Texas Chef Successfully Deep-Fries...Beer! I sincerely hope the committee that hands out Nobel Prizes in the science fields have taken notice of one Texas chef who recently achieved a gastronomical breakthrough: deep-fried beer. That’s right. According to this report: The beer is placed inside a pocket of salty, pretzel-like dough and then dunked in oil at 375 degrees for about 20 seconds, a short enough time for the confection to remain alcoholic. When diners take a bite the hot beer mixes with the dough in what is claimed to be a delicious taste sensation. Inventor Mark Zable said it had taken him three years to come up with the cooking method and a patent for the process is pending. He declined to say whether any special ingredients were involved. Zable will introduce the dish at a fried-food competition in Texas later this month. He’ll serve five of the ravioli-like bites for a very modest $5. If any of our Texas readers plan on attending this food festival, please report back to the Wild Chef (fswildchef@gmail.com) and let us know how they tasted. This dish sounds like the perfect hunting camp side dish. But the question is, what wild game do you think it’d go best with? I’m thinking it’d taste mighty fine next to a slab of grilled backstrap. Any other suggestions? —Colin Kearns http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/hunting/2010/09/texas-chef-successfully-deep-friesbeer
Interesting. They should serve this at the Texas/OU game in Dallas. I remember the first time I heard about Fried Coke and thought it would be amazing, but instead found out it was just fried batter in cup with coke poured into it. Lame.
If you eat enough of them I suppose. But let's hope you atleast catch a buzz before the massive coronary kicks in.
Yep but I just can't ever eat any of that crap, all sounds gross for the most part. Like somebody mentioned, it's a beer that's pretty much ruined because everyone just loves warm beer.
oh contrair monfrair... some of the stuff is good, but not all...I love the corny dogs and the deep fried PB&J and banana was good the first year, but sucked last year...the crepes are always good...The pavillion has lots of great food, plus the cheapest beer... Not sure I'l try this...ravioli beer? pass...
The report I saw about a week ago was that he was using Shiner. It is supposed to be served at the State Fair along with all the other fried crap.
