These are the must-try State Fair of Texas foods, according to Redditors  Dallas News

When the State Fair of Texas rolls around every year, the new and buzzy foods seem to get much of the recognition. But according to a group of local Redditors in the r/Dallas thread, there are plenty of other foods worth the love and that are considered staples to many. Here’s a list of these Redditors’ go-to State Fair foods that go beyond the hype. Savory State Fair foods One Redditor said the Cajun shrimp stuffed baked potato is “one of the only items at the fair that’s actually worth what you pay.” The Blackened Shrimp Baked Potato can be found at the Shrimp Doc booth, which has been operating at the fair for over 10 years.

Fried frito pie bites at Bert's Concessions is a dish one Redditor gets every year. Another item they praised was Nevins Concessions’ Texas Ranch Hog Wings, calling them “a tender and juicy eat-with-your-hands serving of pork.” The hog wings are slow-cooked pork shanks that are flash-fried, tossed in spicy ranch seasoning, and topped with the stand’s signature Damn Serious Sauce and green onions. Another Redditor said the viral Pickle Pizza by Tommy G’s is “actually worth the hype.” Milagro’s mole fries and a grilled pimento cheese sandwich, or the Hammy Pimento Meltdown, from Highland Park Soda Fountain also were listed.
