Who's ready to down some corny dogs and funnel cakes? The State Fair of Texas lives in our veins for just one month, but the truth is, it's almost a year-round operation.

Fair vendors and judges are well into preseason form. The first round of judging is complete, which included 51 entries from 36 different concessionaires. To enter, the vendor needed to have at least one year of experience at the fair as a concessionaire. The entries were whittled down to 36 semifinalists, which were announced July 6. Over the next few weeks, the prelims will begin, and at that time the judges will sample each entry and rank them based on uniqueness, presentation, creativity and taste. No, burning the holy hell out of the roof of their mouth doesn't cost a deduction. These are professionals.
The finalists will be announced in August and the top 10 entries will compete in the final round at a fancy ceremony closer to showtime at the fair., but below are the six winners we're putting our money on, three each from both the savory and sweet categories, based on descriptions only. Unfortunately, the photos aren't available. Visualize.Why haven't we had these already? It makes us excited and angry at the same time.
