I will now chicken-fry some bacon. My god, what a brilliant idea.

"Everything in Texas is chicken fried and bacon makes everything better so we thought we'd put the two together," said Mr. Kusak
Could that explain the obscene amount of obese people I see here in Texas? I just don't know...

Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Waffle Balls--I will be trying this.

I haven't.

That makes my salt pork fried trout look like a celery stick.

honey peanut butter balls surrounded by chunky fried dough and then smeared in caramel, chocolate and powdered sugar

I gained two pounds just reading that.

"Will you want that Supersized"?

I'm on a diet; I'll just stick to the deep-fried Oreos.

Frank Sodolak is a HERO.

The last guy was the only one who's food wasn't fried. And admittedly, it probably would have placed higher if it was.

Lunch at work one day.



The bacon was the healthiest part.

We truly live in the Golden Age. Chicken fried bacon could have been created generations ago, but it happened now.

daveydave: Frank Sodolak is a HERO.

His restaurant must be the last one in Texas with a smoking section.

I'm all for fried, fatty foods, but those bacon cheeseburgers on donut bun ^ look nasty. Well, maybe they don't look nasty, but imagining the taste, seems nasty.

Deep fried

I tried that once, at the urging of a friend from out of town. It's not bad..but it's something that I would eat once and only once. For the sake of my arteries, of course.

/but it was damn tasty
//tasted like a McGriddle

My god! What don't they just inject the cholestoral straight into their hearts.

/MMM....Chicken fried bacon dipped in gravy

I love the guy on that video who is eating the bacon strips and puffing on a cigarette. Soon, this will be a fantastic story to tell your grandkids. "WOW Grampa, they actually ate that and smoked within the Earth's public atmosphere?! No way!"

I've been to that place mentioned in the Youtube video many times. Sodalak's Country Inn. The first time we expected all kinds of signs and crazy bacon tshirts and buttons and all that, but it's just a simple little place in the middle of nowhere. (Snook, TX, about 90 miles from Austin.)

The country fried bacon is the best thing in the world, especially with the cream gravy. It's great on a salad too. I haven't been back lately to try chicken fried bacon with Bacon Salt, but I will soon!

There's nothing bacon can't make better

I really miss Texas, they fried everything...
Twinkies, Carrots, Turkeys, Macaroni and Cheese, Pickles, Felons

I love anything chicken fried and I love bacon, but the thought of the combination is giving me heartburn, right now.

I love TX State Fair...all the really huge chicks with a Jumbo Corn Dog in one hand and a Funnel Cake in the other.

I thought Fried Twinkies where the highest calorie item every imagined (introduced at TX State Fair in 1998), but somehow they have topped that!

I saw a segment about chicken-fried bacon on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and I wanted to slap the shiat out of that spikey-haired guy.

The damn place was in Texas and I'm in California. Don't show me a little slice of heaven and then slam the door shut!

Refreshing and bacony....mmmmmmm

My arteries have barracaded themselves and refuse to open just from reading this thread. I think if I ever even thought about eating any of the food listed I would immediately have a heart attack, as my heart would leap out of my chest and throttle my brain.

And its not like I eat healthy but damn... Texas is crazy.

Bush isn't from Texas. He was born in CT which any good Texan would know means that he will never be a Texan cause he wasn't born in Texas.

Some people are just not satisfied with earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides and sharks. Count your blessings and eat a fish taco.

I'll tell you the secret - Shiner beer negates all the cholesterol in fried foods. This is how Texans can eat barbecue and chicken fried everything all the time and not fall over dead like a vegan waiter from L.A. after inadvertently ingesting vegetable soup made with chicken stock.

UNC_Samurai: It needs to then be dipped in chocolate.

The minnesota state fair had bacon dipped in chocolate. I didn't eat any, but I'm sure it was delicious

So did the people in Texas read about it on Fark last year?

cksewell: Some people are just not satisfied with earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides and sharks.

Sharks??? Fark that! We're overdue for another riot if people are forgetting that it's California's fourth season. (Earthquake, Fire, Flood and Riot)

If Shark becomes our fourth season, I'm wondering whether it would be because of an unseasonably harsh Earthquake, or an inclement Flood.

That must be why Texas has the best cardiovascular specialists in the world. If you're going to have a heart attack, better have it there.

DAMN that dude has a dunlop (@ 0:46 in the video) - like a 60 inch belly over a 36 inch waist

Don't know if I'd take any diet advice from him...

I am currently deep fried, so I'm getting a real kick out of... everything!

Sorry, I must not be a good Texan. :)

I'd read before that he was born in New Haven (I think). However, he was (unfortunately) raised here, thus tainting the name of our fair state; apparently it didn't do him any good.

Anyhow, I'm going to make myself a BLT now... mm, bacon...
