Dallas (WBAP/KLIF) – The State Fair of Texas has announced the 10 food finalists that will be available at this year’s fair. One of them is the Cotton Candy Taco — it’s creator Justin Martinez says being creative year after year is a challenge.
“The hard part is not being too crazy where it’s going to be too tough to produce. And too tough to manufacture thousands and thousands of them.”
The winners for best sweet dish, best savory, and most creative will be announced at the end of the month.
