appear below:
