Last year, it was the Craz-E Burger. This year, it's fried butter. The Big E continues to push the envelope when it comes to absolutely crazy caloric treats.
Fried butter, which you can find at Marion's Fried Dough stand close to the main entrance at Gate 9A, is a wicked twist on a dinner roll.
A scoop of frozen whipped butter is folded into a piece of dough and then dropped in hot oil. Once the dough is broken apart (pictured,) the melted butter oozes out. Grab plenty of napkins, you'll need them.
"Once people try it, they say it's to die for," said Marion's owner Paula Cushing-Pote, who also came up with her stand's fried jelly beans concoction.
The $5 order consists of three buttery "rolls," and customers have the option to top them with cinnamon, sugar or maple syrup. You know, if you haven't indulged enough.
We each tried a bite, but couldn't even come close to finishing the whole portion. Upon returning home, I realized that my reporter's notebook was smeared with grease. Occupational hazard?
