DALLAS — The State Fair of Texas traditionally takes place over 24 fall days in Fair Park. But a new reality series hopes to break it out of that box, putting the annual Fair Park-hosted affair on a national stage over the course of multiple weeks, starting this spring.
A just-announced reality show called Deep Fried Dynasty will make its debut on the cable network A&E in March, and it promises to focus on (according to its own words) the "grease-soaked geniuses" and "big personalities behind the mouth-watering food at the State Fair of Texas." Per the extended show description on the A&E website, Deep Fried Dynasty will further provide "an inside look at how these imaginative foods come to life and the millions of dollars on the line for these family-run small business... It’s the American Dream, deep-fried, chocolate covered, and wrapped in bacon."
But will the show's drama ultimately be delicious enough to draw in cable reality show viewers? A bombastic, superlative-filled first-look trailer for the show certainly does its best to portray the series as a spectacle. WFAA can additionally confirm that members of the teams behind Smokey John's Bar-B-Que and Nevins Concessions are also participating in the series.
Just don't expect to see any behind-the-scenes action from the Fletcher's Corny Dogs operation as part of the show; representatives with that outfit tell us they turned down the producers' invitation to join the fray.

I can’t imagine why the US is disgustingly fat.
Sit on ass, order GrubHub, get drunk, and watch a tv show about fried food...
Has anybody tried deep-frying a jelly donut, dipping it in chocolate and then wrapping it with bacon? Sounds like something Elvis would have eaten.
Mmmmmm, deep fried butter!
Twinkies I can see.
They still use the original fry grease from 1974?
It’s so fun. I’ve been going for decades snd have taken my kids snd soon my grandkids will go.
Add in OU vs Texas football.

Oh, it’s been done...
FWIW the FT Worth rodeo made HUGE money this year on the TV show “Yellowstone”
I was born and raised here, going to the SFOT from a young age. I think the whole ‘fry anything’ and have a contest for it all is goofy. Even fried beer was on the menu one year. Having said that, the chicken-fried bacon was delicious.
agreed
